      Any mesh construct riding jacket will have airflow, e.g. Spartan ProGear has Helios (Spartan ProGear) and DSG Aero are Indian mesh ones.
      and dude, buy from authorized sellers to avoid 'a b c d' copies. Simple!

        Even authorized dealers sometimes sell fake products that is the reason i was asking how will i know whether the jacket is original or not

              Their own brand eh ? Sounds interesting..!

              But a short boot ? Isn't it almost next to useless or not close to as functional as a full length boot ? and yet so costly ?

                  The ACHILLES is an all Cordura jacket with openable vents. It is better suited for cooler climates. The HELIOS is a complete mesh all weather jacket very suited for blistering summers. Both jackets are very close in terms of features, armours, etc. and priced similarly too.

                        Hey Aditya , if you are looking for mesh jacket then check out the cramster breeze 4.0 its just for 5500₹ and if you can stretch your budget a little by 1k thn I wil suggest u spg Helios, its a very nice jacket , hav Knox armour.
                        Whatever you buy just make sure it fits perfectly to your body .

                            Thank you Sagar for your suggestion. But in some reviews I found that Cramster is not so good in terms of finish, when compared to spartian. But I have not seen personally.. And yes I am looking for mesh jackets only

                              The Helios ticks all the boxes in your list.
                              Nice rain liner, good air flow for summers, superb armor and high quality mesh and cordura layering. Also a handful of useful features are there.

                              I guess you can go ahead and get that.

                              Cheers

                                NEWS!


                                A new retail chain of motorcycle helmets, gear, apparel and accessories stores is opening across India called MOTO 101. This is a multi-brand chain which will sell several different brands all under the same roof, with uniform pricing throughout the country. Bikers will get proper printed invoices and warranties that are applicable from the manufacturers at all the stores of this chain. The first store opened in Chennai in end-Feb, and the second just opened in Pune. Bangalore and Mumbai are planned next.


                                SPG has tied up with this company for all-India retail, which means that the entire SPG range of helmets and apparel is available at these stores. Since it is a multi-brand retail concept, they already have products from other brands too. Expect to see lots of new stuff coming out soon!


                                Have posted the same in the helmets thread.
