Universal : Riding Gears Thread

[rkakkar]

Can someone please recommend good knee pads and the place where I can get them in Bombay? I've gotten confused going through this thread as its become huge and there are many many brands posted here. My max budget is 1K.

You may get in AH Helmets at Andheri west, near lotus petrol pump
Their site : A.H. helmets

You may mention xbhp, for better treatment

I think the knee pads what sagar had posted in above posts, are well within your budget.

one in your pic cost's 600/- (knee pads and elbowpads) from AH.

They look like a neat pair of protectors but what about the fit and comfort??

Do they sit in place?? A small review would help

@jacob -- the fit and comfort of this protector seems to be good.
Lot of mumbai guys are using the same.
but the knee part of raptor is not thick enough like cramster which you can actually scratch.

Seems decent in the low quality pic. Has anybody used / tried this jacket? Throw some review, guys.

Cramster has just refreshed their stocks with some new stuff. It'll be wise to wait a while and watch before buying.

See this for the time being Bad experience with Cramster.

My personal experience hasnt been very good with cramster, so I wouldnt recommend it. I would recommend DSG over cramster anyday.

What makes you say they are good? The RUSH jacket was launched only last week like you have said. Do you know anyone who has already bought it and ridden an acceptable distance to judge its worth and posted a review? all in less than 3-4 days since it has been launched? Please dont take this personally but do not recommend something just because you think it is good. More often than not, someone will buy it after reading stuff here and then cuss you for an ill informed advice.

^ ouch. too sharp mate. personally I feel Cramster Is Just BS. I'd reccomend A*/SCOYCO/DSG in that particular order. From what I've seen nothin beats A*, but when it comes to SCOYCO Vs. DSG i'd go for SCOYCO just because of its Quality. You can nvere really put a VFM tag for riding gear, but on a acceptable standard, scoyco is rightly priced for the product in offer.

I'll Post a Review of JK-24 Pretty soon. Cant really wait to get my hands on it....

personally i had a good experience with cramster.
i am using brezeer for past 5 months and found it very good, and somebody has to buy to post a review.
and when i saw SCOYCO on this thread i thought i should have waited for this.
and vrathor wanted something to go with his green ninja.

Peace.

My side of Mumbai is a sad place, no1 stocks the knee protectors, or even balaclavas, just flashy helmets.

So see yew on Thursday.

And how much do u think a good pair of 1) Elbow guards and 2) Gloves will set me back by?

Been using a cheap 200 buck glove, i swear its holding together coz of my sweat.

Mumbai!!

[chicmagnet]

Hemant from AH Helmets told me that he will be receiving shipment of the Fox Rapture Knee Guards very soon.

I wanted to know how does it compare with the AXO Knee Guard? Which one is better?

He had a knee + elbow pair for 1500 in blue colour. Was thinking of picking it up and giving the elbow guards to my girl! (but will probably buy a jacket for her instead!) But will wait for the rapture to arrive.
