      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.
      thanks mate... truly very helpfull.. luckyly i can try cramster jackets in near by my town.. so will try once... then will decide ICAURUS OR 4S...

        Also, the Spartan branding on the jacket has been replaced by 'Aspida' which is their international brand name and from now all Spartan products will sport an 'Aspida' tag instead of 'spartan'!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.
        Do you mind sharing a picture sir?

        Of the new logo and all that is. If you're ok with it. Thanks.

                For summers you will need a mesh jacket for good ventilation.
                The dsg Nero is not a full mesh jacket. I have tried it out, It has zippered air slits which when opened, increase the air flow but this is still not enough for summers. The nero retails for 6500rs. At a similar price there is Spartan/Aspida Helios which is a full mesh jacket and provides best ventilation during summer. Comes with a detachable rain liner and Knox armours. I would suggest you to buy the Helios as it offers best protection for the money you pay and is a well ventilated jacket along with a few other useful features.
                The dsg evo is a newly released mesh jacket and it will offer good ventilation. It comes with a rain liner and a thermal liner for winters. At almost similar price, there is Spartan/Aspida Icarus which is also a good mesh jacket with a detachable rain liner. Both the above jackets are priced around the 5k mark.
                I haven't tried the cramster breezer and dsg triton, so can't comment on it.
                Since your budget is 8k I suggest you buy the spartan/aspida Helios.

                      Why dont you look at RYNOX Tornado !

                      Am using it since past 1 month and i should say its a very good product with damn good material quality and with a superb fit.

                      Give it a try !

                      Believe me or not i used Helios for around 18months and now am not at all interested in going back to it after using Tornado. ( If you need pics do let me know )


                      --> The mesh on Rynox Tornado is very thick and gives very good confidence and provides more safety out on highways and it comes with a single liner which act as both Thermal / Rain liner and the best thing about that liner is that you can even wear it separately without jacket

                          I too have Rynox Tornado although I bought it just a day back, so not much experience with using it. Do you think the mesh of this jacket is airy enough for summers? Today while coming to office, I was not wearing the thermal and I could not feel much air hitting my shirt. I could however feel some air hitting my arms. Also, I must add that the laptop backpack arms were covering some part of my chest.

                            This jacket doesn't allow enough air to pass through during city riding , so during summers while commuting in the city you might sweat wearing this jacket.

                            This is a good jacket for highway riding/ touring and during cold/ rainy seasons.

                                Buddy i dint use DSG jacket but i want to share my experience that i had with Planet DSG guys :

                                I bought A* gloves from them and used them for around 5 months and when the gloves started deteriorating i mailed them the same. Instead of helping they just ignored the complaint saying its miss-use and they dint even bothered to ask the cause ! So i decided not to buy from DSG any more and told my friends the same.


                                When coming to your question : I cannot compare both of them as i haven't used DSG jackets, But what i liked from Rynox Tornado is that the jacket comes with superior quality of materials and most importantly with a perfect fit to the body.
