              I am sorry, i dont have pics. But you can find it on net. It is not a jacket, but a 1 piece suit. It is not water proof either. An oven, yes it will feel like it is on a hot day and 0 kmph.

                  • Thanks guys!
                    @Xenologik, you have Axo Primato boot, right? I dont see them on planet DSG anymore. Only boots their site shows are alpinestars. I need to buy riding boots, and i want a pair that costs me less than 13k. Is it still possible to get a primato, or is there any other nice boots that cost less than 13k?

                    • Guys, I wanna go in for one of these.


                      Would it be worth it after all the shipping and duties?
                      Darn, who am I kidding. Safety gear is always worth it. But, just that its pretty pricey.
                      Heck, a 5$ KBC Helmet-LED-addon goes upto 31$ with shipping charges not to mention the import duties that will be levied on it after they come here.


                      The A-Stars SMX-R is Rs.16,694.00/- including shipping from DSG; while,
                      the SIDI Vertigo Air from Newenough would cost me anywhere between Rs.16-18,000.00/- depending on the dollar rate and inclusive of the USPS charges. But not inclusive of local taxes and duties.

                              • ^ how much would that be exactly inc transport in INR?
                                checking the site it has backprotection but does it have elbow/shoulder protectors as well?

                                btw... Congrats !
