Not a good choice for touring down south, but for track only important thing is protection and this seems to be good at that. Had a look at other boots at that price range, they are comfortable but don't offer good protection.

Recently, I got Draggin motorcycle jeans and Knox knee guard presented by my children. I am yet to wear them on a long ride. Already, I have Cramster jacket and gloves. Henceforth, I will be safer during my long rides.

Hello Guys,
I have one question... May be funny, I am looking for riding pants, But my question is if one wear those riding pants for long trips like 20 days or so. Wearing same pants surely develop some kind of infection. So what is precedure of wearing those riding pants for long rides.
Cheers

Nothing funny. Looking for pants myself. Good question. Quick dry, maybe?

re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

You have no option but to wash them. On tours, my Spartan ridding pant (made from cordura fabric) had started smelling quite obnoxious by day five. But the good news is that it doesn't take very long for the pant to dry.

re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

Hi guys, I recently purchased 'TBG Street' gloves, my first leather riding gloves so thought of writing down a short term ownership/buying experience....
...

---There is a sort of pocket under the knuckle protector which I use to store money before I go to refuel so that I don’t have to remove the gloves and search for my wallet :P (I don’t know the actual purpose of this pocket, probably it provides flexibility to the glove when you curl your fingers).

....

Overall I am very satisfied with these gloves though it is priced a bit on the higher side. Please feel free to ask any questions about these gloves

Oh, yes the abrasion resistance of good old leather is unparalleled. Also, during a high speed slide on you nylon gloves and they melt and get stuck and causes huge trouble.
I think this was released some time during the end of last year and I was delighted to see a glove at this price that comes with palm sliders. They are totally worth it.
Being leather, I doubt it would be water proof. It is smarter to have another pair on hand in case it gets wet because it will take a bare minimum of 1 whole sunny day to dry up (my scorpion sgs takes around this time). And do not dry them up with a blower as that might affect the shape of the gloves. The little pocket there, which you have put to use in your own way, is, as you guessed, for the movement of the knuckle protection. Older gloves didn't have those and that meant freedom of finger movement was restricted. Also, maintain them with leather cleaners (Hush puppies have them) every 6 months to keep them going for a longer time.

Also, once you are used to the gloves, you will feel a pain to ride without them on. Gloves not only protect but also make the ride easier.

Safe riding

I was reading about these yesterday and there was an article where Dupont said that out of 180 brands only Draggin passed actual safety tests.
I wish I could buy them somewhere in India.

Wrangler have riding jean called silver shield jean that can be worn without washing for long times without worrying about infection. The problem is that I am not sure whether they have any kind of protection in them like Kevlar or Cordura.

i highly doubt that they will have proper safety measure.

they are a style brand. :P

where there is style, there is almost always no safety.

Hi guys,
I want to buy a pant, should be textile(mesh), and should have all the protectors and knee sliders.
Is there any such pant?

[thunderRider]

re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

Just wanted to mention that this woodland shoe
is damn uncomfortable for riding. the BIIIG ridge at the bottom of the sole makes it very difficult for me to put my leg on the foot pegs and change gears or apply brake.

im thinking to sell these [olx/quikr :P] and get either this:


or this:



what say??

Actually wrangler did come with a protective jeans a couple of years back.

I first thought they put in this silver thing over these to keep them fresh but looks like these are just plane jeans with silver and no protection (unless you are eaten by a warewolf and the silver kills the warewolf or something :P )! As you said, useless !
