    The Helios is supplied with a CE rated dual density back armour. An upgrade would be to the Knox Advance X back armour for Rs.1800/-.

              Unless I'm mistaken, RS Taichi sells two versions. The lighter version uses a hard plastic armour and the heavier one uses a PU armour from YF Protector. The SPG Perseus uses Knox Flexiform.

                  Cramster Velocity Waist size is only available till 40" and Aspida Proteus is available only till XXL.

                  Royal Enfield's Branded Riding Pants seems to be available till 44".
                  (Riding Trousers | Royal Enfield)

                  I also came across another brand (A desi one) PGS Biking Gears from Delhi. They also seems to support Riding Pants till 44".
                  (PGS BIKING GEARS DELHI, INDIA)

                  Any other options available? Is anyone here using the Enfield/PGS Riding Pants? Any info/comment available?

                  Thanks in advance...

                    Thanks mate... But I just came back after buying the RE Riding Pants... Went to the Brand Store and got it..

                    It seems to be nice except for the knee guard insert which seems to be lean. But I am having a Spartan Perseus which have a Knox armor. It went well into the slot and fits well.. So I've got the problem area covered.

                    Sizing of RE Pants puzzled me. My normal Pant size is 42 and I was able to comfortably wear a 38 size RE Riding pants with its thermal liner in place... That's one reason why I don't prefer buying riding gear online...
                    Ride Safe...

                    Cheers...

                      SPG Helios costs you i think 6799 without thermal liner. for thermal liner you have to pay again.
                      zeus means most costly items, yes products are fine but its again up to your budget.
                      i think solace sprint will be better in pricing and quality as well. i bought this for 5600 with thermal liner & this is removable.
                      i feel the mesh is very soft & comfortable.

                      I will suggest you solace sprint

                        Bought y'day a RYnox Mesh jacket with thermal and rain liner...cost 5550...discount 250...purchase price 5300 from Meandering India,Delhi. It has YKK zippers, two side pockets on front and one on the inner side for mobile...

                        Outdoor Travel Gear

                        I had earlier decided for SPG helios but the guy mentioned that they had received many complaints for SPG gears so went ahead with Rynox. As a startup I am fine with it and with time might upgrade to a better one.
