Universal : Riding Gear Thread

[murlidhar]

I have a pair of DSG Revive gloves and I can vouch for that. It is leather though.

something non leather? i don't like wearing leather at all or rather i should put up that i don't ever wear any leather things on myself. just a personal choice.

The best motorcycle safety gear is made of leather because of its superior abrasion resistance.

If you cannot compromise on that, the alternatives would be leather substitutes like Clarino and other composite materials. However, I don't think that anybody sells products made of these materials in India. I suggest you search abroad - your personal choice is going to cost you I'm afraid.

The tried and tested jacket here for extreme heat is RJ Octane. ~7600 bucks.It comes with an inner liner that gives decent rain and cold protection.
I have been using one for quite sometime and feel that it is a VFM product and good quality as well.

Am "planning" to start up a small venture with my friend making custom apparells and accesories designed around motorcycles. For example luggage items (Saddle bags, tank bags, tail bags etc) apparels, (Jackets, Rain suits, Tees and some other stuff)

How many of you guys would be intrested.

This would be quality stuff and would be surely priced below DSG\Cramster.
The designs would be custom made with proper motorcyling in mind (not saying that others dont do this) but just saying that designed with our desi bikes in mind.
For example a tail bag that I have custom designed is a perfect fit for the R15 and the RTR (my bikes ) and so on.

How many of you guys would be intrested?

Would it be rude to ask 'what happened'?

Where can I get good rainsuits/coats in Bengaluru? Any pointers will be very helpful.

Quechua products are available at really good prices at Decathlon.

Thank You Sunny. They don't seem to have jacket+pant and quite expensive (my budget is Rs.1.5k) I'll hunt in few places this weekend.

i looked into buying rjays but again they asking for shipping cost of 1200 bucks total cost of 7600 + 1200=8800 for that much i can get alpinestar which i think u agree are the best.the deal of Alpinestars T-GP Plus & SP-X Combo for 11750 u know is kind fo attractive

The A* is good, but not sure of its winter\rain performance. I suggested the RJays because you were looking for an allrounder .
The SP-X is a good choice.

me too not sure about winter or rain performance because i dont think it comes with any inner lining for winter or rain.

Does anyone have high res pics of the Alpinestars T-GP Plus Air Jacket?
I'm looking to buy a mesh jacket, but one which has (or has options for) chest protectors, beside the normal elbow,shoulder,back found in ones like DSG, Cramster etc.

it has chest protection if that u ask for but again no inner liner so no rain and winter protection .i also want to buy the same.
this is taken from planet dsg site"Protection features include removable CE certified Bio Armor elbow and shoulder protectors. As in all Alpinestars Jackets, there is a Chest pad compartment with PE padding (Bionic Chest Pads available for purchase separately) and Back protector compartment with PE padding (CE certified Bio Armor Back Protector available separately).
