                        @Rohitmundra: Neat gear at a very neat price. The knee gear has good shin-protection as well with straps at many points, for support. Thats good.

                        • I had ordered the alpinestar mesh jacket from US, but it is bit small for me So I am putting it up for sale. Interested people from Pune/Mumbai can contact me. Damn I wish it could fit, considering I got the advise to get 'small' from newenogh.com.

                          FYI, I am 5'8", chest 40 waist 34, with broad shoulders, usually wear a medium. If you are bit smaller in dimensions, you will be a lucky guy!

                            1400/- is quite a decent price..!!! But, doesnt the tank get scratched as you have to wear these outside your pants(as these are Bionic ones)..??!!

                            • ^^I bought them for 3.75 plus shipping. Yeah they do scuff the tank. Since my bike is black will be putting properly cut black matt stickers on the area where it touches the tank.
                              You need to ensure you fit them real tight specially if your thighs aren't that broad when you stand/ stop in traffic. they tend to slip sometimes. But the problem doesn't arise if you fit them securely.
