re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

I suggest you to go for Rynox Kombat. I have seen enough with DSG after purchasing Aqua & Alpinestars from them faced problems and they dont even respond if we email them. So this time i have got Rynox and they are having much good leather quality and offer more protection and the best thing i liked about them is the comfort and their top knotch leather quality and they are priced at Rs2650/- and they do free shipping ( RYNOX GEARS )

I can provide you pics if u need.

Buddy i have used SMX-2 limited edition one ( green ) they are good but their life is not long they lasted me around 7months on daily usage and then the leather started giving up and if i post the pics of my gloves now, u might get shocked Preserve them for your rides and dont use them daily, get some other gloves for using daily.

Thank you for the info!
Actually I was in a hurry as I am going on a trip on 12th this month..

I had a bitter exp with some indian gloves... I did see the Rynoz Kombat... looked nice to me...also the DSG Primal..

But today I finally ordered Ironclad SuperDuty.. imported from USA...

They seem to be tough!!
Expecting it to reach before 12th.. :P

Will post pics when I receive it...

re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

My SOL Metalman II which has been in storage for almost a year and was only used for occasional rides(barely covered 2k kms so far) has its plastic vent(the one near the mouth) break off. The plastic seems flimsy. Anyone know if i can claim warranty on it? I still have 2 months on warranty and SOL hasnt responded so far :/

update:
So i get a mail from SOL India on the matter on 17th September with the following content

Hi Nitesh,

Sorry for the delay in response. We have not had a complaint of this nature in the two years we have been selling SOL Helmets in India, so we had forwarded the query to SOL Taiwan for advice.

Since the plastic cover is obviously broken, it will not be covered under warranty as a manufacturing defect. We do not have stock of this piece at this time but have ordered the same for delivery as soon as possible. We will revert with the expected date of delivery as soon as we hear from the factory.


Regards


The Support Team

I'm puzzled at these two conflicting lines highlighted above. On One hand they say it won't be covered under warranty and the next line they say it has been ordered for delivery asap. So what are they actually going to do about it? Replace the broken plastic or replace the helmet for a nominal charge?
@Sunnyside_up! Any inputs here? Its been 2 weeks and i havent heard back from them when i asked for the clarification of what they meant by "ordering the same for delivery". Could you follow it up again? Thanks.

Looking for riding gloves for winters, Any other option apart from Cramster Tundra?
Checked dsg/cramster/rynox sites but none of the gloves are mentioned specifically for winter riding apart from Tundra.

If they can respond to my email's i can do something but they haven't responded to any email which i have sent asking for warranty. That is y i completely ignored DSG in buying any riding gear. Never seen such a kind of people who only sell items but dont respond back when customer faces any issues with their products.

re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

I was more pointing on the comfort points over some 8-10 hrs of use of SPG Perseus ............... since feature wise you cannot take it on & off as per your wish (as it is internal gear) so if you wear it to the office you will take it off only after reaching back home. And therefore it should be ergonomically very very comfortable. Now it is where I was dropping a hint to you to review after you start using them

Well I found it to be surprisingly comfortable. I went for a 4 hour long riding, photography and breakfast session on wednesday morning. I didn't feel any kind of discomfort at all. In fact due to some post-ride laziness, I even played counter strike for 2 hours with the knee guards on. Apart from the fact that I could feel that they were wrapping my knees, they didn't hinder my comfort at all. Also if you do find them to very uncomfortable in the office, you can always go to the washroom and remove them.

^^^Waiting for response.

And how are these Cramster elbow protectors for the price ? Accessories, Elbow Protector - Strap-on
The ones on ebay are also of the same price range 700-1000 but most of them would be fake so I guess its better to ignore them. Please let me know how is the one in link posted above and any other not too pricey option ?

When the winters will arrive you will find the inner warm liners for the gloves at the various bikers shops .............. so there is not much of a need to buy a winter gloves unless you are dead determined to

If I have to choose I will anyday choose a full fledged riding jacket instead of investing in bits like elbow protectors and all. They are good stuff but why not buy a single stuff which can do it all. For ex: people these days love to buy smartphones because they have all in just one, a good camera+music player+internet browsing and all blah blah.

There are multiple reasons why I am not investing in a full fledged riding jacket as of now. I know it is advisable and recommended to get a riding jacket with back/shoulder/elbow protectors because it solves all purpose and offers better protection but I am still to find out how much I ride the bike to justify the worth of purchase of riding jacket. Thus going for elbow protectors and knee guards for now, something is better that nothing. Personal opinion.


Coming to gloves, thanks for this option of getting warm liners for regular gloves, which gives way to another question-
In this case should I go for a glove size bigger so as to accommodate liner comfortably? or do the liners fit in easily in an already snug fit glove?
Sorry for the naive questions, as I said earlier I am new to this. Thanks!
