Universal : Riding Gear Thread

[B7ACKTHORN]

re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

I have a very good personal experience with light, full-sleeved pure cotton shirts. They absorb perspiration and the airflow within the jacket flows over them thus cooling the body. @ B7ACKTHORN. I have found that wearing tee shirts causes the rough inner layer of the jacket to abrade the skin on long rides. Also, perspiration on the lower arms seeps into the jacket causing the later stink.

Exactly. I almost 100% of the times, wear Tees with my riding jacket and I sweat like a peeg most of the times. Just a 100 KM is enough to top up a bottle of sweat perspired from my body by squeezing my Tee (just kidding) but hey the facts are close to real deal.

That's why a good Tee matters, seams and threads over seams cause pressure points and abrade your skin. Always wear a soft, cotton tee. In all my life wearing a tee, I've never experienced any single Tee induced abrasion as such. Real strange.

But if that is the case with you, check the type of tee you wear.

Hi Frnds,

Need your help!!!
I was searching for a riding jacket to buy and stumbled upon Cramster's full Race suit.
Does anybody know about this product? How good is the product?

I am talking about this one :

Race Wear, Race Suit - N Series - Race Grade Genuine Leather

If I am not wrong, there was a review by a fellow member for the same, and it was one of the best alternative to high-end racing suits. Did you try PlanetDSG AXO Racign suits and RJays Racing Suits. If no, check them out.

Planetdsg.com for AXO
bachoomotors.com for RJays
Cramster for Cramster Suit.

Cramster suit and basically okay-ish, don't expect any super stuff like MotoGP but they are MORE THAN ENOUGH for the riding we do in our climate and especially track sessions. Many members use it and have seen it too, but don't really know their names.

If your need is track focused on weekedays, then this is your best bet. But before that, do try these three suits and see how they fare against your budget.

Cheers!
VJ

Looks like July gonna bring us double delight (one from SPG & now one from cramster)

[Dreamwalker987]

re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

Think SPG is going to come out with something more suited to the humid and hot climate and think would be a tad cheaper and lighter than the Odysseus

when???? no tentative dates yet....

I've already checked these personally a month back.

The built is very good for 1800rs.

But Pulsar 150, 180, 220 users can't use it because it will scratch the Tank :/
Others have to check.

Ya. Even I'm waiting for the new model.

I'm talking about the current model. The one shown in Pic.
Its built is same as the FOX available on eBay for 400-500 bucks !
But protection level is far far better. !
This is the older version.

I guess new one will be designed to wear inside the pants...because they have mentioned older one as outwear.
2nd one will be inner one. That's what i think

Man I used Thor of a xBHp friend for the Hyderabad trip.
After you remove them. You can't control the itching because of long time attachment to skin.

Remember the itching from a new tight socks ?
Same type of.
Because of continuously being with the skin for long time.

And saving cash ?
lol, I was goign home (Delhi) then I tought lets go to Hyd.
Friend is calling from 4 years, it will be a cheap & same money as Delhi.
And lol I wasted some 7-8k in a week :/
+ My friend's 9-10k + another friend's 10-15k ! !

Yes. Some products are out of stock and hence not reflected in their website as I posted above. Wait for a while, if you intend to get them, or you can always call their numbers for a more precise outlook on their stock.

JCB Excavator Ankle Boots

Today, I received JCB ankle boots costing 1,434. I ordered online on 27 June 2013. All along, I used to wear my jogging shoes for riding my Blue Bird, which did not serve the purpose fully. With the new JCB Excavator ankle boots, I tried kick-starting and shifting of gears of my Blue Bird. I could do these tasks very easily. Also, these ankle boots are light in weight and VFM. However, I will post my reviews after riding long distance in my Blue Bird.

Looks sturdy & hence definitely VFM IIRC these are not riding boots, right? Is it serving its purpose, mate? If yes, howz the practicality in case of different bikes?
Please do update your review/experience. Sorry for the noob nature

Thanks.
