    Please let me know your opinion. If they are good or not. Can I use it for touring,
    there are multiple companies offering such stuff. have you checked all of them ?

    DSG
    Cramster
    Zeus Gear etc

    have you check all of them.
    check bachoomotors too. they have good stuff for same price range that you are looking into.

    as you mentioned touring. i would suggest something better than all of these... that is Scocyo Jacket. you will get it for 6k odd and ists one heck of a touring jacket scoyco JK-27
    for gloves take leather full gauntlet ones. you have them in spartan , dsg , zeus and even rynox.

    fr riding pants too check Bachoo motors. and i would suggest you to buy boots first if budget is limited and later pick up pants. as an replacement for pants for the time being you can use knee guards.

          Hi guys,

          I am looking to purchase touring gloves before winter.
          My budget would be 5k and can push it 1k in case in the option deserves it.
          I should be able to use it in Winter and should be comfortable for touring.
          I Was browsing through Alpinestars options available in India and found this: Alpinestars Masai Black Gloves, priced at 6K.
          I do not see any reviews for this one. So, if any of you have used it, please let me know.
          Also, if you have any other suggestion, you are most welcome.

          Thank you

            dude those are mesh gloves suited for summers..
            check planetdsg , bachoo motors , cramster, sparatan progear and egt any full gauntlet full lether gloves. will suffice for indian winters and long haul touring as well and offers best protection. if you have budget for 6 k and you can manage to get something from states..

            else many options in joe rocket , icon patrol , agv sports , cortech , scorpion etc...

              Anyone here has experience with the TBG gloves from let's gear up? Apparently it's their in house brand and the full gauntlet ones are priced at 4k. Want to know if they are worth the money

              Comment


              • best full gauntlet "made in india" ?

                starting from back say 2012 i got Alpinestars GP Plus.. rubbed them every single day and they lasted me well over 30k kms. which is pretty decent as they were not cared off much. given the dollar price rise and more commitments i could not get back to new GP plus as they are well over 12 grands... also i wanted to check out what cheaper gloves were like and so ordered Joe Rocket Highside 2.0 in a deal for 28 $.. thats like 1800 bucks... . Friend carried them from states.

                after i took them in my hand i still feel embarrased . my wife looked at them and asked if we have become that poor to buy gloves like these
                so coming back. i am a big fan of full leather construction and full gauntlet style of gloves. those highside will see a dustbin soon i guess.

                Query : which full gauntlet is best available from dsg vs cramster vs rynox vs sparton vs etc etc.

                budget : strict 3k why ? - for 4k plus/ 80$+ i can get decent full gauntlet from joe rocket/ cortech / scorpion abnd many other brands and after using and seeing their build quality i have no doubt invest money on those..

                so just for the "made in india" and if i can get some value for money stuff locally i would like to try it out before i venture into "phoren stuff " again...

                  Hello everyone, anyone is here using riding boots from Royal Enfield? Its 100% leather, not ventilated. Longer one costs 6.5k. If anyone is using can you please share the riding experience in terms of comfort and during normal walking? And any other options in this price range? Suggestions please..

                    AFAIK the only full gauntlet gloves you would get here within 3k are the Cramster TRG2. I have got pretty good first hand reviews for these gloves - only if their outlets treated customers better I would be owning one already.

                    Otherwise, Spartan Ares too have got some rave reviews, though those would be 3.5k approx I think. N then you have TBG full gauntlet for 4k.

                      Can vouch for Spartan Ares FG. Nice ones. Although, a couple of stitches came off after the first ride.

                          • Protective Riding Jacket.

                            Hello everyone. I'm looking forward to buy a jacket (with armour) for my elder brother, who's been riding since quite some time and touring around the country as well, without a proper protective jacket. Since I'm on a budget, I am surfing through some RJays' jackets but I'm not sure if they'd be reliable. I needed suggestions on which jacket should I go for. I can spend 8.5k-9k (maximum). I'm not adamant on buying RJays only. I will go for whatever brand and model y'all suggest. And armour is a must too, but I could settle down for protective paddings as well.

                              I was looking for Viaterra claw on a reputed online shopping site and. I am getting some discount on it. but I am not sure if I will get the waterproof cover with it. Wanted to check if any of you have any such experience.Thanks

                                Can someone please comment on Rjays Swift vs SPG Helios & the Cramster breezer?? What could be the denier count of the Helios & breezer 4s??

                                The Swift is cheaper than the Helios. However, I'll be picking my jacket soon from a local shop here in Hyderabad. So someone here with some inputs on the availability of the jacket will be awesome.. I'm more inclined towards the Helios now due to the high number of users base here..

                                Like @Doga advised earlier, I'll be fixing strictly to mesh since my riding is city only.

                                ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                I am also looking for a nice pair of gloves. something that's up for the Hyderabad heat.
                                Please provide me with some good info here. Again I'll be buying the gloves after I visit the store locally from where I'll be buying the jacket. I don't want anything too expensive.. but good looking and good protection.. so what do you think about the SPG Phaeton?? I like the Ares tho.. other brands if better than these are also welcome since I'm completely new and I rely on your expertise & experience..


                                (Orange Helios with Orange Phaeton.. What do you think?? )
