Universal : Riding Gear Thread

Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

I rather avoid riding in heavy rains. But nevertheless it should be waterproof enough to avoid getting wet in drizzle.

I would suggest you go for Rynox Air GT jacket, which is 5k+ and DSG gloves or gloves from Rynox itself, you can check out at Orion Motors opposite to Forum Mall in Koramangala, where they have a lots of varieties of jackets and gloves and all other riding gears. You can even try Spartanprogear website, they too have good collections or can check out the same products at Moto-101 shop opposite to MTR Hotel, on Lalbagh road.

Re: Waterproof riding gloves

I didnt get a chance to test it in heavy rain, extreme cold/ hot. But in next few weeks i would be travelling around 2k KM, so am pretty much sure i would face these extreme weather condition. Anyways will put up my impression till now.
In mild rain: This glove does its job without sipping a single drop. I guess most water resistant gloves can do that.
Hot sunny day: I went to Kanchipuram with these gloves on. The temperature was around 35C and a bit humid, my palm sweat a bit and gloves become somewhat tough to remove but that's fine as it wasn''t to hectic. But there are people whose palm sweat like hell, better they stay away from these gloves during summer.
Comfort: I didn't find any issue while riding with this glove but yes as mentioned above if your palm sweat a lot then it can become difficult to remove it.
Protection: Knuckle protection is good. Palm, index finger and thumb protections are not that good but better than Cramster Tundra. Though, fortunately, i didn't get a chance to test these protections.
Cost: Rs2700 - MRP

One more thing- the wrist portion is too bulky to wear inside a jacket, not impossible though you will find more comfortable wearing above jacket. By jacket i mean riding jacket.
Attaching some photos which might help

Thank you so much for the detailed review. It really will help me in making my decision.

Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

Bought a Cramster Velocity riding pant on this weekend for upcoming trip. As the trip will be in rain and the pant seems to be waterproof I'm planning to ride all day in this pant.

My concern is, is it really waterproof? Shall I have to carry rain coat pant in case of continuous rain?

It is advisable to wear rain gear over the riding gear, rather than relying on the inner rain liners.

I am looking for riding boots which can be worn daily and look like regular sports shoes. Does anyone have any experience with Alpinestars Faster Shoes?

Check out the Tarmac Street Boots. They are short boots, but don't look like sports shoes.

BTW, nice choice of a jacket. Did you also check out the Macna Cobalt?

The only problem with most of the boots is that one cannot wear them as regular shoes. I got a sweet deal on Jura so did not bother to check out Cobalt.

Check out Orazo picus vwr. I just got them last week. They have a good fit. Although they look more military than sports but are still way better priced than other riding boots & have a good reputation.

Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

Guys, has anyone used Zeus Revpro gloves? Are the protectors made of original carbon fibre? Same question for Dsg Primal/Spartan Ares/Rynox rampage.

I am looking to buy gloves for daily use as well as rare touring. Don't need it to be waterproof.

Also looking for jackets within 6k which can be used daily with decent rain liner which can keep me dry during medium showers. I understand that no jacket in the budget can be 100% proof but I would like whatever comes closest. Jackett's with branded armor which can be upgraded in future will be an added bonus.
