      Is it usable in rains and how is the comfort in summer?

          I didn't use them in rain yet and i am bit skeptical about using them also because of the leather construction. as far as summer is concerned it was comfortable with no sweat (but do take into consideration that summer in my place is only 34 deg celsius).

          there is no such gloves in a budget to tackle both monsoon and summer (For Monsoons Try Cramster tundra or Zeus Aqua Pro)

            It's mentioned on the solace website that they aren't waterproof so i thought I'd ask if you have used in rains. Thanks for helping out.

                    i guess that means the gloves will get wet in the rain and wont keep the hands dry. but should be okay if you dry it

                        AH Helmets is authorized dealer for Spartan and Rynox and also MT Helmets I think.. I bought my Rynox Tornado Pro Jacket, Spartan/Aspida Phaeton Gloves, MT Blade and Scoyco Knee guards.

                        Yeah he also offered me those fake A* Knee guards, but he told me they are fake.

                        Here is my own experience of some piece of shady business while dealing with them.

                        1) While selling the jacket he was giving me a torn up arm adjuster button one. Even after telling him he just closed the button and said its fine now, I opened it again and it was torn. In the end I placed an order for Medium sized jacket as he didnt have another available.

                        2) Bought Spartan Phaeton Gloves from them. He sold me a old stock. I didnt check it properly. Went home and found it to be torn in one-two places and Stitching coming off. Called him up, he said bring it he will check. Took it there he said ok but replacement will take another 20 days. Just because he wanted to sell me another expensive glove. But I said ok I will wait, took a credit note. I kept checking with them for 20 days. Finally got them, but he charged me for the new pricing. I think he shouldnt have. Because it was replacement. Old pricing was 2099, new pricing 2225.

                        So my point is although they sell genuine stuff, they come out a little shady while selling you stuff. But the shop is good for Andheri suburb side. They have loads of stuff. All range of bags and Jackets from Spartan and Rynox. And lot of other stuff too.

                        Just do your research and check everything thoroughly when you buy from there and you will be good.

                        I also went to S9 Helmet once.. I didnt like the shop that much. Most of the stuff was out of stock there, they being the authorized dealers for Solace, hardly had any stuff. And he wouldnt answer properly when the stock will arrive. I was going to buy Solace Passion ended up buying Phaeton.

                            I was gonna check out S9 for purchasing solace passion gloves, any idea if i'll be able to get it in stores other than the one in mulund? like MOTO101 or outdoor travel gear?
