Oh boy, finally you've zeroed in on the Cramster. Great to know that you're loving the jacket. You know the customary Post your pre and post ride experience of the jacket that'd be great for other newbies who'd like to get their hands dirty.

Again, congrats on your new purchase. Ride safe!

Cheers!

hey nice purchase there. I too am considering this jacket as a possible buy. Please post some pics and a review with accent on the armor quality, stitching , design ad ventilation.
What colours do they have? Only the one displayed on their website? And where in Mumbai did you get it from?As i which outdoor travel gear store?

Cramster Breezer 4.0

Warning: Noob post.

All right here goes nothing. Well it all started a few months back when a friend of mine bought the jk 17. I have always wanted to buy my own jacket but thanks to the peanuts that i get paid in, i cant afford $#|t. Well being a good friend that h is (manoharrohan) forced me to save up. And so i did.

The plan was to get the uber cool (my perception) DSG Triton. Cost - 6500. Damn it, end of september and had only colected about 4300 bucks. Then i turned to XBhp for help and thanks to mithungo, B7ACKTHORN and all others on riding gears thread who shared their views and opinions with me and guided me.
Although i was well short of my targeted 5500, i thought i will atleast check out if Outdoor travel gear ha one in my size which ican try. They did so i called up rohan and he went why wait, lets go today and so i did. It was love at first sight. I did try the Triton and as B7ACKTHORN had rightly mentioned, i started sweating like a peeg. Anyways had fallen in love with the breezer. They had one available in my size so picked it up without second thoughts. Thats how i became a proud owner of this



Well i rode home from OTG store, roughly 35 kms and was amazed at how well the jacket worked. The finishing of the jacket is very good. Stitch quality is quite good. And definitely value for.money. The bionics are well padded for comfort.this is definitely value for money.

Only negative point is that it as buttons for adjustments on arm & waist and also on the colar. A sturdy velcro adjustment strap on the wrists and waist would have been just perfect.

The above was posted using my cell phone as my laptop ha conked off. So please forgive me for the typos. And yeah. Forgot to say thanks to folks at OTG who waited for me even after their closing time.

Congo JayD, and not bad a review for a noob, thanks again for the photos. What size by the way 2XL? Do you always wear 2XL size Tees or for the jacket you went to the 2x?

Cheers!

Funny you should bring that up. The first breezer i tried was a xxl. And i was shocked out of my wits coz i had difficulties zippin it up and it surely wasnt comfortable so thankfully.they had one in 3xl which was a perfect fit. Didnt know that they made one in 3 xl so that was a pleasant surprise. Get this!!! I could fit into a xl dsg triton. Guys about to buy a jacket for the first time. One tip.

DO NOT BUY UNTIL YOU TRY IT ON!

[JayD]

@doga- the breezer really works in keeping the rider cool.
You can have any color as long as its black.
I also got the opportunity to try the cramster k2k, dsg rage and triton. K2k and triton are purely for the serious tourers. The rage, maze and the breezer is primarily for city or.short rides. Im not really sure.about touring cross country but considering Indian climate, there should be no issues at all.
The jacket is well made, good quality armor with adequate padding and fits well. Only downer wa that it has buttons and not velcro straps.
I had been to their outlet at wadala.its actually quite close to Dadar.TT circle. A bit tricky to find.

From Where I Can get Genuine Helmets (Preferable LS2) Budget - 1-5000....

[JayD]

@shahbaz - dude check out AM helmets at malad link road or you can check AH helmets, link road andheri. Its next to Lotus petrol pump.
Check out daijya and vega ha come up with some good helmets. Cross is in your range as well.


Since you stay in Mumbra, you should look for something in Thane.

[shahbaz63]

Any Genuine Shop in Thane ? LS2, AGV, Cross, Rjay's, Dajiya or Sparx .... I m in no hurry

If you can shell out 5k, you can save up a little more and go for SOL or AIROH and you can purchase AIROH via eBay or the brands you mentioned from their respective Indian retailer websites. Daijya is a little heavy for most part, AIROH is feather weight, RJays neither too heavy, not too light. SparX no idea. SOL more or less falls within the range of Daijya, but you have cool graphics and this helmet gives you an attitude.

Cheers!

Airoh is available with Bachoo Motors

Rjay's, Daijya, LS2 & AGV Where I can get it ?

Y THEY NO HAVE ONE STOP SHOP FOR EVERYTHING ?

In a Nation where helmets are bargained over the footpath, who wants to risk a shop for EVERYTHING

[shahbaz63]

That's so true, I've seen ISI Helmet for rs.200 too yes over the footpath & even saw people wearing that Labour Helmet (yellow color & made of plastic)
