    Your height & weight ? Build ?
    And tummy size ? Flat / Round type ?

      Yeah ........... but make sure you check the build quality/finish (MAKE SURE) of the armors before you buy a jacket (I guess the link in my previous post is a detailed one to understand the different armors)

      PM to Sunny Sir for once, he is a man with solution ............... trust me

      As far as I can remember, before ordering the Jacket through a re-seller I had tried the "M" size of a SPG Hyperion (which was there with him at the moment) and it was absolute perfect for me, only if I was to wear no liners at all. And then I decided to order the L size, as I wanted to have a little room for the liners (after trying a DSG, size L at his shop) ............... MAY BE OUR FELLOW MEMBERS WITH DSG/SPG CAN HELP YOU FIGURE OUT THE SIZE SCALE OF THESE REPUTED BRANDS

      +1 to your opinion before making a purchase and all the best to you
      Thanks a ton for the tips, though you have managed to increase my confusion even further.
      Will definitely have to try out all the jackets once again, both with and without the liner and see which fits perfectly, not point if the armour is not in place.
      Also, will shoot a PM to Sunny Sir for the SPG jacket, hopefully he has some solution!

      Height - 5"10 - 5"11 maybe
      Weight - around 72kgs when I last measured,
      Build - Average, not too slim not too fat (at least that's what I believe )
      Tummy - Dicey topic... getting bigger and rounder everyday, but still in control and isn't visible yet! Used to go for morning walks for about 6km everyday but stopped coz of the rains.

      Online games in cafe... neahh! I do play games, but that's more on the PS3 at home.
      Keep Calm and Continue Riding!

        So how does the Breezer fare against the Nero? From what I have come to gather from this thread is that DSG > Cramster. Correct me if I am wrong

        Tell you what, I have a personal custom, never ask opinion when you're "buying something, getting married or what to study". and it's done me a lot good deeds than cons of any such. The only cons being I spending a little more to get the ones I wanted which is "best according to me". The more you ask for opinion, the more you get confused, and worse you drop the idea itself.

        I was entangled in a same situation for a humble topic like a motorcycle tire. And with numerous tires, numerous people advising, this is best, this is worst, wet grip sucks, wet grip is super, saved my GF and me, etc etc.

        Did my research, zeroed in on what I wanted, with what I had and it worked wonders.

        What works for you will and if not in most cases won't always be right with others. I've read stores where people wearing ARAI helmets and riding in 12 lakh bike are very uncomfortable about his head than a guy wearing a 5000 buck helmet or 500 rupees helmet.

        Trust your instincts, it will be right most of the time -- well it is most of the time. But just use your conscience and that's all it matters.

        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.

          Very well said mate..
          Every person has its own requirements.. What others want and feel good about does not necessarily mean that would be best for you also..
          First clear out want you want and for what you want.. And then buy what you feel is best for you..
          Taking suggestions from others is helpful, only until you keep them for help and decide for yourself..

            As you know these jackets have their methods of elbow adjustment to keep the armors in place, so you may try the steps of this facility to see if you are getting a good fit for yourself, while you try the different sizes.

              @Trideep ............... there you go ............ now you have been philosophically preached too by our very own VJ Sir ......... what else now can you ask for ......... but then I am pretty sure he can give you the best out of your pending issue for "DSG Vs Cramster"
              Don't you think your posts confused him too ?
              And lol your last line do the same thing
              [MENTION=24243]Trideep[/MENTION]
              These jackets from 4.5k to 6k are all same with just a other brand tags.
              And who don't make mistake while buying something for the first time ?

              Except The starting in price & look is Icarus.
              A very good jacket for Money.

              And then all other jackets are a bit more in point in looks.

              No other difference.

              For DSG Nero vs Cramster Breezer. You ask ?

              People said DSG and Cramsters quality decreased with time.
              People said Pulsar are for theifs
              People say these jackets are for Races
              And people say Bikes are dangerous.



              Choice is your as said by B7ACKTHORN.

              The problem these days in Our threads are.
              Same query & discussion goes again & again and that too for such a long time with big posts.
              I too did long posts on tyre, jacket and what not. lol.
              But you know ? I always bought what people say "Don't Buy" most of the time
              Because I know myself, I'm a DHEET !

              Even I did mistake in buying jacket & this is the 3rd jacket in 15 days. And I'm happy with this 3rd Jacket now.
              Cramster Breezer 4.0.

              When we were about to buying 4th Pulsar & Third Pulsar 220, People said why the same Bike all the time ?
              Because Whenever my Pulsar Shining & vrooming. The satisfaction is same a Kissing a Girl's cheek in front of her Parents.


              *Good Luck For Your Purchase*

                OK boss!! I get your point but there's also a concept called 'value for money' for folks like me

                  Kindly follow back the posts from Trideep and you will know what he was asking to us initially in his posts on this thread, and since I had found myself not eligible enough to answer them correctly so I had left the point open for others to join and reply.

                  I think you need a correction here ........... kindly see my previous post where I've outlined 4 different points about Icarus.

                  True, but there is nothing wrong in learning more about the competition which is available at your disposal in your earnest budget. If seeking advice is so faulty, then may be there is no point in having a discussion in a dedicated thread on a public forum. I believe in hearing to all, but love to act as per my self-justice . I think that is a normal and sensible human behavior characteristic .

                    2. Open First Link for Meaning

                    I'm talking about the satisfaction you get from the thing you did because You wanted or Your Heart loved it.
                    Rather than from what people said and advised you.

                    OK. Takeout the protectives of your Icarus.
                    Now bend them as they are rubber kind of thing. Now can you see the tiny-tiny holes like its defected ?
                    I didn't like it.

                    And for other replies. no food yet from morning. Feeling lazy.

                      I don't know, but for some reason, the more I read comments on this thread, the more I am inclined to the DSG Nero! I think is a matter of the Head vs the Heart. THe head says to keep my options open, and listen around and evaluate everything, but the Heart has already decided!

                            I didn't like it.
                            First of all ...... Why should I take out the armor when it is meant to be in a place inside a Jacket
                            and Second ......... I suggest you read a little info here http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/universa...tml#post910561 , then a take a peek into your Jacket to see the armor type that you have in your Breezer and then we can further discuss the about the armor and etc.

                              Help me in finding a good elbow and knee guard. When I searched online I came across fake Fox and axo accessories even the knee guard is available in cramster. Elbow guard I am not able to find anywhere.

                                Buying a Knee Guard is a good and sensible idea .......... please go ahead with this

                                Buying an Elbow Guard is not so good idea ........... instead of an elbow guard you should try to buy a Motorcycle riding jacket, as it will offer protection to your elbow+shoulders+spine. But then a motorcycle riding jacket will demand an increase in your estimated budget. For prices/details of various entry level riding jackets, you may read the posts till 7-8 pages back from this page as there has been recent discussion on the same.

                                I hope my reply was helpful to your need.
