Universal : Riding Gear Thread

re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

Congrats. Finally some illustrated and nice hands-on review on Zeus.

Second, weather was getting colder and colder day by day and hands were falling completely numb during morning commute and night

With the kind of ventilation you have mentioned how do you find it warm enough to wear while riding in winters ?

The structure altogether is kept well and classy with very neat stitching.

Indeed they look clean. I will be curious on future comments from you over the comfort offered by this product on hours of continuous riding, specially because the stitching is on the inside at the fingers. And pre-curved fingers sound real good.

except for the pinky finger, which has got 3 layers of leather as abrasion and impact protection. The prime area of impact and abrasion on the palm is layered with Kevlar Layer. The Kevlar is sandwiched between a dense rubbed padding which covered by the exterior leather layer and another Leather Layer as underlay. This padding extend up to the side of the palm and finishes near to the pinky finger.

Buddy, are you sure about 3 layers for the little finger ? And Kevlar at such pricing sounds fishy !!

Anyways it felt good to find some fresh words on Zeus as this brand is yet to catch the big limelight in the hood

I hope the matt black fabric on the side of the pinky finger has some sorts of leather underneath because my experience with this particular fabric has not been good.

Its not fabric dear, its leather. Buffed leather to be exact. It has got 2 more layers underneath. So I guess, its a good point.

re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

Do i have any option for medium/full gauntlet NON-leather gloves ?
I know leather gloves are good from safety point of view, but i am against the use of leather, coz it's made from Animal skin

The Spidi Striker H2OUT is a good vegan glove

They are built using Nylon, Neoprene and Spandex.

Re: ZEUS Highway Rider Gloves - Short Term Review

THIS REVIEW IS DIVIDED IN 2 PARTS!!!


I now headed for trying the above mentioned 3 out in my town. To be honest, none of the shop in my city keeps a ready stock for any of the above mentioned gloves (AHMEDABAD IS NOT A GOOD PLACE TO BUY GEAR). So I was left with nothing but a blind buy by calling up the respective manufacturers. Following the events, I even dropped the idea for about a week. Finally, one fine day I started calling up the manufacturers and in between was introduced to Spartan Gears and Zeus Gears by Google. The responses from the respective manufacturers are as follows:

Ahmedabad actually had some really good places to buy riding gears from but the lack of awareness, lack of numbers and above all lack of knowledge and knowhow in the local crowds has either forces these places to shut shop or severly downgrade else start selling stuff that the Junta require (Read as cheap counterfeit stuff).

100 % agree that fakes rule the market. I bought a Fox Knee Guard and Pro Biker gloves. I have been on 3 rides wearing them and the knee guards a torn from inside. I by mistake stepped on the gloves and the knuckles broke.

If possible you can try out Anvari Automobiles in Vadodara. They deal in DSG gear and a few others as well.

You are spot on, Ahmedabad had that charm long ago. But even then I would say, the shopkeepers and the owner were there just to sell, not really knowing anything about their products. Infact today also, there are many showrooms, shops, but they refuse to even clean their shop and offices everyday. Now you tell me, would you really prefer going to such a place? They literally blow a thick amount of dust in front of you from the products, and god knows since when those products were like that. That pretty much sums up the experience. So far in my experience only one shop faired well in all the aspects.

Just out of curiosity would you mind naming that shop so that other fellow bikers may take note of that.

I am sure I must be knowing the guys.

I had no idea. That's a sorry state of affairs here. However, hopefully it's going to change soon, looking at the awareness of fellow bikers nowadays.

Yep, best to avoid such places. The neatest shop I was at was Helmet : Riders Shop @ Shivranjini cross roads. Very neat place, as is the case however, the seller is very helpful, but ill informed (or maybe that is because of the market demands).
