    aye aye captain!!

    These gloves are also on my list, planning to buy them soon, please post your review!

    are these comfortable? also on the sizing front, i see only M-XL on the SPG site. but no size chart as such, so 'M' means how many inches? which size you own??

    Live like you mean it, then get a bike!

          @fishnil. Thanks for the review. Can u please help me with the sizing of the jacket? LGU has no sizing guides... confused. Would really help.

          BTW, waiting for the review of the gloves.

            PzZulqar, I am using the Large sizing for the jacket. I normally wear Medium sized clothing but for the jacket the Large size suited me. As for sizing, I think it's best judged once worn. If you are ordering online, I think take one size bigger and then if you find it not suitable go for the relevant size. The "Let's Gear Up" guys are pretty cool in this matter and should replace your jacket if sizing is an issue. Call them up in any case.

            Give me some time will write my initial experience with the gloves too. On a brief note I'm really impressed.

              Hi, What the best way to protect gloves and hand from getting wet while riding in rain? (Other than buying rain proof goves).

                    we rubber gloves is calling for death.. they will slip when braking, dis-engaging clutch heck even opening throttle.
                    one stop solution is to buy waterproof gloves..

                        There is a jugaad which saw on the net....its not exactly waterproof but its water repellent.

                        Rub wax or candle on the textile gloves like a probiker gloves. Cover all the textile area nicely and then using the hair dryer melt all the wax which was rubbed all over the gloves, and the wax settles in the textile.

                        The wax acts as water repellent and works fine.

                                I have a discarded probiker pair. Gonna try on it first.
                                In school we have used similar trick to make waterproof handkerchiefs. So it just might work. Can't say how long it'll remain that way especially around the edges and folds.
