  • Leathers

    Guys - Need help in buying leathers, not too costly stuff but a decent one I have the below mentioned which can be readily used on track

    Riding Boots - RJays Edge
    Gloves - Alpinestars GP+
    Helmet - Vega Boolean (Not sure if the same can be used in the track)

    Other items are more for touring (Mesh / textile Jacket / Pants / Knee Guards)

    Pls suggest

        Id really recommend you to get at least a CROSS/LS2 instead of the VEGA.

              Gloves - DSG Revive (costs 1900 bucks and worth every paisa).

                    • Help me choose my riding gear.

                      I am new to xbhp and decided to get myself a riding gear. As my friend i scoming back from US this month I will be buying them online.
                      Here are some of the jackets that I have finalized
                      Scorpion Holeshot Jacket - Street Bike - Motorcycle Superstore
                      Fieldsheer Corsair Jacket - Street Bike - Motorcycle Superstore
                      I am leaning towards the Fieldsheer corsair as I read good reviews about this. But compared to scorpion holeshot (70$)it is 40$ more expensive. Is it worth it?

                      Shift Racing Enforcer Knee/Shin Guards - Dirt Bike Motocross - Motorcycle Superstore
                      Gloves:
                      Fieldsheer Apex Gloves - Street Bike - Motorcycle Superstore

                      • ^^you and rohit seem to have exactly the same choices...and yeah good choices !
                        A very good and safe biker not only because he can pop up either of the wheels,scrape his knees on a corner or go fast and make it look stylish but because he very well knows his limits and capabilities and has the patience to learn about others and ride safe ! :)

                          Something is different about fieldsheer in terms of quality and getting gloves for $25 (actually $70) is actually a steal...

                          @Donnie: I m using Scorpion Holeshot (pics above) and I quite liked it. The fabric looks good and even the quality of inner liner is perfect.

                          BTW, the size runs exactly with the sizing chart of Scorpion
