      DSG has rage with white grey , white red mix. But the jacket and armor quality is not so good.
      You have cramster breezer full black, will be good with all black theme of bike.
      you have spartan hyperion or helios with black red , balck green, black yellow and similar mixing , for hyperion only black red and full black options.
      Then you have rynox jackets with white red mixing and full black option.

      Now just a word of advice, study each product and outweight the quality according to your need, set a budget and then finally at last, go for the looks or color options. Function over style is better any day.

          4-5k
          A few jackets come under that price range.

          Cramster breezer, is slightly above the budget. 5.9k i think. But its okish type now, the armor is not that great when compared to other jackets now available at similar price point. So i would say keep it as last option.

          Spartan Helios , somewhere between 5k -5.5k , great product , very thoughtful design and features, and armor is best of the lot, knox armor. A premium version of that is hyperion(7.5k), which i am using, ofcourse it will be more costly, you can find the review in my signature.

          Rjays Swift, great product, but since water proofing is a priority , I wont suggest that, same review is there in my signature, read it out.

          So now water proofing of the hyperion and helios again check the link i said, i can't type it all out here again, have given a detailed experince of it there.

          Cramster breezer, i can't say as i don't know how good it is in the rian. [MENTION=54751]Sird[/MENTION] , help him with that will ya ??

              The problem with all weather jackets are that they are not appropriate for the summer conditions, if still that is what you want, then then cramster eclipse and the dsg triton is there. But if you want something useful in almost through out the year, but a little compromising on really heavy rain then the hyperion and helios are the best bet from my experience. The hyperion performed really well with its rain liner in my experience, but the leather part on the hyperion might need some extra caring to be dealt with, so the helios comes into the picture.

              For shoes, check out Rjays riding shoes, they have affordable and dedicated riding boots , not the heavy duty industrial types.
              Go to bachoo motors website for that.
              For riding pants again the options are dsg and spartan, but i have no user experience with them, so i can't comment on that.

                Have a look at Spartan chronos , This has a retro style and more of a cruiser suited jacket.

                        Looks sweet though. I think we have similar boots from JCB and some other companies here too.
                        If it were in India we could have checked it out man..!!

                          @Sird : what i saw @ Altatac Inc. - Boots is perhaps no different to &/or is identical with what i see @ Footwear Olive

                          u may also want to check out Safety Shoes, Work Shoes Online - Welcome

                          I.M.H.O. the right fitting shoe is essentially a try-&-only-then-buy kinda experience.

                          getting a shoe that doesnt fit right is a pain in the leg.

                          returning it & requesting another correct size is pain in the neck.

                          god forbid, if even that doesnt fit well, then returning & re-requesting yet another pair is a pain in the butt! LOL!

                          if i were u, i wud invest in a JCB for dry riding [heel & toe protection, 9 months out of a year]
                          if i were having as deep pockets as what urs are, i wud invest in a proper riding shoe [heel, toe, ankle, shin protection & hell even Gore-Tex to make it true blue all-weather shoe]

                          sadly, i am not as affluent nor as paternally & maternally generously lineaged, as what u are

                          remember... for anything that seems to good to be try.., chances are it is a scam!

                          instead of falling for such FARZI makes / sources, i wud rather invest my money on JCB's instead @ http://www.safetyshoebazaar.com/prod...b-footwear-c15

                              DSG specially introduced the Rage for the Orange and Green clan and it I have a friend of mine who paints the town orange with his Duke and combo Rage Orange suit and trust me it just frames him apart from the ordinary mortals out there.

                              DSG Rage isn't that different from Nero as such, fancy colors and you get an added liner extra in Nero as opposed to Rage.

                              But I'd suggest him to try the Rage personally and see how it pans out.

                              At that price point you have quite good jackets which do the job just fine. And no jacket is 100% waterproof. All that even the best jacket riding jacket out there is to resist, as such water resistance to an extent, but not 100% waterproof. There are but then they are not in India and they are very very costly stuff and not to forget bulky too.

                              Now, most jackets out there do protect one very good from rain/drizzle and showers.

                              Check out the DSG Nero, DSG Maze or the DSG Aero if you're budget conscious.

                              Textile Jackets & Pants

                              But personally if you ask me, I'd suggest you go for the DSG Phoenix.

                              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.

                                He did tired Rage but 6'2" height + good build and even L didn't suited him.

                                Shopkeeper said he'll bring XL and XXL soon.
