re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread
Thanks for that info, I think I will be checking the jackets at stores if I find them and then go ahead.

The cramster flux is cheaper still Rs 1650. Is made of perforated leather and nice for city use. The Helios I think is built for decently built people. It looks and feels great and has reliable armours in the Knox protectors. Problem is regular/lean guys would have a problem with the fitting, especially the arms. The sleeve has generous breadth meaning someone well short of bulging biceps/forearms would find the elbow protector sliding around even with the fasteners adjusted to their max level.Not meant for sissies 
. I am 5'9" and the size M fits well around the shoulders but the elbows are another thing. Looking at your weight of a paltry 62 Kgs(especially given your height) I am sure the Helios won't fit you in the arms. You'd definitely realize it once you try it on. I was at Moto 101 , Bandra last weekend. Went there looking for the Helios , but realized the elbows are ill fitting. Settled for the Icarus, which is much more conpact and well fitting for my built. Obviously I miss out on the Knox armours but it's around 2K less too. I think for your built, icarus L would be a perfect fit. PS : I think it also depends on what kind of bike you ride, If you ride ,say an R15 or GT 250R, then a bit of loose arms(though not too loose as you never know what position you'd be in while you kiss the ground 
) would be beneficial as you'd crouch a lot. The Icarus would be constricting there. But for a naked bike with upright position, a snug and compact fit is fine. Sent from my GT-S5360 using xBhp Connect mobile app Head for linking road Bandra. Ask for KFC on linking road. Take the left turn(if you are coming from hill road) and then the first right.
