        Sorry Mr. Krishna But I never heard about TBG from anywhere. Are you related to TBG ?? As I heard several marketing comments for tbg from you.

          Lol, I understand your confusion.
          I am not related to TBG, But I do write reviews, so i had purchased a TBG Glove from them, review link in my signature, and it turned out to be a good glove, considering the price point and the features it was offering, when you see good stuff you should write about it, will help others in making the right choice.
          TBG is a Bangalore based company, the guys behind it are the same guys who run the "Let's Gear Up" store.
          They are very much knowledgeable when it comes to gears as they are hardcore riders themselves, you should pay them a visit, and you will realize this first hand. I am a frequent visitor there and always check out their new products and give them feedback on it.

          Where are you based at, can't find that information on you profile details.

          Cheers

            Marketing is a big word to use. FYI customers are the basic and most important leg for marketing when a person uses a product and he has good feedback about it, he will recommend those to others. thats in itself is marketing. just like when samsung and apple users fight over which one is better and recommend the same to their friends.

            TGB is a pretty new indian grown brand (just over a year n half old) . check their products when you can. they have products for city, highway and track usage. all developed by hardcore riders and track riders. so it has a biker touch to them. i got ADV breed. the jacket is good enough for city, has a extra thermal liner and also a extra rain jacket which you can carry around. all in all at 7.9K. not to forget level 2 back protector and sas tec armours.

              For me, the best feature of the adb jacket, apart from the armors, is the quality of mesh being used. Perfect for hot summer days. A white or a lighter shade would be even better for the summer. Fit is great too. Rain liner isn't tested yet but if it works, it would be a revelation, thanks to its size and weight. It's not faultless though. Chains are fiddly. Pockets are small enough to make it a bit tight to fit a note sized phone inside it. Should've been a bit longer too imo. But I won't look further for a jacket at the price it is going. And no I'm not from tbg.

                Hello

                The options you have mentioned are good enough. And again it will depend on your style & budget.
                But you can check one new brand Solace from Bangalore. I heard the quality is nice @ low pricing.

                          Any company which is relatively new, will have only initial user reviews , to get the long term review one should wait for it long.
                          And from experience TBG has lived up to expectations in quality. What it would be in say 2 years no-body can tell.

                          My point being,just because one can't find negative review on a product which is relatively new doesn't mean people are sugar coating things, neither does it mean the product is totally perfect,many people might not be updating any bad experience they have had. So ultimately it is the user who has to trust the other users here and take the plunge.

                          But our friend Amal ,here felt that because he encountered many good things about TBG which I said in this forum, so he asked if I was affiliated with them in any way, to which I answered his question. I maintain a website where i post exhaustive reviews of all piece of equipment that I buy.So If I am found saying something good about someone, rest assured that is from a personal opinion and not being told as a favor.

                          Cheers

                                Hey..

                                I am using this aspire gloves since 2 months. I thought I’ll give the review after using it for at least 4 to 5 months. Until now there are no complaints about it. Its grip is nice & protection is up to the mark.
                                The most important thing is its price Rs. 2250/- as Spartan/zeus giving the same quality but approx 1k rupees more than solace

                                I will update if any drawback of solace aspire gloves in future. Here I have some pics of gloves for your reference. But you can visit their online store www.solaceintl.in for detailed information.
