Even if the gloves tear during a crash, it would have done its job as long as
the body part was not injured. Most protective equipment should not be used even after one crash. But yes, if the glove is tearing during everyday use, that is something of concern.

Agree with you Rahul here. He has been using these Pro-Biker gloves for just 2-3 months and the dotted palm part have shown signs of tear.
I haven't seen him crashing but the elbow guards (right one) was not able to protect that much which resulted in some bruises... It came to me that the elbow guard's snap was loose which resulted in this..
A minor thing and he paid for that

the available choices are only dsg and cramster and i think choosing the right jacket is pretty important coz you re going to invest a lot of money in it and im in the same confusion about which one to choose dsg nero or cramster raptor or pulse and dont want to regret after buying them so checking with a lot of people before investing in them...

hello

Has anyone tried dsg falcon jackets, how are they in hot humid climate or heavy rains?

I am planning to buy one so thought of asking a opinion from dsg falcon owners?

If you ask me, the best way for waterproof protection - buy a bionic protection jacket/vest(moto cross type) which will have more (and better ) armor than a standard armoured riding jacket, and then wear a regular waterproof light jacket over it. In regular jackets, the armor tends to move around a lot, making it less effective.

And yes, if the palms of the gloves are giving way in a 2-3 months of usage, then the quality is indeed sub-standard.

Its good to see that cramster is checking out consumers grievance. However, your input is really needed on this thread Bad experience with Cramster. - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

I agree.My friend and me bought Cramster MX3 gloves.I bought em 6 months back and he did abt 4 months back.Mine are completely torn.He has holes here and there.No more cramster for me EVER.

Dear anants_220,

Please send us the pictures of the gloves. We have not received a single complaint on the new Mx3 since we redesigned it based on customer and expert riders' feedback. If we think a replacement or a refund is warranted, it will be done.

what you said is something i had considered. suppose i am wearing a protection vest inside my water proof jacket and i stop by a restaraunt to eat. when i take off my jacket every one will be looking at me with surprise. taking off and putting on such armour wear is going to be difficult. even if i take it off where will i keep it. besides i may have two separate jackets to worry about now.

what do you guys say about the torso jacket shown in the above link. opinions please.

@cramster

Shall do so tonight.My friend's gloves are in worse condition.Mine tore from the palm area which i could blame on sub standard leather.But his has holes at 2-3 places
And as i had recommended them to him,i got the flak.

[bikerfas]

guys any help on my query??

@ Calibre - To my knowledge Dollars&Pounds in madhyakailash(adyar) has riding gears. you could find some fake A* Jakcets and gloves. aprt from that you can check for some mesh riding gloves in Rainbow Helmet shop(opp thousand lights mosque).

the only other option is to order the riding gears from planetDSG or Cramster. you should get within couple of days from order.

[mario@veda]

hi are there any new designs coming up on the cramster raptop or the pulse ???

[Makky]

@Chennai xBhpians and Track day freaks,
