Universal : Riding Gear Thread

[kartikpai]

Can anyone please guide me to some links from where I can decide my online order. And what may be the difference in cost if I order online and buy it up here. I am planning to get an alpine star bionic knee guard that is costing some 5k here in pune.

HI All,

I need gloves with decent protection and especially for winters (the one's which i have are not at all suitable for winter riding.)

So, i will be greatful if anyone can suggest anything till 2k in Delhi.

You could try the TRG2 gloves from Cramster if you're willing to stretch your budget just a little to Rs 2300.. Adventure 18 in satya niketan stock these.. Both fit and protection are pretty good and its an all-leather construction.

Good News !!

Please refer the post below ....Year end sale at A H HELMET, Mumbai !

Hemanth bhai from A H helmets has asked me to inform all the Mumbai xBhpians that he has arranged for a year ending SALE between 25-31st Dec 2010 at his shop. He'll be selling Helmets, Knee guards and Gloves at highly discounted rates during that period. Around 30 new designs of LS2 helmets are expected by that time. He has also got good Scoy-co gears(knee guards and gloves), Original AGV helmets and lot of other stuff including bi-xenon projectors. So those planning to buy new stuff plan it accordingly or contact him.

I have 2 queries:
1) I haven't read a lot about scoyo jackets, but are they good? Do they have the same protection as the DSG jackets? I know that they are a little cheaper but are they worth it?(Could some one put up pics for it or give me a link to the website?)
2) I need a good pair of kneed pads around 1000 or 2000 rs. max... Any reviews on good knee guards?

I specifically asked about scoyo jackets since there is a sale at AH helmets and I was planning to get a DSG jacket but if scoyo jackets give the same amount of protection then I would love to get one of those...

Thanks for the link rony... But I have a few questions about the jacket..... Is it water resistant? and does it have a waterproof pocket to keep mobile phones? Some DSG jackets do....

I know its you who's putting the money, so its your choice whatever you buy. But, just as a question. Why did you buy Fox body armor when you bought the Alpinestar Jacket?

Can use the Fox for the summer, and will wear it under the jacket during winters. The pads are made of foam and did not feel very safe to me, whereas the Fox ones are good quality plastic.

Is that a real AS jacket?

I ordered the Speed & Strength Twist of Fate mesh jacket from motorcycle superstore through ICC world. Got it in 10 days flat!!! Was selling for $59.99 in the close-out sale, and ICC world charged a total of Rs 4715 for purchasing it from the site in US and sending to to my doorstep in Gurgaon..not a bad deal at all for a jacket that originally costs $220!!! will post pics..
