Universal : Riding Gear Thread

[neil.jericho]

@ inder, are you sure the Maze is 5500 bucks ? I am dead cert that its 6k here. I have a feeling that many a page ago someone was talking about the Maze and they too quoted 6k.
What about colours for the Maze ? I only saw a full black one. Are other colours available ? Orion is jam packed with riding gear(pleasant surprise), they even had the big riding boots that are going for 16 - 18k.

The only product with a price difference is the Alpinestar Raven gloves, the store is selling them at 3k (which is the old price on the site), now the site is selling them for 2400 bucks.

My bro ordered the black DSG Ark Gloves (DSG Ark Gloves : Black - Rs2,600.00) for 2600 bucks which is currently out of stock. While checking the site today I came across the DSG Vector gloves (DSG Vector Gloves - Rs2,750.00) for Rs 2750. Feature wise they both look the same, does anyone have any idea whats the difference between the 2 models ?

The guy at Orion was saying that the Black Ark might come in the next delivery which is expected to be in 9 days time. Will pick it up once he gets the piece. Lets see when it comes ...

the online site does not have much display i saw a catalog with balaji helmets, that catalog had even more gloves to choose from for alpinestar

^^^ nice jacket, how good is it for the mumbai heat ??
also i feel the RJs shld also b good for summers. but costly by 2.5k

[Mindgrinder]

Should it be any less? Do they sell for lesser in the DSG Pune store?

i dont know about pune store, but they quote same as website and no bargains.

@rakhsup - Is it manageable in this weather? While trying it out I got the feeling that it would be pretty hot inside it this summer. Were other colours available ? Cant see the image cause its blocked in office.

@Chilled, Neil : Thnks. Foto Attached. Yes this can very well be used in Summers and has got good ventilation through the mesh lining (much more than any other jackets i have seen), you will have to remove the inner liner though.

They had one with full black color. But then again full black meaning more heat.

If you are commuting daily and less touring then i would suggest this jacket. But if you are a more of tourer then go for the Spike jacket.

Not sure about the RJs but may be Calvin or Darknight can advise you as they have the black RJs.

Cheers

Rakshup, Thanks for the short review buddy.
Like chilled, I am badly searching for a riding jacket , that can cater for daily cummuting in Pune-Mumbai summers.
If DSG have stock of Blue Maze ones, I will go for it.

Mr. Vijay told me that some new models are arriving.Also new gloves are coming. So wait for them. Or just call him.

Thanks Rakhsup...the jacket looks really good. It's a good thing for Pune guys to get their hands on the stuff. Others have to wait for the DSG site to get updated.

BTW, any reasons for commending against this jacket for touring?

dsg's have more heat inside the jacket..
Rjays r the most meshed ones with even the pockets being meshed.Inner lining has to be removed though atleast in summers.
ride daily to office ,no issues whatsoever
fiting wise rjays are better options for lean frames and similarly dsg's for broader ones.
7.5 k is good investment as for the past 6 months (including 1 accident) no considerable wear & tear .
