    I am not saying you are responsible for it, but you can probably get the word to SPG guys that are responsible. Many people look for Motorcycle gear independently without visiting forums (I did the same, used Google). In that case if the website is not up to date, it will simply lose sales. I have been noticing it for quite some months now that SPG is very very reluctant as far as updating their website goes.

      i am looking to buy a knee guard. checked few options in India but i am more inclined to buy from revzilla.com. i see lot of people have ordered stuff from there earlier. so how do this works? i guess it will be better to have it delivered to a relative/Friend in US , right?

      Stuff i Have Finalized is Dainese Knee V E1 N Guards - RevZilla (Preferring due to Cat. II - EN 1621.1 Protection)
      200NS 25K kms / RE500 7k kms / Electra 30k kms / P150 80K Kms(SOLD) / i10 40k Kms (SOLD) / Tata NEXON 2K Kms

          Guys, anyone knows how to find which shell size is used in MT helmets(I mean are there any markings on it or something?)..

          Please note: I am not talking abt he helmet size which will be stamped on the back of the helmet. I am referring to the shell size..

          Thanks in advance..searched everywhere couldnt find anything on the same.

              I think you are talking about the hoody. It has CE armous. It looks like a cool looking everyday jacket and offers no or very little abrasion resitance. They are very super comfortable, light and water resistant to some extent. I find them something that one would use with short distance super slow commuting. Won't serve the purpose with anything more.<br>It is that comfy that one cannot makeout if it is a riding jacket or a jogging hoody.

                Currently which are the ones that are really good. Have a heard a few things about pants that the knee guards do not stay in place. But nothing about any specific brand.

                If anyone of you have had any good/ bad experience with any pants/brand please do let me know. I don't want to make a wrong choice, as I am sure I may not be able to purchase one again anytime soon.

                Cheers.
                Waiting for your Tornado Pro review. Maybe it will be the final step in me buying it

                      I know people who use it for exactly the same reasons, an unwilling wife Think your wife might take to it because of its looks. Yes prices are going north for TBG and Aspida for almost all the products.
                      This is one more : Spartan ProGear

                        bro, spartan just increase the prices of all the gears almost 1000k more. no idea about TBG as this is new in market & never heard much about it.
                        I came to know about TBG from you itself. I think now in market the brands which are offering reasonable pricing are cramster/rynox/solace

                          As he has told, his wife wouldn't wear one of the run of the mills jackets because of the way they look. I think there are only these 2 options for them. The SPG especially is well protected and made for women. TBG too are made for women but are not as protective. Yes cramster/rynox/solace offer good vfm on paper. Not certain about after sales/ longevity though. Rynox range looks especially nice to me.

                              yes definitely, it's again depends on the choice of the person. I also heard about rynox having a good products. cramster yes of course the first brand in the
                              indian market when nobody knows what is the riding gears?

                              But my friend have you ever try Solace?? If yes then whatever you said it is your opinion. but if no then without using it how do you come to know about the
                              quality or after sales service???

                              I am using solace sprint mesh jacket & bravo gloves & the quality is awesome & when I ask about the warranty, as the person who is responsible for it openly told me
                              that if anything will be there i can come & he will do the repair or replace it if repair is not possible. he was quite confident for his products.

                              My friend if you have not check the stuff or visit the company then don't make negative comments for any brand, first go check it out & then share your
                              opinion.

                              Because we bikers need the true views & opinions & we are not interested in any other brand name, just we require is quality,safety & pricing
                              then whoever is offering it.

                                correct amal bhai.............even i am using solace passion gloves since 9 to 10 months now but excellent quality at rs.1350 when i purchased it not i think
                                price is 1450 this brand offering good stuff but marketing is not there so that's why people don't know about it. of course without using no one should comment
                                for any other brand......................
                                well i want to purchase the bravo full gauntlet one i heard it is having good quality, any reviews if anyone used it before................
