    Ironhorse99, You can wear the surgical gloves inside your regular riding gloves to keep your palms dry but let me warn you this will be very uncomfortable in warm weathers as there is no ventilation.
    BTW any good treated leather gloves will withstand a shower or two if allowed to dry normally in the shade. So don't see any reason for you to not wet them at all.

        Hi bmhatre, Not sure you would want to buy this. What would be your usage? 2700/- for a riding jacket doesn't instill much confidence though.

              I do have one, I also have a cramster breezer, you can see my profile pic or albums wearing same. Honestly for city ride purpose its not bad. 2700/- is a steal deal. half the price of any basic riding jacket. it can serve well just as an added protective layer for daily commute, however may be for long rides or winters it is not very good. normal casual jackets would cost about 3000, and this one has a thin basic protective armor, which might save you from minor skids or slips than wearing nothing. Would recommend as an extra layer,perhaps a first riding jacket as I did, it is also waterproof for drizzling rains (not heavy rains). for Mumbai, it would be good. If looks do matter to you at all, this jacket looks killer!! I wear it with my LS2 ff358 voltage (white black and grey combination), the helmet and the jacket look made for each other.

                    Hi Parth,
                    There is a back pocket which holds the rain liner. It's like any other rain coat. Just wear it over your jacket. It's an individual piece no fixing required. I have not used it.
                    TBG is a product marketed by "Let's Gear Up". They are a biker shop opened by a biking enthusiast couple in Bangalore. They are relatively new but have made a good reputation in the biking community for their quality products, after sales services and friendly behaviour. Just search on facebook for Let's Gear UP. You will get more info. They do ship products outside Bangalore.

                    Hi Ankur,
                    I haven't take out the armours from their slots so won't be able to show you the markings but if you search the web you might find similar pics. I understand your concern as you are not in Bangalore and won't be able to physically see the product unless you buy. But I had visited "Let's Gear Up" store and physically inspected it before buying. So they wouldn't cheat on these matters. And I personally having spoken to them don't think they would do any such thing as they are basically biking enthusiasts who are also trying to help other community members with affordable quality gears. If you have more queries you can directly call them up and get them clarified.

                        Trousers in mid-range, I am not sure bro, usually I have seen trousers above 6 to 7k. I prefer thick denim and wear elbow, knee and shin protector.

                        For added grip on roads, I prefer high grip sole in shoes. also one thing with trousers is they need to fit you perfectly otherwise might be little uncomfortable. so I wouldnt prefer buying riding trousers online.

                            Sorry Arun misread your name . Check my 3rd pic, it shows the added external shoulder guard. It's a transparent reinforced plastic/fiber padding. Look at the shoulder area, you will see it. Will try posting a better pic over the weekend.
