    Ok I get it now. If there is enough pressure to keep the hydration pack at a same place, no need to have a lock or hook of any kind.

      I bought a 2L hydration bladder from Ali Express for hardly 7$. Delivery within 3-4 weeks.
      Do check it out if you're planning to buy one.
      Great savings.

        • Jacket with sweat and rain protection

          Hello All,

          I tried checking threads but no luck.
          I need urgent suggestion. I sweat a lot because heavy non vegetarian diet [emoji215] [emoji214] and can't figure out if I should buy a jacket or no and if yes which one.
          Also I ride in rainy season to work which should protect me if possible.

          Please help me on this one because not getting proper direction from others.
          I ride a bullet 350 and which can protect me but because I sweat [emoji26] , it makes very discomfort to me and also in rains in rain coats it still sweats [emoji25] .

          Moderators please help me get some suggestions.

            Which one? Go for a 'maximum mesh' jacket. That's the best you can do in terms of airflow.

            Which brand? Read this thread. Then, visit some stores and try.

            Sweating in rain coats? Can't have a rain coat that doesn't allow water in, but allows air in, right? Jackets with rain liner will help you RESIST light rains. If it is drizzling, try your luck with rain liner and jacket. If it is heavy, only then put on the raincoat over the jacket. Carry office clothes in a bag and wear them after reaching.

            All of us sweat. We are a country of sweaty people (and spitting!). We just have to manage in the best way possible.
            That's the best I knew it as well... Thought there are some other solutions in market which I may not be aware....thanks for the suggestions[emoji41]

                    [MENTION=74351]Pritesh Patel[/MENTION]- for the jacket In my advice,
                    Scan the hell out of this thread.You will get loads of info here.
                    Narrow down few Brands and makes,and then visit the local dealer and try it out.

                    Do not purchase the jacket online,as per my observation the size differs from brand to brand.

                    for the gloves,try out the Rynox Kombat,price is a bit shy of 3K
                    but provides excellent ventilation and a snug fit.
