    Why not zeus?

      I don't know if air vents would satisfy me. I live in Calcutta, its hot and humid here in summers, and i tend to sweat a lot.
      Among the mesh jackets, apart from Helios, which is a better pick?

      Well k2k is a condura jacket , mesh jackets will be good for the summer but condura will protect you better in the rain . If you looking looking for a all weather mesh jacket then check out the rynox tornado



      Helios is the best pick but it ain't no all weather jacket .

          There is hardly anyone here i saw using Zeus...only Orion from zeus comes in mesh. Check on youtube for ride with rahul he has done review on the Orion. But its other all weather jacket is full cordura good for rainy season but not good for summers.

            Rynox seems to be a better option. Rynox tornado pro, any reviews?

                        Friends this is my first post here. Have been following the thread for quite some time but still undecided. I want to buy a pair of riding gloves. Usage well be for short to long rides off city. My requirements are the gloves should be comfortable, good protection in the palm and knuckle areas, leather preferred, full or semi gaunlet. My budget is fixed at 3.5k

                        Here are a few i shortlisted:

                        1. DSG primal. Checked it physically but didn't like it too much. Not happy with the palm protection.
                        2. Rynox gloves. Not sure of the model names. Please suggest.

                        3. Cramster trg2.

                        4. TBG semi gaunlet gloves.

                        5. Anything else you can suggest.

                        Also please let me know of places in Bangalore where I can go shopping for them.


                        Thanks in advance.

                          Spartan ares is the best in that price range.

                              I did check out the jackets recomended, All looks nice. The Spartan Retro looks quite nice & probably goes well with my GT . But I'd like a more standard one which I can use even if I change my bike.

                              Anyway those Helios looks very nice.
