Bought a new jacket .SCOYCO JK 17

. here is the review of the jacket when compared to my other 2 jackets- CramsterBreezer (1st gen) and DSG Spike.
So here we go!
Comparison between the 3 jackets.

1) STYLING and FIT and FINISH:

Cramster breezer (1st Gen):DSG Spike :
This one is a stylish jacket with some bold colour patterns. However it is bulky and doesnt not have a snug fit. With the thermal liner it fits just fine but without the liner it fits loosely .the armour s also fits loosely and move around a lot. This one is the worst fitting jacket among the 3.
The cordura feels the same in terms of thickness when compared to the Scoyco jacket. The inner liner is of the worst quality among the 3 and is prone to tearing, the stitching on the inner liner leaves a lot to be desired. Improper stitching leads to Velcro catching your shirt material thus ruining quite a few of my cotton shirts. This problem coupled with the wierd sizing led me to buy the breezer. The zippers are YKK but are notoriously prone to damage.



SCOYCO JK -17:
This one is the best fitting of the lot and fits me perfect.i like the styling and it looks more of like a jacket which one can wear to a mall during those winter days. Fit is snug. It has only the arm adjuster but the jacket has a snug fit on the forearm which means that the armour are fixed properly on your arm with the least amount of movement.the wrist and waist are elasticated, which ensures that the fit is good..Special features:

Breezer:
Its a mesh jacket , so it has the best ventilation among the 3. Comes with an additional rain coat as well which is quite good.it can also be used in the early winter i have used it even in DEC month in Jaipur and Delhi coupled with thermal inner wear and it works fine but only during the day.comes with adjustable arm, forearm ,chest ,wrist and waist.

Spike:
This is an all weather jacket with an inner liner that is both waterproof and acts as a thermal liner as well.for summer use it has mesh panels on the front and back along with vents on the arms for ventilation. Its good as long as you are moving But as soon as you stop you will sweat like hell . the waterproof liner is quite effective but its heavier than a rainjacket ,besides once the cordura gets wet it takes time to dry . so i carry a rainjacket with me and use the liner only during the winter to protect myself from cold. The jacket is good for the winter of northindia if used along with the liner.
Comes with adjustable arm forearm ,wrist and waist . however the range of adjustment is very limited compared to JK 17 and Breezer

JK 17:3) Armour:
All the 3 jackets comes with elbow , shoulder armours and foam back protector.

Breezer :

It has decent set of armour and has an 8mm thick back protector.
Spike:

Has the worst set of armour among the 3. The back protector is only 5 mm thick and fairly compressible .

In both these brands the quality of stitching and finishing on the armour is nowhere near the JK 17.more over the armour used in these jackets are thin and compressible and worse asymetrical .

JK 17: .Armours on breezer and spike can not be compared with JK17. Its in a different league altogether.

Great review and yes the Scoyco jackets are amazing. it is also abrasion resistant and saved my life during a bad accident. The armour is the best but yes the zipper quaility needs to be improved.

I was just thinking of posting a long term review about this jacket because I have been wearing this jacket daily to my college for 2 years(in december) now. There are a few improvements that can be done in this jacket, like the sliding elbow and shoulder guards that don't stay in place, and the ventialtion, but over-all an amazing jacket. I've fallen a total of 4 times with this jacket and it's still going solid except for a slight colour fade that happened when I washed the jacket at home in luke warm water(don't recommend it). You seem to get really sweaty when the bike is stationary but when in motion the heat is not as much noticeable. The water proof pocket does it's job moderately though I would still recommend one to put anything in a plastic and then in your water proof pocket because stuff inside there does tend to get wet. The jacket will provide protection against drizzles but not against a heavy downpour(then again which jacket does? ) Overall the jacket is doing it's day to day job well for me and I plan to use it for a minimum of another year more. (The zippers are working fine for me)

Has any one had any experience with Knee Braces? I recently had a accident that damaged my knee ligament. I found some knee braces here. Any idea where can we try one of these in and around Mumbai. Thanks.

Knee braces are pretty much same as a knee guard, in that they have special support with regard to your knee, preventing it from moving in unintended direction, other than the normal movement our knee has. Knee braces are mostly used in medical support with knee surgery/implant etc etc, which just holds on the knee like a external piece of metal rather than bolting them inside the bones.

That said, you have good knee braces/knee guards and as you've shown in your link, all those guards pretty much do what they are designed to do. Since you've had a injured knee, it's a good idea to invest in a good pair of knee guards/braces.

Bought DSG Aero, newly launched Mesh jacket. Cost 4.5k MRP. Shoulder, elbow and spine protector. No reflector stripes, only 3M Scotch reflector logos. Got rainliner, no thermal liner. very good ventilation, yet to try in rain. Got 2 pockets, but not waterproof. Value for money.

Guys, A new dsg jacket is indeed there at sm studios.The cost is 5000 and is similar to dsg rage save for the colors.Its entirely black.And, i mean AND, the protectors,(elbow and shoulder) are made of FOAM....same material as the back protector.it is tough, but im sure it will soften after a crash.DSg rage also had same back and foam protectors.

Hope this is the one.

Hope this is the one.

This is exactly it. DSG Aero, the "wonder product" from DSG that's been giving me sleepless nights for a long time. At 4.5k that damn cheap considering the money we're shelling out on expensive DSG and other products. Are those protectors certified ones or...I guess they are, but just to double check it. Please post a close up shot of the photos, inside out which would be great!

Eye -Gear

Guys,Please suggest me an Eye-gear which I can use both during day and night. I absolutely Can't ride without my sunglasses (or else, I every time feel that some thing is getting into my eye, and have some dangerous experience when my eye-lid shut for as long as 5sec while riding)
People think I'm totally mad or a complete show-off when they see me wearing my sun-glass even at night.
Note - I have normal eye power, and do not wear glasses in regular use. I use Fast track sun-glass, which covers from side as well. Normal glasses don't do that, and I dont want to carry two diff kind of glasses, one for night and one for day.
