    Congrats on booking the Interceptor. Don't even think about a leather jacket, they are not suitable for our country as it will get really hot and uncomfortable. Look at mesh jackets.

      How can you own an INT and not feel like walking around in a leather jacket!?! I will 100% buy a leather jacket next winter You have to complete the interceptor aesthetic.

        As a Continental GT owner i feel you as i also wanted did do the same thing but leather jackets are not cheap and I definitely wouldn't buy one just for the winter, so i settled for the RE Urban Scout which looks like a casual jacket but has Elbow, Shoulder and Back protector Level 1 though you can upgrade to to Level 2.

          How is the Royal Enfield Pushkar Jacket? The urban scout seems to be out o stock and Pushkar has a nice discount going on it. It still has reflectors and all but still looks decent enough

            Pushkar is a summer jacket without any liners , you can buy all wether with different liners in other brands and with little more money Better guards too.
            Mototorque has level 2 in reasonable price, Snaefell performance racing is also reasonable, then scala, rynox, solace etc etc.
            Mesh jacket with different liners.

                  The scout jacket is available on Amazon if you want it, it's a fully mesh jacket with no wind and cold protection, i own it and regret buying it even at 20% discount.
                  The best jacket in budget is rynox air gt3 jacket, it has winter and rain liner and has level 2 protection. Costs 6300₹
                  Peace

                    Hi, thanks for the heads up. Is there no jacket with minimal livery on it? I understand motorcycle jackets benefit largely from the high visibility provided by bright colors but still having such a colorful jacket spoils the look. RE has some decent jackets but the general opinion seems to be that they are overpriced.

                    Any other slightly low profile options from brands such as rynox etc?

                          You may check out some jackets from rev-it. I have seen some with minimal graphics.
                          For a classy look that matches with interceptor I agree leather jacket is they way to go. But Indian weather doesn't make it easy. Good for early morning rides but as the sun reaches highest point it gets hot.
                          I think, sadly, there aren't many options available in mesh/textile jackets that look classy and not sporty.
                          I have been searching for a light weight jacket which has minimal or no graphics which would provide enough protection in city conditions (certified pads not needed) but haven't found any.. almost all the jackets are heavy and flashy. My requirement is to be able to wear that jacket casually and not attract attention too.

                            Revit is Good but mesh ones doesn't have rain and thermal liners and no back protector in many models , need buy that separately.

                              I own the Rev'it Eclipse jacket and it is amazing. I had the same requirements as yours and this one ticks the right boxes. It is lightweight and discreet and has just the right amount of style to look like an everyday jacket you dont need to take off when you're off your bike. The obvious trade off is that it is not an all weather jacket.

                              I did a road trip to Mukteshwar this weekend and it was freezing cold. I layered up my jacket with few wind and winter protective liners I picked up from decathlon. Problem solved
