    Are knee guards good alternative for riding pants? pardon my ignorance as i have never owned a riding pant before.
    Have been using rynox airtech pants.perfect for city use with huge mesh patches in front for ventilation.knox Armor(level 2 i guess) for knee.external rain liner.waterproof pocket.and knee armour is with a lot of adjustability due to velcro (can't remember the fancy name given by the company).have been going strong for some time without any issues.got it for 6500.
    Knee guards are not an alternative for riding pants, ever.the guards may shift if external.internal ones will be a pain to wear and the guards offer zero abrasion resistance to parts other than knee.

    Check Rynox Stealth evo or Solace Furious. Both are better than the options you are looking at.

    Goodluck.

    I use the Solace Passion city gloves. As the name suggests, it's not primarily meant for Touring, but I have been using it for past 1 year and it's fantastic. Fits in your budget.

    Depends on your usage. If the pants have mesh only on thighs, all good.
    There is always a compromise between protection and comfort, else we all would be wearing iron man suits.

    CE level 2 is what I would see. Goodluck.

    Hey. Anyone here use the Rynoc Recon gloves? I have the Aspida Centaur, looking for a glove that'd be usable in the rain, so not thinking about shelling out too much. I like the looks of the recon, and rynox in general,but does the product deliver ?

    I bought MT Muggello in Aug 2018 from Wroom store was going to buy Twister, Sachin suggested this.Good suggestion by him, cause later some of my friends who bought Twister are now complaining about chin strap getting loose after few months.
    Now my MT Muggello's clear visor as well as external shell have developed few scratches. Was going to buy Pinlock(₹1750, turns out its bigger than twister's pinlock 30) , Silver/Mirror finish visor(₹1100) & clear (₹1000)visor & breath deflector (₹200) total cost ₹4050
    Now after one year of usage i suspect cheek padding has lost its power.It deflects by 1 inch sideways when head is shook aggressively. If additional cheek padding(₹1650) is purchased total goes to (₹5700).Instead I was thinking of buying new helmet with pinlock(Max Vision pinlock 70)& silver/mirror visor.

    Please suggest should I change liner & visors or buy new helmet, if new then which one?
    Requirements:
    Daily 20 kms on weekdays
    70-200 kms on weekends
    Touring once in 3 months
    Good quality inner liner
    Availability of spares
    Not expensive accessories
    Speaker pockets
    Mirrored Visor
    Max vison Pinlock 70
    Double D ring


    Shortlisted
    SHIRO SH821 & 881
    MT Thunder SV

    Please suggest a proper one for me.

    Knee guards are not an alternative. Check Rynox Storm and Solace Tourjet. Both are under 7k and very good pants.

    You can also check Rynox Airtex pants under 7k.

    All have good ventilation. Safety wise, Tourjet gets Level 2 protectors. Ventilation wise, Storm pants are very good.

    Glad my advice helped. Ride safe.
