,
looking at this guy ebay items for sale page iam almost 100% sure that the jacket is chinese make fake ones .if you check it he is also selling fake alpinestar gloves etc. moreover nothing like this available on fox offical site Fox Racing - Jackets .i think this is for offroading.not for street and touring use.and i read somewhere it is supposed to be worn inside jacket for extra protection and not a standlone.

Hey Guys!

I am planning to get the DSG Triton in Red/Black next month. Im 6.1 and on the heavier side hence planning on buying the triton as it comes in xxl, plus i like it. Any suggestions against buying the triton or any other options which i might have overlooked.

Yeah, i cant shell out more than 6500 for the jacket. If anyone can share the links for DSG triton reviews, it would be very helpful. Even better if anyone is currently using the triton and would like to share his experience.

Cheers!

Unless I'm mistaken, this question has been answered several times before. Sorry to say this but this product is absolute crap. I've seen guys buy and wear this - cheap plastic with net material that will probably do more damage in a crash than good. Please ask yourself - what kind of product can you possibly get for Rs.1200/-??

i completely agree with sunny

I am looking for a pair of gloves, ended up visiting the cramster outlet didn't find anything of my liking and they don't seem to be of standard size. I was using cramster twister L for quite sometime but the new pair of twister L seems to be too small. Contacted spartan pro gear, they don't have pegasus in stock waiting for them to arrive.

Though this query has been answered day and night, let me chime in my two cents worth. I initially thought of buying the same for my cycling, off-roading that I do sometimes and turned to eBay for some assistance. For some crazy reasons I went on to read their customer reviews from that particular seller, and boy I was in for a surprise. The same protector, the guys review read, Cheap Cheap Cheap! The textile component placed on the elbow pads came off just three days from purchase and the rivets are way flimsy.

Rest is up to you. + it's too gross to wear this going outside. Unless you're dirt tracking, you're gonna look like a creature from other world for sure with this thing on.

Lots of people here use teh DSG Triton, but I would suggest you look for something other than TRITON, reason being it sweats, and I stress it, it really sweats like a peeg when wearing it. If you have 6500 as your budget, why don't you try the DSG Nero or DSG Maze jacket both are awesome jackets. Plus you can consider Cramster Breezer 4.0 which is like an all-season jacket, which can be worn on summer, winter, windy, rainy with different liners for the occasion. Cramster Breezer retails at close to 5.5k and it's the best VFM jacket out there.

I was looking at getting a JoeRocket UFO 2.0 jacket. I had recently tried out Rjay Jetstream S size but they were a little tight at the chest.
I hear JoeRockets are a little larger, so hopefully I can order the S size. Does performanceracing exchange jackets if it doesnt fit ? I wrote them a mail 2 days ago and no reply.
Any idea if this is available in Bangalore shops ?

@ B7ACKTHORN .Thanks for the info about triton. I ll look around.

Hi,

Anyone know a good place in Delhi to pick up a biking jacket? I have a Duke so thinking about picking up a DSG Rage Orange from Meandering India, Vasant Kunj (they still don't have it in stock though) or a Cramster Breeze 4.0? Looking at a mesh jacket because it's hot in Delhi. Anyone have any other suggestions for a jacket as well as stores in Delhi?

Glad to help mate.



You already owned a DSG Nero, or Maze if I am not wrong. If you're planning to invest in a mesh jacket, go for the one with removable liner. Go for RJays Swift cheap and best stuff. Else you can always use DSG NERO again, cheap and best and both cost the exact 5999 or if you can extend a bit more, you can go for RJays Octane, 7999, you know I've it and for really long trips and will be your best bet.

Else you have Spartan HELIOS mesh jacket, should be an excellent buy considering your need and that too at an irresistible price of 5500.

Since you owned DSG, if you're comfortable with DSG, go with DSG else go for RJays But I'd say go for Spartan. Sexy jacket.



A mesh jacket usually has a rain liner and a winter liner, both can be removed or in some cases only one can be removed. But 95% of the jackets both can be removed, both for practical usage and washable purposes. If you really want to rain liner above the jacket you have lots of jugaad methods which have been tried and tested.

Regarding prices, you have "n" number of jackets in your price bracket. Make sure your sizing is correct before you order, because different manufacturers sometimes have different size charts, make sure you go through your favorite manufacturer site and then make a purchase accordingly.

You have lots of good stuff here in India itself na

Fahim, I read your review very well the same day you posted it, bud, thanks. I forgot to multiquote the message and was lost in the message that princesirohi posted. Excellent review and good photos. Thanks! Much appreciated!

Almost any reseller will exchange if the size is a discrepancy, and PRS is not an exception. But, instead of sending them mails, try calling them. I too sent a mail regarding an item and it was answered some two days after.

Sizing wise, pretty much all the jackets have the same sizing, except very few. If you have a sizing discrepancy, then go for an M, instead of sticking with a S. The jacket mustn't be too tight or too loose, it should have a perfect fit. Try going for a size M in RJays or JR.

Not a problem, JayD, glad to help
