Hey All,


I recently bought the v2.0 of the The Breed Gear's ADV Breed Jacket. Its a slim fit Mesh+Cordura based riding jacket meant for hot/humid areas likes India.
It is manufactured by Lets Gear Up in HSR Layout, Bangalore. The couple who own the store offer an unconditional 6 months warranty at their store and will try their best to solve any issues that you might have with their gear.

1. TBG ADVBreed Riding Jacket - Rs 7950/- - FB Link

A great VFM riding jacket for people with a slim build. Potbellied people cant wear this(Can accustom bellies a little bit).

Pros/Features -
1. Great fit and finish, no loose strands throughout.
2. Sastec Level 2 armor for back, elbows and shoulder.
3. Carbon fibre external shoulder protector.
4. Mesh build with big pores - keeps you well ventilated at speeds above 30kmph.
5. 3M reflective strips in front and back.
6. Differnet Colour swatches in the front, to match with your bike.
7. Arm/Elbow adjustors for armor
8. External 2 waterproof pockets
9. Internal 1 large waterproof pocket
10. Internal Keychain holder(for your bike's key)
11. Internal transparent pocket to store your personal info(Blood group/name etc)
12. YKK zipper
13. Backpocket with Reissa material raincoat which can be worn over your jacket(translucent material, so 3M reflective stripes are visible)
14. Interior Back of jacket has a zipper to fix it to your riding pants
15. Detacheable internal thermal

Cons-
1. Zipper lock is a bit tight, need to give 3-4 yanks to make it zip up
2. Need to be in good shape to fit into this jacket
3. Exterior pockets are just ok depth
4. Navel length jacket, wish it was a bit longer, would avoid water going into jeans then.
5. One more internal/external deep pocket would be a boon(okay now I'm getting a bit greedy).
6. Front/chest armor is not present. Willing to pay 2-3k more to get it.
7. Onoly available from their outlet/online. Wish they had more distributors. They told me that the margins for this product is very less, so distributors dont want to stock it.

Verdict - Tried the Rynox Tornado Pro, Spartan Helios, DSG Nero and this one. TBG ADVBreed easily trumps all other jackets in this price range. Spend that extra bit and get this jacket, You wont regret it. 5 stars.



2. TBG Street Gloves - Rs 3450/- FB Link

Semi gauntlet rain proof gloves with Knox SPS and carbon fibre knuckle protectors.

Pros/Features-
1. Knox Scapehoid Protectors - Protects scapehoid from injuries since in an accident the rider would most likely fall headfirst and use their palms to break the fall.
2. Carbon Fibre Knuckle protectors.(NOT carbon fibre coating) - This is incredibly light and strong
3. Full leather construction, with protectors for all fingers and joints
4. Pinky finger extra protection/padding
5. Extra padding in most impact areas
6. Helmet visor cleaner
7. Mobile phone touch screen sensitive finger pads to operate your phones
8. Good ventilation under knuckles
9. EXTERNAL stiching to remove aggravations to hands

Cons-
1. The vison wiper internal isnt stiched in the best way, shouldve had an extra material covering it from isnide the glove. Right now it bites my hand everytime.. Hopefully it will go away. Note - I raised this concern to Lets Gear UP and they made me try a size larger too(didnt fix the issue). Tried a different glove, seems like a slightly better fit, still the problem isnt solved entirely.

Edit - After wearing it for about 100kms the gloves have broken in very well and are super comfy now. No bite marks and discomfort. Love these gloves now

2. Is a bit pricey, yet good quality.
3. Touch pad doesnt work with my screen, works with my friend's . Maybe it is my phone's issue.

Verdict - Tried the DSG Primal gloves, Spartan pegasus, Cramster Blaster. This one truly is the best in terms of features and protection. Though most expensive too.




Sorry for the low quality photos.


Here's a parting shot.
