      that jacket is good if u r a stunter, for normal street riding Y don't u rather go for a standard A* or Joe Rocket it'll cost u 10 - 11k..
      P.S.: go for Joe Rocket.. u might get it for less than 11 for sure.. mostly used by SBK riders here in Mumbai

            As for the sizing, measure the inner side of your palm with a soft measuring tape, from the base of the palm to the tip of the middle finger. Mine is 17-18cms and size 'M' gloves fit me just fine.
            Hmmmm.....I cant seem to understand how the Ark and Vector differ from the Primals.Duhhh.....in any case my hands are size 20cms so I guess Large it is.
            Which ones do you guys suggest? The Ark gloves look good though.

              ^^i tried the M and L versions of the Ark type gloves today. There isnt much difference between the two. I found both to be quite comfortable. The XL is noticeably larger. Since your hand measures 20cms I would suggest an XL size, but I havent really measured the XL size gloves. So do get in touch with DSG and see what they can do. The L size just might fit you, you know!

                          I have these same gloves (gauntlets) but are not the DSG ones. These are really good, and very comfortable. Initially, you might not feel that way, but once you start using them regularly, it really becomes second nature to wear it each time. It is comfortable, not to mention inspires confidence too.
                          :)

                            BTW I am adding an old pic of my friend wearing some of my gear. We wanted to try some in-house photos. Plus, I wanted get some logo/watermarks done too. Let me know how the logos came out, cause I'm still new to photoshop.

                                Aah! Those are the DSG Armortek Gloves. They aren't the gauntlet style. They were available until just a few months ago. Purchased them through the site itself in September. They went off the product range somewhere around October-November.

                                I'm lucky to have gotten them. Because the leather used is really good. They are slightly similar to the Angels Racing Hooligan gauntlet in terms of the design of the metal parts. And the price was a meagre Rs. 1,494 including shipping!
