Sorry but not to make you intimidated, but you said A* website says "ROAD" what does road and street mean, same right A friendly note.

A* and Thor are excellent ones, provided FOX too. Considering the rip-offs you get in FOX than A* and Thor, I'd suggest don't go for FOX in eBay. Try sourcing A* and THOR from a branded retailer, so you get a peace of mind and if you're willing to pay the premium.

Cheers!

Need help in deciding which jacket to go for Rjay Swift or Cramster breezer 4

RJays Swift is a mesh jacket comes with only a rain proof liner, and good on summer and offers adequate protection on winter and okay-ish protection on rain.

Cramster Breezer at that price, it's kind of like an all-weather jacket with two separate liners, one for winter, one for rain and you can wear it also as plan mesh without both the liner.

For the best bang for the buck, I'd suggest go for Cramster Breezer 4.0.

DSG Rage

Got the red colored DSG Rage jacket. (size L) DSG Planet Pune
1. Excellent fit and finish and cool looks.
2. generous thickness padding on shoulder, elbows and a respectable back protector.
3. has effective rain liner. tested it yesterday and I was still dry even after riding in rains for 16-17 odd kms.
4. remove the liner and you've just got yourself a super ventilated jacket
5. inner left jacket pocket good and big enough to hold your wallet/mobiles/Ipods/ 8 * 8 in size i guess
6. collar padding for neck. (effective)
7. adjustable straps at the waist, amply adjustable
8. no velcro/push button straps available on wrist. though not a problem for me. snug fit it is
Will have to go on a 100+ Km ride to know how it feels then.

P.S. Be ready to get the peeps attention

Rjay Jet Stream II ... Comfortable & Good Rain Protector though not 100% in very very heavy flooding rain like yesterday's ...

Tested on 500+km Wrsit & Waist adjustment makes it even more comfortable, no slim fit or tight fit just ample space to move hands/arms ...

Air Ventilation without Rain Protector is super duper awesome...

Please post some pics of DSG Rage!

I'm one of the first buyers of DSG Rage or the very first buyer. Have covered 7000kms on this jacket in the last one month.
1) USP of this jacket is that it is very lightweight.
2) Backprotector feels much better than teh earlier generation DSG's
3) Very good ventilation
4) The material is not coarse and doesn't pinch on your skin
Only downside is the white patch which gets dirty very easily.

Here are some pictures

If you could post some photos of the jacket inside out, that'd be great too.

I guess many have used/use a FOX knee guard here. My brother used a FOX Raptor he bought from eBay, and of course it's a fake one. Original FOX exceeds and/or comes close to A* knee-guards.

Fake knee guards some times are on par with most good brands when it comes to crash protection, not all of them, but yes, knee guards serve their purpose really well, be it fake or genuine to an extent.

Now please, guys don't start a brand appeasing war here, I am posting from the experiences I've had and the members I've witnessed using both fake and genuine ones. In a crash situation, fake ones have come out with flying colors.

If you're so concerned about fakes out there, go for Cramster, yes it's cheap, but at least it's a branded one and you get peace of mind.

That said, you can go ahead and buy a FOX knee guard, better get it from a reputed seller than eBay, because you know never know what you get.

Cheers!

I would be ordering from Revzilla. Should I be concerned if they are fake or not?

Revzilla and Motorcyclesuperstore have been in this business for ages. You can buy whatever you want from Revzilla with your eyes closed (not really, so you can see what you're buying )
