Universal : Riding Gear Thread

[burnrubbernotursoul]

I have kinda skimmed through the thread but couldnt make out much so thought will just ask. I have been looking for a jacket for quite sometime now, Dont know have (generally ride wearing my windcheater!!!!!) So any suggestions where I can get good jackets (in which i wouldnt die cause of excessive dehydration!) in Mumbai?
any other store than the cramster store in wadala?

For hot weather conditions a mesh jacket is the best option. textile jackets are very hot. i used to use textile jaceket spike from DSG but had to change because it was too hot. now using breezer from cramster, which i feel is way better in feel and comfort from the DSG one.

breezer from cramster costs 4500 + shipping xtra. Dsg mesh jacket cost 6000 + shipping and joe rocket mesh jackets in performance racing store http://www.performanceracingstore.net/home.html costs upwards of 12000. if you have the money go for the joe rocket.

Need help!! Are customs applied to a product, which is used? I am getting a pre-owned helmet from ebay...do the custom tax rules apply?

The RJays jacket that a couple of guys from Mumbai have got. The jacket fitting is good, but I doubt the quality of the mesh and the buttons, coz Sumit's (dragster) Octane jacket button broke (on our recent goa ride), and the mesh thing near the wrist has started to develop some kind of threads which are coming out. Donno how it will be in long run, but it seems like there are some quality issues with the jacket.

And also removing and wearing the jacket takes a lot of time. Its pretty tough to wear it with the lining. Rest all is good.

Hey man,

the DSG primal is a great pair.... those are excellent full gauntlet gloves at a great price. the build quality IS good. and insulates your jacket sleeves from any wind / water.

however some drawbacks ill list.

not good for wet riding (i mean rains) the water seeps in through the ventilation holes and makes the fingers horribly wet

also gives off the black dye colour when it gets wet. i've used it almost 10 times in heavy rains yet the colour still is coming off from the INSIDE.

No fading or loose stitches as of now. been 4 and half months of rigourous use.

and it has more abrasion protectors than the cramster you've mentioned.

although the sizing is bit funny .. you haveto get lucky within the sizes they offer. mine is bit loose but the one below my size was horribly tight.

I have big hands

[satyenpoojary]

^ Agree with you on the sizing... the a* L's would always fit perfect for me... (have long fingers :P ) but this one fits snug for thumbs but are loose @fingers....

Today was my first day with the primal its a decent buy...
