When you bend your elbow, it gets a little tighter, but when your elbow is straight it shouldnt be lose either. It should be a perfect fit when your elbow is slightly bent and not too lose when the elbow is straight

By the way what is the best jacket for city/summer riding under 5k-6k ? Good protection and comfort are priority.

try dsg maze or the cramster's breezer 4.0....

have been using the maze from over 8 months now.... it included riding in city and even now when the temperatures are above 45 you dont feel sweaty if you are moving at speeds above 30kmph.....

cramster's breezer is an all weather jacket with two liners one for rains and one for winters on the other hand dsg maze comes with only wool liner and no rain plus its priced a bit lower than the maze...

there are some reviews about the cramster's knee guards in the previous page and the reviews arent that good...

have heard some good things about the fox guards though....

In my opinion forget cramster knee guards!!! they are not good!! i used a cramster knee guard only for two trips and the side screws in the knee guards are gone!! they are of very low quality!! now i dunno what to do with that crap!!

crap? crapster or cramster ?

there has been a discussion here before about this...i myself have used those knee guards before...later fox and currently axo...axo being the best...

Guys.

Please tell me how are the Cortech jakets? planning to buy either RCX or GX Sports 2 (not the leather shoulder/arms). Links are below:
RCX: Cortech Rcx Jacket - RidersDiscount.com
GX Sports2: Cortech GX Sport Series 2 Jacket - Street Bike - Motorcycle Superstore

Also, can someone please tell me where does Cortech stands when compared to Fieldsheer and Rjays Octane....in terms of fitting, quality, and armor quality.

Thanks!!!

i suggest the Cortech GX Sport Series 2 Jacket - Street Bike - Motorcycle Superstore is the preferred one....
The reason why iam saying this----
1) check the additional padding given for elbows and shoulders....You do have that CE protector inside but on the outside you have extra padding which the other does not have.
2) The one selected looks more comofortable and sporty!!!
3)Cost wise its too close but frankly the protection and padding is top notch.
4) The properties and making of jacket are far better than the other one....The first one has all over 600denier...and the one iam mentioning is 600 denier but has 1680 Denier ballistic power elbow which adds up the protection.
These are my parameters for judging the jacket hope it might help you too!!!!

Fieldsheer ho ya Astar....if its made of parachute material it wont last long....all i want to say is dont go for the brand name.....but go for the ingredients of the garment....for eg- if you buy a Astar low protection jacket for 100$ and crash you might even die....but if you buy a good jacket wid high end properties for 70$ you might be saved....cost and brands are out the ingredient matters a lot.....hope you get what iam saying....All brands are perfect...they offer various types of protection....all of them offered are based on the type of material used for creating them....so do look for the materials used!
In this case i find the one selected to be apt!!!
Goodluck mate!

I've been using this for over a year and love these gloves. You wont be disappointed.

Only grouse is that the velcro on the wrist strap becomes weak and will refuse to stick after a few months. I got an aftermarket () velcro strip stitched on to the straps from a nearby bag repair shop.

Anyone here used the RJAYS Jetstream 2 ? Any opinions on this jacket and worth the extra money compared to the swift or Octane.
