      My Tornado Pro Jacket is doing absolutely superb. I am posting this at an ungodly hour else would have accompanied this with a photo. However I shall do it soon.

      If you take my opinion into consideration, I highly recommend the Tornado Pro buddy

      [QUOTE=rahlp;1161899]I have checked the Rynox Air jacket.. didnt like it for some reason.

      I liked the Tornado Pro.. any reviews on Rynox jacket?

      ----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

      The Air GT does not come with Knox Armors however they do come with authentic CE approved armors. If you can increase your budget a but I would highly recommend you to go for the Tornado Pro- Simple reason Knox armors + Thermal + Reissa Water Proof attachment at 7K.

          It's been 7 years that i've been complaining about this spelling error.

          I've reported my own post regarding this matter about a half dozen times.

          It's Riding Gear NOT Riding Gears.
          Haha Grammar Nazi!

                        Buy riding pants...much better investment. You get rain liner knee protection and comfort too which you wont get in jeans or cargos.

                          +1 on the comfort bit. In jeans, my leg sides start getting sore in about an hour or so.
                          With riding pants, the side padding is good for 500kms. at least!
                          Not to forget that protectors rub against the skin and it gets quite troublesome after a while.

                          Beyond that, need to look at gel seats or something...

                            After careful thought about my riding routine, my preference would be the full-gauntlet type, however all suggestions are welcome.
                            I live in Mumbai (Thane, to be more specific) and generally ride to office and back. Never got a chance to tour yet, but as soon as I do, I'll be off in a giffy. :P Anyway, back to the important details - I do not intend to ride much in the rain and hence, am in no need of waterproof gloves, but a decent (read 'tolerable') balance of ventilation in the summer and shielding from cold winds in the winter would be desired. It may be noted that most of my riding would be in the winters. I generally don't ride for over an hour (it doesn't take that long to get to office) but yes, I do cover a good stretch of highways in the process, hence the full-gauntlet preference.
                            Please do enlighten me as to what options I should consider, as I've stormed the internet and come across a lot of gloves from DSG, SPG, Cramster and Rynox, and I'm completely confused. Do let me know about the Pros and Cons of the pair you suggest. Thanks!

                            you can try this bravo full gauntlet

                            BRAVO- GLOVES

                            i am using solace bravo gloves good quality with reasonable pricing but many of the bikers don't have idea as marketing of the brand is not there

                                There are just two options

                                1) Cramster
                                2) solace -

                                Both similar priced at around 5500/-

                                After the price hike in all Aspida products i wont recommend it to any one...tough they are good...but don't justify the price tag.
