Universal : Riding Gear Thread

Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

Anyone using Rynox Tornado Pro 3 or Urban X gloves? I'll be basically using these for commute and I travel for work - on an avg day I cover nearly 35-40 kms.

I am considering these as they have that Knox SPS palm protection. Which I'm thinking is better than those foam padding in other gloves.

Any thoughts?


Also, as per their size chart, my hand comes to 8.5 inches so L size. But my hand is wider and finger length is normal but girth is on the higher side (I've had many size issues with rings, lol). So can someone comment on this too.

Using a rynox tornado pro 3 gloves for past few weeks.
My palm size is 22 cm and I ought to choose medium size according to the company website.However, I have been using size small and it fits perfectly. No overhangs on fingertips or extra folds in closed palms.The glove fits like a glove[emoji2].
My finger girth is not too wide.My index finger size is 7.5 cm.However,it doesn't have a lot of extra space inside the finger slots of the glove.Maybe because its a smaller size,or maybe the build is like that.
Rynox gears does provide returns,though not as easy as Amazon or flipkart.I would say go with L and exchange if too tight.

Hello!

Bought the UrbanX around 3 months ago and have worn it for about 1500kms on highways, and off roads. Didn't use it much on daily city commutes but they blend well for now. Managed to get them soaked up in unexpected rains and an air dry coupled with some leather conditioning will go a long way in maintaining these.

The semi gauntlet design with the safety of Knox is unmatched and I'll purchase these again on any given day. The viaterra Holeshot is in a similar price bracket but it's got its own loyal base I believe. I didn't like it in terms of fit.

Make sure you check out these gloves in person and not rely on online purchases. It's not enough if you measure the palm width to decide your fit. Try the gloves on and you'll end up making the best purchase.

Cheers!

Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

I have come across a number of videos on YouTube from social media influencers on RE Levi's Denim riding gear. Would like to know if anyone from our forum owns these gears and real life reviews of the same. In my opinion the pricing is quite stiff but I am not sure of the actual quality as I have not seen these in person...

Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

I use the furious 2018 version and the ventilation is great! Have used then in summers and the ventilation is a life saver. And yes, you can use the reflective strip on top of it.

The only thing I would change in my jacket is that the ventilation panel needs to be rolled down and then tucked into to keep it from opening up again - which it does during rides. But I think they have now fixed it with additional velcros, so it should be fine

thanks for your feedback @Astrix and [MENTION=106745]Chakrapani[/MENTION], i did check with motocentral, they too are out of stock. Have mailed rynox and yet to get reply. I got to know from a known source that the stock maybe available from mid November or beginning of December. Will keep you posted.

cheers!

Thanks for your feedback [MENTION=56169]MidnightEvil Parth[/MENTION] . I would like to know from you how the furious jacket performs in a sunny day considering the weather in chennai. Do the ventilations actually help? and can the reflective strip used even when the ventilation panels are opened?

Cheers!

Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

All the products that you have listed here are good. Using Rynox for almost 3-4 years now. I can vouch for their quality and the performance of the product.

Availability with Rynox is always a problem it seems, they quite run out of stock soon.

Try connecting with them on Email or Instagram to figure out the stock availability.

Hope this helps.

All three rynox products that you have listed above are being used by me. I can swear by their performance and protection afforded. Go for Rynox and you won't regret it. With regard to availability, do drop a mail to the company for updates on availability.

Talk to Motocentral at Pune. They generally have stock. If the item is not available in stock I recommend wait it out till it is available.

All the research is good and you frankly won't go wrong with any of these products. Goodluck.

I have been using Rynox air gt though, but a few friends are using storm and it works well.

I have a furious too, and coolpro pants. Strong since 3 years. A few friends are using stealth evo, doing good for them.

Basically, just buy whatever suits you the best. You won't regret. Nice research done though, most guys don't get to that part.

Also, there are no better things in those prices.

Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

Any specific reason for avoiding Orazzo? They are available at a pretty good price point and I am looking at getting one.

The waterproofing on them is not that great. Read it on this thread a few months ago

Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

Can anyone please tell me winter gloves thar are in range of 3 to 4k?
I am considering shima or Royal enfield ones.

Shima is a good brand. Have personally not used any of their products but have heard good about the brand.

Only do check the manufacturing date before buying (if possible buy after trying at a store). Here, itself a fellow xbhpian in some of the earlier posts had mentioned about him getting the product with an old manufacturing/import date. But not that he mentioned of any problem as such.

Hope this helps.

Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

I agree that "waterproof" is a marketing tactic in the Indian segment but you would atleast expect something marketed as Waterproof to be atleast water resistant. This jacket can not even withstand a light drizzle. Other than that, the stitching did come off in a few places, but that could be due to regular use.

I stay in Mangalore and it rains like for most of the year. Therefore the waterproof element of the pant is of utmost importance to me. How's Aspida Odysseus?

You can check out the Rynox pants.
Stay away from BBG.

What problem did you face with the Solace jackets ? Only the water seeping in ? But that is quite common across brands I feel. No layer is actually water‘proof’. But other than that nothing right ?
