re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread
The bitter truth is most of the guys even with dual liner pants, do wear nylon pullovers when it rains quite dramatically. And always remember, no motorcycle gear is 100% waterproof they are just resistant to an extent so does jacket etc. Unless you pay $1000 for a Rukka, that wouldn't suit our tender pockets.
You have quite a lot of varities, DSG, Rjays, Spartan, AGV, A* etc etc. I'd clearly suggest you to stay away from A* purely for budget purposes, you can consider RJays All Season Pants and the Spartan Odysseus both are really good pants. And then you have AGV which is, of course costly resold by Performance Racing Store you can Google it. But it's a very good stuff too.
Or if you want just a mesh pant with no rain liner, you have the AGV Solare which retails for 6000 bucks but with that money you can get a pant with liner on the above mentioned brand. So the choice is yours now.
Cheers!

Riding pants time! Your reviews and inputs most welcome. I am planning a long ride much farther from my home ..for a long time too.
I am in the market for a new set of riding pants. I ve looked at a few india-based websites and realized that the options are quite limited (also, I don't want to spend big $
)
I am grounded in Chennai, so hot weather wear-ability is important for me. Right now, I manage with knee guards over jeans. A cheapo rainpant when it eventually rains. But on long rides, I don't want to have such a complicated arrangement. I want to ride with my gear on instead of packing an assortment of items to wear when it rains / cold etc.
So guys, please fire away your take on the riding pants available from DSG, Cramster, etc. My budget (7500 or so max) wont get me an alpine* or rukka for sure.
- which is the best one for warm/hot weather like Chennai?
- which one has good waterproof capability? meaning, air vents that I can zip up when wet weather strikes without having to do a lungi-dance at road side trying to wear a rain pant
