    i think i got to wait till i go to banglore.. coz i checked out at Dollars & Pounds today and that place sucks.. they had only 3 pairs of gloves tat too very old... the reason i dont want to order online is coz im not sure abt my size.. so hav to go in person and get them...

    • Today I was browsing through a shop that had a lot of jackets and I saw something that caught my eye. I have one that looks EXACTLY the same, and I had bought that in India.

      Make a guess.... the jacket that I saw is the tourmaster Air Intake 2 series.

      Here's the web url

      Tour Master :: Textile Jackets :: Intake Air Series 2 Jacket

      Reminds me of my Indian brand.

        • Hey Guys I am plannig to buy a pair of gloves. Can u assist me determining the correct size fit for my hands.

          I live in Hydrebad and I couldnt find any retail store. So I have no other option but to go for a Online Store. It will be better if you help me find a retail store in hyderabad or else just let me know how to choose a correct size.

            Use the size chart on this page:

            There is a store called Adventure On the Rocks, there is a thread on it. You will not get Cramster/DSG products but there are others like ProBiker etc.
            There are diversified opinions regarding his products though. Go there once&have a look!

                    why dont you call the cramster and DSG people up and ask them about it? they are the best person to give you the reply. if they agree ask them to give it in writing to be on the safer side.

                      Correct! I couldn't believe I paid Rs.5000 for a duplicate! Maybe I can call it "rebranded"! Lol! whatever that means....... Except for the label, everything, I mean EVERYTHING is exactly the same.

                        • Need advice on the below boots. saw one in bangy for 5.8k. Could anyone pour some inputs on this compared to the cramster boot.

                          TSO Boots

                          The Leather was so thick and I hope it will withstand atleast 2/3 crashes compared to the cramster.

                            if what you are getting is the real stuff then there is no comparison at all.i have the full length boot from cramster. the inner liner is very poor in quality.it cameout within 2 months of limited useage.now it has big holes near the heel portion. the leather is ok, but the toe shifter guard will give way pretty soon. the velcro is horrible in quality,will come off soon. iam totally dissatisfied with my cramster boots. they have non replaceable toe plastic protectors which though look flimsy but protect my toe when i had a fall at 35kmph speed.shin protector and torsion cap on my cramster boot is nothing but joke. though i have heard that the short boot from cramster is good but the full length is waste of money. better save some money and buy a good boot. BTW the TSO boot looks better than the cramster but my advice would be to do a personal check as well to be doubly sure. and 5.8k is not a bad price for this boot , considering that cramster retails for close to 5k. if you can get it for 5-5.2k nothing like it.
