Approved and merged!

Please do a grammar check once before posting. RE jackets are more of a show business IMO. Didn't feel anything very good about them.

Nope to any RE branded wearables or accessories.

Just a show off. They have low durability.

re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

And since you'll travel 1000kms, make sure you have a list of jackets. Try them all out. And helmets and balaclavas and gloves. Everything that you wanna.buy. if you cant buy all at once, note down your favs and order one by one. Thats what I'm doing. [emoji6]

Has anyone heard/tried/tested the gears by Bikingbrotherhood Gears ? I'm seeing a lot of their products via FB feeds, but don't know anyone who has tried/used/using them.

re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

Hey guys, finally got my medium size Spartan Icarus exchanged for a medium sized Helios. The medium Helios is a better fit than the Icarus for my body type.

Also, the Spartan branding on the jacket has been replaced by 'Aspida' which is their international brand name and from now all Spartan products will sport an 'Aspida' tag instead of 'spartan'!

I bought the Aspida Helios! :P

Just the branding on the jacket had been changed to 'Aspida' wherever 'spartan' was present.

Actually the Aspida Helios was launched with the Revision 2.13 model of the Helios. It features a new wrist cuff design and straps, which allow better wrist strap adjustment. All other specs and features remain the same.

As SPG has already begun operations in Sri Lanka and is moving into Indonesia in January 2015, the company had registered international trademarks to protect itself in the new markets. All new SPG apparel products will henceforth carry the new branding. The now familiar sigma logo which is already copyrighted internationally will however continue to adorn all SPG products.

Looks awesome and awkward at the same time .wrt the red one.
Kinda like the sparx helmet design I have.But then the black one is just sober.
Either ways Icon Airmada is highly ranked helmet I believe.price wise as well if you are getting it from the US.

thank you..

1) SPG Icarus - One of my close friend use this one. Quality is good and a rain liner is provided along with it. Comes in full black option. Good quality mesh and spartan quality assurance. Most of the people who have it swear by it's quality and are very satisfied customers.

2) Cramster 4S - I use this exact model. Quality is (personal POV) better than Icarus. Mesh holes are smaller yet very well ventilated. Comes in red,green and grey option. Most of the people write off cramster as a low quality brand but take this from an owner - it's the best VFM out there.
3) No idea

Last but not the least, Listen to everyone, but do what you feel is correct. Try each of these personally and buy whichever suits your requirement and budget.
