re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

Planning to buy RJays All Season II riding jacket and pants. Is is worth it? Anyone have any experiences with these two gear here?

Also, if it is worth to go for them, what size would you suggest I go for? According to the sizing guide, I should choose an M. Though, will it be better if I go for one size bigger?

Hai Xbhpians

They say that the one who waits patiently for the results will always be fruitful. In my case it is very true. I have searched for almost a year for the proper riding jacket from SPG, rjays, cramster, etc. But to vain. Then I had been looking at the foreign markets. And atlast found the one I was looking for "DRIDRIDER". The size is 8XL.
1. front


2. back


3. reflectors



4. elbow(leather)


5. Nordic Airflow(very breezy)


6. Inside (removable back protector)


6. Material


7. Insulation(Thermal)



8. waterproof (rain wear)


8. Fitment (perfect)


The cost of the jacket is 249.95$Ausi(Rs.14000).
The jacket has got removable elbow,shoulder and back protector(CE approved).
Did a 100kms ride today and the jacket allows lot of air inside and I did not feel hot at all.

Now my list of safety gears are as follows.

1. LS2 phobia helmet(red)
2. Rynox kombat(Green)
3. Dririder riding jacket
4. Wurth safety shoe(though industrial serves the purpose for the time being)

Safety gears to be procured(my pending list).

1. knox knee protector.
2. knox riding shoes.

Planning to buy the remaining items in my list by Jan 2014.

Will give a detailed review in few days.

Cheers

Mathews

Bro It is not about whether it is good or bad when compared with the Indian counter parts. The reason I went to foreign brands is because I could not find my size jacket "8XL". And believe me it is worth all the money spend.

For Melbourne, you can check with the following stores:

All Motorcycle X-ccessories
I am expecting a pair of glovees bought from their bayswater outlet, Victoria; on a closeout deal, they have all apparel but I doubt they have gopro stuff.

Also checkout

OZ Motorcycle Gear

re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

Went gear shopping today.
Got rynox rampage.
Wanted to get Spartan Icarus.But there is a size issue.
The elbow armor is not in right place.It is hanging below my elbow.So tried Helios,dsg,rynox jackets.All M sizes and same problem.Its like the jackets arm is too long.
So did not buy.When we bend our arm,the armor is supposed to bend with it right?
In my case it is slipping down and exposing my elbow bone.I made my friend try it,who is 5'9 and same problem for him too.
Is the armor supposed to be like that?
