        • I had bought this...



          Jacket is a few months old. Have used it sparingly, done about 5-6 rides on this. Washed it for the first time last sunday.

          The zip locks have now started breaking off. One side of the thermal lining zip broke and this morning the internal pocket zip lock broke.

          So much of money for something with this quality!

          I had also bought a pair of dsg gloves, on my first ride with the, the stitch from the thumb piece joins the palm tore with on my left hand glove and this when I was using this glove for the first time!

          The product as a whole from DSG is pretty good, but the quality is not in sync with amount of money that you dish out for it!

          A big thumbs down for DSG here!

          • ^ Ah damn! And I was contemplating on getting the same jacket in a few day's time!

            As for the gloves, I have been using 'Motogear' gauntlets since the past one and a half years and it has performed marvelously! No problems whatsoever; the stiching is still as it was when I had bought it, the quality is really good.

              The stuff from DSG is good! But its better to save a bit more money and proll buy something better.

              Btw, I've not heard quality complaints from the Cramster users till date!

                    these aren't shown on the websiteoh i think blizzard & motogear are the same.

                    If so the foto on website of motogear look very nice whereas that on krp site looks weird.

                    Aryan Bro can you post actual pics of your red & Black gloves if possible.I too am looking for red & black

                      and the ones that are shown of other maked seem very shoddy
                      Yes, they are not shown on the website. I'll take a picture of my gauntlets and post them here. However, as far as the quality is concerned, they have taken whatever beating I have thrown at them, real well.

                      Even during the monsoons, I have ridden with those gauntlets on, and even then they have lasted this season! And I am sure looking at the condition of the pair, they have a long way to go before they finally give up on me.

                            Have used the Maze for about 4 months now. I have used it extensively, wearing it for about 5-6 long rides, and washed after each ride. No such quality issues.

                              I second that for maze ones my friend also has used it extensively with no visible damage as yet.
                              Can't say the same for spike jackets though.
