    Other brands to check tbg, solace. Not sure about availablity of tbg street but they are good. In solace check race pro.

          I would recommend​ tbg sport gloves if you can increase your budget slightly those are best one even comparable to a* and dianese.

            Good timing I was researching on it too. Seems like awesome glove but lil out of budget. Il check them out at the store. Will let you know. My friend driftjockey owns it, had 3 crashes and still going strong.
            May the sun rise infront of me,
            the rain fall behind me and the wind follow me.
            May the angels guard my travels for they know what's ahead of me.
            Keep me safe through rolling hills, swirling turns and bad roads.
            Let the moon's light guide me through the night.
            Lord, thank you for letting me a Biker.
            Amen.

              The sport glove has one problem. In long rides where you do not move the throttle much, the palm padding of this gloves digs into your hand. That is painful. So keep that in mind. I use this gloves but somehow don't prefer it if the ride is anything more than 250 km around.
              Cheerio!
              Ride safe \m/

                Ouch! I keep my throttle steady when going long. My intentions are to do more km's. The only reason this drew my attention was due to drum dyed cowhide compared to the apex Evo. Could you be more specific on how it has been doing and the problems you have faced?
                Thank you.

                  See the blisters that's due to the gloves padding. The gloves fit me proper.
                  Now say you are on a 500 km one way trip and have completed 200km . Your next stop is after 100 km and you maintain average 90km/hr i.e. 70% throttle travel. The palm padding will start digging into your palm @ 50-55km distance and then the agony keeps increasing with distance leading to numb hands at times. But only if the distance is more than 250 km. Shorter rides you won't feel anything. Btw the above is only true for the throttle hand. Hope that helps

                    thank you for the help. i did try aspida ares, rynox apex evo and tbg sport. i will be picking up the tbg when it is payday! "mayday mayday, Red Alert! my bank is empty"
                    UPDATE: i bought the rynox advento pants from Purple gear today. super awesome it is. comes with knox protectors in hip,knee and shin. the kneeslap mechanism is pretty kickass. it comes with thermal liner and is provided with an external rain liner(rainpants). It has aeroflip-better ventilation.

                      How did you figure out that the leather in TBG is drum dyed while Apex is not ?

                        well been researching on it for a while and that is what i found. its also mentioned in their sites. only con tbg has it doesn't have the pinky bridge support as compared to rynox.

                            Yeah the lack of the pinky bridge is even more disappointing once you see that the semi gauntlet version Street seems to have it.

                                Try the Open Road store in Viman Nagar. It's in the same complex as Phoenix mall. I haven't personally bought anything from them yet but I have heard good things from friends who bought stuff from them.
