Aa..... and you can check out their comments on the quality too. Not the best, but not bad either is what I would say. Most of the so-called HJC CoolMax balaclavas sold on EBay are fake. The original costs about Rs.1000/- while the fakes range from Rs.300/- onwards. You can also check with Performance Racing Store, which used to stock them.

The real icing on the cake is the dust filter on the M1, which really does it's job superbly. Used it for my Leh trip, and performed flawlessly. Complete bang for the buck product.

@aargee sir, I never would recommend you to source anything from eBay, at least if the seller has a good reputation or a genuine dealer of sports goods. Best bet would be offshore markets, MSS or Revzilla etc.

Hi Folks.. Finally found the link I was looking for!

I am outside India for a year now.. I have a 2011 Apache 180 RTR... I basically work in Pune but I left my bike in Bangalore with my brother before leaving.. Now I will be back in Bangalore between March 9th and 11th and I will be riding my bike to Pune on 12th March.... Before starting this long ride.. I am planning to buy some protection gear! Currently I am planning on below 3 products in Cunningham road store, Bangalore..

Riding Jackets, BREEZER 4.0 - 3 in 1 Mesh Riding Jacket - True All Weather
Riding Pants, VELOCITY 2.0 All Weather Riding Pants
Riding Gloves, TRG2 - Racing Gloves - Full Gauntlet

I will also do a good amount of riding in Winter/Rains in Pune..

What do you guys think... Is it a good buy or do I need to go for any other options? I would prefer brands that I can buy from a store in Bangalore please!

Cheers,
Manish

Aargee- have been struggling with this myself for awhile now...You can also check with Performance Racing Store, which used to stock them.

Yes saar, I remember you telling me this last time; but somehow dollars & pounds refuse to sell me one citing reasons that they don't have stock

I'll talk to PRS

Thank you

How is the Cramster balaclava ??

[B7ACKTHORN]

Cramster balaclava is crap. Bought it and now using to wipe glass stuff. It may fit some others, personally never rode it from day one.

But sadly that's what's avlbl for most part and cheap. Try genuine alpinestars from Planet DSG

The Cramster balaclava works well for me. Go for it if you are looking for a cheap alternative.

2500 for this way costly for a glove this caliber. Personally, this is in somewhat relation to the DSG Motomesh gloves, which retails for say around 750 something. For that money, you could have got yourself a DSG Primal or Carbon or Spartan Pegasus, which are well worth the buck.

I always say this to everyone, yes PRS stuffs are genuine, but personally they way exorbitantly priced.

Anyways, not to spoil your party. Do post inside out photos and reviews without fail.

Cheers!

^ how about Cramster TRG II most VFM & good looking gloves at 2300


Any Riding accessories shops near by Whitefield/ Ramagondanahli or Electronic City Bangalore?

Okay now, Blackthorn you already spoilt the party ... :P
Tell me mate, in what ways do the primal, carbon or pegasus score over the mayhem?? I mean like comfort, quality or safety wise??

Thanks.

Primal and Carbon are more or less full gauntlet and have carbon fiber knuckle protection and moreover they are leather, Pegasus is short cuff and offers leather, whereas Mayhem is a textile glove with so called "meshed vents" which if you take one call will rip the textile away, and your 2.5k goes right there.

Whereas leather can withstand abrasion and doesn't rip, which doubles as VFM and your arse gets saved for good.

AGV Mayhem is for cyclists, not bikers, in my plain humble opinion.

Exactly,to be frank it isn't even actuall fair to compare the lether yloves with mesh gloves,the premium you are paying is only for the agv brand name...while the protection the primal and nitro gives for that price is just too much to not see.

Its an offence if you were calling my p220 a cycle in anyway....

I am kidding
