    So by buying leathers, I went for protection and safety over everything else. I do my touring mostly between November to February, so leathers suit me well. And I bought a jacket/pant with mesh panels sewn into leathers, so it keeps me ventilated as long as I am moving at around 40-50 kmph.

    And I love Dainese, though their prices makes Astars rates look like a closeout deal!
    Hmm yeah ofcourse leather have maximum protection....but i somehow dont think i could wear them over here in summers But good u just tour during winters

    Yeah they are expensive but very stylish and very nice quality.

    A little over $1,000. I bought the jacket and pant separately after a gap of two months since I could not afford that sum in one go...

    Anyways just wanted to for my knowledge, right now its winters so that leather suit seems quite fine...just wanted to ask why didnt u go in for the synthetice ones ? Wont the leather roast you during summers ? Bcoz i bought the mesh ones and they work fine in summers too....but leather was something i thought was not made for Indian climate...but im sure u must have thought on it and bought it.

    BTW i am a Dainese fanboy have bought Dainese for myself And Sidi Shoes is a very good choice...Arai i dont have to comment anything
    You should do that stretch sometimes - great roads, and it is awesome fun!

    I know, it is rare to see people wearing full gear with their bikes... In Bangalore, 7/10 guys I have seen on SBK's wear chappals and an El Cheapo helmet, what a shame.
