re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread
Personally if you ask me, I'd suggest not to go for teh Triton and the K2K unless you want to use the jacket for really cold temperate conditions that's one. These jackets are often longer at the waist region which in turn leads to being a tad heavy than most other jackets out there. Triton is really useless for summer conditions.
Coming to your other question, all proper riding jacket are made up of mesh and leather respectively. Yes after a really long rain drenched up ride in rain, and when the climate all of a sudden changes the perspiration can cause odor in almost all jackets, be it mesh or leather to an extent.
Leather needs to be given special care as opposed to textile stuffs. All these cordura stuffs can be dried in an hour or so, but leather needs dry shade (even longer hours) and proper nourishment for it to last long (leather conditioners). Maze is a good jacket with shoulder leather protection, and that's about it.
The Cramster Eclipse is an excellent VFM stuff comibined with good leather which runs all the way through the sleeve and with added liners for different climates and so does Breezer which has different liners, but a pure textile stuff.
Conclusion. If you want to go for a jacket and real urgent for it, look no further than the Cramster Breezer, or if you up your budget go for Cramster Eclipse best VFM for the stuff it has in it. Thirdly no jackets can protect you for hip protection. Hip protection comes under pants and hip is kind of "controversial" area. Too much padding and you restrict movement, too less and there's practically nothing. But yourself a good riding pant which has hip protection pads in them, for the exact reason.

Hello, all!
Had a crash this last weekend. Helmet saved my ass. Also DSG Revive I was wearing ensured my palms were scarless and less painful. I wasn't wearing a proper armored jacket, resulting in muscles ache for a good 2 days[no broken bones]. All this while in anticipation that SPG would soon open a store here, I postponed the buy. Now after this crash, simply no taking chances. I have decided to start hunting DSG/Cramster now as they are available in the city.
Jackets selected are Breezer 4.0 and Nero. Ready to spend those 500 extra only if Triton/K2k offer better fit. My arms are long, you can say a lill dispropotionate to my upper half of my body. Since the mentioned jackets are longer, will look into them too.
Coming to my question, there's been heavy[ish
]rainfall in HYD for past few weeks. Above mentioned jackets are made of cordura(?). 15 kms of highway commute to college in moderate rains, will the fabric start stinking? Also looking at DSG Maze, it has leather construction over shoulders, cuffs. Will this much of leather result in that unpleasant odour?
PS: How do you protect your waist/hip in a crash? I dont think any of the jacket has that protection? Hyperion has those protectors at kidneys, but this is a distant dream
