Universal : Riding Gear Thread

[neil.jericho]

Let me check this week end.. Any suggestion on comfort levels..

With regard to comfort level you will have to try them out yourself and see. Personally I find the TRG2 much more comfortable than DSG's semi / full gauntlet options. It could be the opposite for somebody else.

Got My self an SS Twist of Fate Mesh jacket

Spent time in the site for some time.I couldn't resist my self.
I was planning for DSG Nero and was saving up for that .
But after seeing this at this much low rate(that too limited period offer) and reading the smokeranddoper's review on this my mind was hoked to the jacket .
But i dont know any one who is having a US credit card and second problem i dont have any friends there who may travel to India soon (except one who already have a big load of items to bring ) .
Tried to concentrate on the work but my mind was still on the jacket and after each 10 minute work i was googling "SS Twist of Fate Mesh jacket review" .
Called up few friends to see if some one they know is coming to India . No positive response .
I realized that its not going to happen .
At last i walked in to the project managers cubicle and said
"I want to buy a jacket form a US site , I dont have any US credit card
and neither do i know any friends who can bring it to India also i dont have an address in US to where I can ship this .Can you help me ? "
He was surprised to hear what i am telling and it took some to digest the things . Then he said "Sure man " . He paid for me using his US credit card
called a manger there in US and got his address and he ordered it for me .
Then with the help of him and a teammate we figured out that one person there is traveling to India next week so he asked him to bring it to India .
He said ok AND my jacket is now on the way

Expecting to get it next around Dec 5-6 here in Chennai .
I ordered 'L' size and hope it will be perfect for me ..
Once I get it I will be using it for my Xmas/New year ride and after that i will post a review .

^^ you don't require a US credit card as well as you can ship it directly over here ,but I like your approach

I knew both the things but for both i have to pay extra bugs which will dilute the sweetness of the deal .. I don't want that

Let me check this week end.. Any suggestion on comfort levels..

the thumb rule is to try them on and what you feel as the most comfortable take it. i have a cramster twister gloves cost me Rs 1500/. reasonably good buy for the price.

[yuv_biKING]

Yuvaraj, can you post some links pls? I tried Cycle Gear - Motorcycle Apparel, Parts and Accessories, but their prices are not like the best ones & hence the request. Tks.

Did a hard search...no better deals for this Black Friday...

Congratulations brother ... good to see speed and strength's number of users increasing in India.
its a very good jacket .... textile twist of fate is not on sale now btw !
and mesh's price are even more down now ... it was $59.9 when i ordered.

and if you are ordering on motorcycle superstore then you need to have a US credit card with an address. As they deliver within USA itself ... they dont ship it to other countries.
and if in case you dont have a US based credit card ... you can use pay as pal option for transferring money.
i loved your approach btw.... desperation to get something causes this

Hang em doesnt have 100 % water proof inner liner thats why i didnt go for that ..
In my knowledge you can buy from that with Indian credit card and ship to india using ICCWorld.com but i am sure about the charges involved.

The review is on the page 350

I have never used DSG Nero or cramster personally but from the information i got from freinds/reviews SS protectors is having better quality than Indian jackets.

@smoker n doper

i have not used a DSG or a Cramster but i have tried a DSG Nero and my Speed and Strength jacket is way sturdier than a DSG... the elbow and shoulder protectors are very sturdy (CE Approved) better than DSG/Cramster... cant comment on Scoyco because ive never seen that jacket in flesh till yet. Back protector is okayish but you get that kind of protector with every jacket right ? the armours never gets loose as in they remain intact (there is a belt to adjust it) ... mine is a textile version ... there are 6 vents with a cool pocket for music player on the chest area.
All in all .... you can NEVER get a jacket so good at such prices in India.

I am also thinking of getting Hang 'em.. But same case niether have a US CC nor any friend coming @ this time of year...

Only Hang 'em high is available now .... i guess motorcyle superstore doesnt stock twist of fate Textile version.

Really?

Yes.... you can use pay as pal option .... and there are websites which deliver stuff to other countries as well .... surf surf surf .... and you will know within few hours

Hey did you post a review about your jacket? On which page?

Yes ... i dont remember the page ... try searching few pages back.

@ALL :

The jacket looks like this : and that is not my tummy i kept something inside the jacket


Attaching some pictures of the armours.... have a look. Hope these pictures clear some doubts

Why dont you guys start a GO and order from ICCworld in bulk? Might turn out to be cheaper. Just make sure to ask them to pack the carton well. They dont put thermocol or foam inside their cartons. And now they ask for shipping at actuals after your package arrives at their Mumbai office.
I bought a 5.5k AFX Helmet for my sister through them. Should have known better. The helmet is XS size but since AFX's shell size is a universal one it's enormous. So she looked like an alien wearing it. She hates it. Now I am left with a bloody good helmet lying around gathering dust.
