        Since you haven't mentioned a budget, ~11k is the minimum you'd need for a decent pair of riding jacket and pants.

            This feels like filling up a questionnaire. If you'd have done some research, you would have known the answers or at least a list of options by yourself.

            Anyway, in jackets, you have the Spartan Icarus, Spartan Helios, DSG Nero, DSG Rage, Cramster Breezer, Rjays Swift, etc.
            For pants, you have the Spartan Odysseus and pants from DSG & Cramster.

            A combination of most of these jackets/pants should not exceed 12-13k

                [MENTION=11348]krish[/MENTION], I have no idea as to what Spartan offers as accessories, but Sunny pretty much hit it spot on. And I had the same dilemma months back when trying upgrading to KNOX back armor. But to my vain it was close to 1800 and shipping a whopping 1200 rupees so close to 3000 Rupees for a genuine KNOX back armor. Since then dropped the upgrade. But still searching the web for the best solution.

                SAS TEC is an excellent armor and if I'm not wrong Sunny uses them too.

                The only dilemma is not all jackets would fit the same armor, the size thickness and the very material that holds all comes into play.

                Just a though, [MENTION=11348]krish[/MENTION] do the guys near your town sell KNOX stuffs? Level 2 back armor is what I am really looking forward for and a KNOX branded one, and will ping you personally.

                Cheers!

                Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
                The girl said, 'NO!'


                And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.

                  Sas tech as said to me is fitting onto spartan and a* jackets without any issue, so if the rjays back foam is similarly shaped then it should fit in, now since only spartan users can get knox , the sas tech should work out as a cheaper alternative if you want it, I can easily arrange it for you. Just PM me if you want it. It is the same guy , who i went for the givi top boxes.

                  Vijay mahca...you are tagging the wrong guy since ages now, i wonder what he will be thinking of when you are tagging him away in most posts...

                    If I were you.
                    Stayed away from Rjays Swift.

                    Icarus is good built jacket for 4300rs.
                    And Spartan's Pant looks awesome too.

                    You must have noticed Param's and Melville's Pant. ?
                    And good pair of gloves also to have a proper set.

                    Same goes for Cramster.

                    I got Cramster jacket,gloves, Balaclava and riding pants (or knee guard soon).

                    Man just keep on moving even @ 15-20kmph speed.
                    Cramster Breezer keeps on passing the air.

                                Bro, as discussed on the call, for such things it's best you spend a bit more and get good quality stuff. Personally I regretted buying the RJays (which itself is good) instead of JR (which is much better). To save 3K I went for RJays Octane, instead of JR Pheonix. Things like jackets etc. last you for at least 3 years .. and hence prove to be a better investment as compared to say gloves.

                                I know this is a stretch for your budget, but think about getting this one:

                                Performance Racing Store. Joe Rocket Phoenix 5.0 Motorcycle Jackets

                                Or else, as compared to Zeus, I'd still recommend, at worst go for this:

                                Performance Racing Store. AGV Sport SOLARE Textile Jacket

                                Finally the one below is the one I have. It's a three piece modular jacket for summer/rain/cold and is working beautifully in the monsoons. By three piece what I mean is the monsoon protection isn't a liner but instead another jacket (!!) to be worn on top of your main (summer) jacket which has the protectors.

                                Performance Racing Store. Joe Rocket Jacket - Alter Ego 3.0
