Universal : Riding Gear Thread

[Shreeni0403]

Cramster (Bangalore) doesn't have stock of most of riding gears. Also wanted size is not available as they are running out of stock.

Since last month am trying, they said new stocks will come by 10th September but its already 23rd Every time i call, i get reply as next weekend

I am thinking to buy the K2K from Cramster. Any suggestions guys??

I ve a 6k budget and within that i need a jacket which is 100% water proof.

If any other jacket available in that price range then plz do let me know with the link for the same.

My friend bought the K2K recently. He was complaining that it was not 100% waterproof. I do not know about the other Cramster stuff. I use the DSG Nero which is the most waterproof of DSG's jackets. Havent ridden it in the pouring rain yet but in drizzles and light rains it keeps the water out.

Thanks for the reply.

What about Pulse ? Is it 100% waterproof ?

I have the Pulse and I can tell you that it is fairly waterproof. No jacket can be as waterproof as a plastic bag. A few trickles here and there will happen no matter which jacket you use. That's y you have jackets/pants like Duckback which are seam sealed and can prevent water in any form from getting in.

The little leakage u see is because the material is cordura which prevents water droplets but cannot prevent moisture passing through. In heavy rain, moisture tends to get collected along with the water, and although the water is resisted, the moisture eventually seeps in no matter how hard u try to keep it out.

Just my 2 cents.

A website is like a brochure. Doesn't give out the real facts, ever. Its just a marketing tool.

May be a stupid thought..!!

What if i buy the upper body armor and wear Duckback jacket on it.

I see that upper body armor provides more protection than any riding jacket.
So what are the pros and cons buying that.!!

I am using the Cramster Pulse riding jacket myself day in and day out, whenever I ride. It is a wonderful jacket, really, albeit a little too hot for Delhi weather. But, I am surely not complaining.

I need some cheap gloves for touring. Saw the R15 branded gloves at Yamaha showrooms and they seem to have the right amount of padding and knuckle protection. Costs around 1400 & 1900/-, there are two types actually. Any suggestions?

Called up Cramster. New stock will be arriving this weekend it seems (hopefully )

But before that expecting comments on my previous question..!!!
