    Made in Pakistan, Washing Instructions


    protective pad holding pockets are in lining they tend to slip( im not telling its attached to thermal lining i mean another lining which is very thin and perforated)
    All Buttons are RE engraved looks good,
    For 7500/- INR they could have included CE approved Back protector and double buttoned collar, elbow adjustable strap, zippered pockets in thermals, Chest protective pouches(so we can upgrade)

    Now comes to hard part, fits and feelings vary from person to person, for me its bit loose not a perfect fit, protectors tend to loose, air circulation is very good if you cruse @ above 45KmpH at lower speed you will have sauna bath!!
    little pre curved shoulders are helpful,

    Review Approved

    Do give us an update once you have used the jacket for a few more kilometres. Thanks

    Since i have used this jacked, though it is mesh(?), it is still too hot to be used in North Indian Summer. I is a loose fitting jacket, good for people on the rounder side of things, not a slim fit, something that i require.
    Biking is not about what you have between your legs, its all about how well you use it!!!!!!!

      good for people on the rounder side of things, not a slim fit.[/QUOTE]

      Yes!! Seriously its not for the slim shaped persons. It may perfectly fit for persons who have a protuded/bulged stomach..

      Even i have felt heat sometime, its really not A value for money product, they sell same jacket without GT tag with black color for 6999/-, they just bumped 500/-rs for GT tag,

      If someone is serching a value for money product this is not recomended, if you are brand attached you can go for this,

      My friends fooled me to buy this

        This jacket is essentially the same as Cramster's Breezer jacket if i'm not mistaken. I just recently picked up a Cramster Breezer 4s for almost a 1000 bucks cheaper! Just different labeling.
