      @Ko_rider but presently due to some probs, sticking within 3k max budget. . . Anyways have a friend who might get me the Rynox for 3k, I just hope so. . . Keeping my fingers crossed. . .

      So why not Cramster both of you . . ?




      Cheers!!!

      Its depends on your choice bro as bravo is full black & venture is combo of black & white. pricing is same. but i preferred full black bravo as I cant handle white color it gets dirty easily..
      cheersssssssssss

            Use a leather cleaner for regular cleaning (once a month or 2 if it gets too dirty for your use)

            For a thorough clean (every 6 months or so)
            Soak in a bucket of mild detergent in water. Do not rinse. Dry it on a flat surface without any stretch in any direction (DO NOT HANG DRY ! ). Let it wait and dry. Use Leather conditioner.

            Full leather is great but what about the stitchings ? A glove is as good as its stitchings. If you do not have a first hand crash report on them, suggest you to go with a tested brand like Aspida or TBG.

              hi Sourjya

              yes bro you are absolutely right stitching is as important as material. but bro i am using this gloves bravo right now & i found it very good & i recommend you also to just check it out
              as i have done so much research for this . i heard about tbg explorer as well but unfortunately these people don't have stock just giving advertisements so i move out from here
              yes of course if i ll get something negative in solace bravo then i ll update it here. but until now i am happy with my purchase.

                yes its is a mix of leather and cordura.
                Leather is treated to be made waterproof. Not sure how these are being made waterproof.

                    Dude

                    how do you know that Aspida & TBG are tested brands?? Like DSG & Cramster TBG also imported from Pakistan. so all having similar quality
                    but yes pricing is different. TBG is quite expensive but providing similar quality like DSG or Cramster. It's just a technique to promote the brand
                    by saying that it is tested.

                        DSG - Numerous reports of stitchings ripping off and leathers going away, especially the gloves. The Jackets are reported good. Seldom or no response from the after sales service in spite of having a wide network.

                        Cramster - All products have numerous reports of stitches flying away, quality control issues are frequent. Never heard of any of them being resolved either.

                        Aspida - Few reports of lemons. Also, after sales service widely reported to be good as they are ready to fix/replace a bad. Ever expanding. Great quality materials used. Going places and have started to sell outside India too.

                        TBG - Comparatively newbie in the market. Never heard of a complaint regarding quality issues yet, neither on the web nor from friends who use them. Crash return discount policy. Loads of thought into most designs. Top quality materials used and technologies incorporated. Most gear being used on track days regularly and passing crashes with flying colors. Also, good after sales support and always ready to hear from customers.

                        Plus I was talking about the gloves and I don't see another glove from any Indian brand with as much technology in them and built as well as they are.

                          Hey bro

                          i am looking for the purchase of good leather gloves. yes TBG a new brand & you explain about the testings & techniques they are using & i think you have enough
                          knowledge so i want to clear some of my points with you so that it will be better for me to choose correct one.

                          1) As you said TBG is tested. do they have any testing certificate for their gloves?
                          2) How much thick leather TBG used in their gloves? & which kind of leather they are using?
                          3) Is there knuckles are tested? can they provide any certificate for TPU/Carbon knuckles?(as you said it is a tested brand)
                          4) What kind of special technology TBG has use in their products which makes it different from cramster/dsg/spartan etc etc

                          actually i m so curious to know what kind of such techniques & technology the TBG used in their products. so that it would be great
                          for me & other bikers as well to choose right pair.

                            Testing certificate for a glove? I am not aware of any but I do know people who vouch for it as they have low sided in them on tracks.
                            It is cow hide, nice and supple. You could call and ask about the thickness.
                            Testing certificate for knuckles ? I guess Dainese needs to know about this testing as well.
                            Technology ! Knox SPS ? A stainless steel wrist slider. Visit their showroom to check out the crashed products they have. Discounted crash return policy ?

                            Also check with the guys from PowerDrift.

                            I suggest the Tarmacs. They are heavy and hefty, thus should keep you safe and pretty popular too.
                            No reports on the boots yet. The shorty boots are not very well designed by TBG so I would stay away from the long ones as well.
                            If you are ready to look elsewhere, do look at the Aspida Zeus ones as well. They are perforated as well.

                              Cramster - All products have numerous reports of stitches flying away, quality control issues are frequent. Never heard of any of them being resolved either.

                              Aspida - Few reports of lemons. Also, after sales service widely reported to be good as they are ready to fix/replace a bad. Ever expanding. Great quality materials used. Going places and have started to sell outside India too.

                              TBG - Comparatively newbie in the market. Never heard of a complaint regarding quality issues yet, neither on the web nor from friends who use them. Crash return discount policy. Loads of thought into most designs. Top quality materials used and technologies incorporated. Most gear being used on track days regularly and passing crashes with flying colors. Also, good after sales support and always ready to hear from customers.

                              Plus I was talking about the gloves and I don't see another glove from any Indian brand with as much technology in them and built as well as they are.

                              bro you have given nice bifurcation of the above brands & whatever issues with dsg & cramster are absolutely correct but
                              see these brands are going from several years & still going on so we knows their plus & minus. what about TBG as you said
                              it is new then it is too early to say that it is having this & that techniques/technologies. dsg/cramster/spartan we can say truly tested by
                              the bikers & that to number of bikers. but TBG just launched & may be tested by themselves or few bikers not sure whether tested or what
                              because you are saying about the power drift guys....who knows these guys may be sponsored by TBG so they will give good reviews nothing else.

                              all i want to say just wait for a while & provide genuine experience about any new brands in market
