  • Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

    I don't know if this is the right place to post this, mods please advise if not.
    I want to sell my Spartan Icarus jacket. It's in almost new condition and has been sparingly used.
    Comes with all the armors and the rain liner.
    Reason for selling: upgrading to a new jacket.
    Interested buyers can PM me.
    Thanks!

    P.S- location is Pune.

        I could not agree more. Frankly even in a mesh jacket, when you are stalled at a signal, etc. it gets a bit steamed inside, but then once you are on the move again, that feeling is pacified.

        I cannot think of myself riding in a Textile Jacket atleast for city riding. Though textile jackets are suppose to be good for long tours.

        I will recommend you to go the company's website and checked out their authorized dealers listed on their website and make your purchase only from an authorized dealer of that brand.

        The Knox armors that come with the Rynox Tornado Pro are good enough buddy.Rather than investing in armors for limbs, you could just buy a Knox/Sastec Back Protector for your spine. Knox armors are really good SASTec will be a switch not an upgrade.

        Just a recommendation.

          If you say so i'd use them after some time but. Sas tecs are molecular armors they dont break up in case of hard crash like other armors so just was thinking of to go in for them. But lets try out knox for sometym
          And as well sas tecs are more comfortsble once you start movement and can move freely unlike other armors

          Do you know any good knee and shin protector

          Thank you for the advice [emoji6][emoji4]

                    Look at these above protectors these are available in pune right now leaving cramsters... I dont know about your city so you can google it..
                    I'd prefer the spartan or a* you know these are trusted brands... ( in my case atleast )

                        A* does protect shin area but spartan doesnt. It covers the knee only. I'd prefer a* cause my elder brother uses it. From last 1 and half year no problems at all. Met an huge accident but left un scratched R15 got into 2 peices
