Bought the TBG full length riding boots from Lets gear up, worth the money I'd say:

Which are the best Knee Guards (outerwear) available online? Any reviews of the Cramster Drifter or Bionic Knee Guards?

Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

Well finally got myself a Rynox Tronado Pro jacket from the Outdoor gear shop in Bandra. I had a look at the DSG stuff and then had a look at Rynox & Cramster too.

I found DSG ones looks and feels nice, but the armour didn't feel that good and 2 jackets I saw were already having stitch issues. Infact I've a DSG gloves which also is having stitches coming off. Plus I found the pricing to be a bit steep when I compared to cramster and Rynox Hence avoided it.

I liked the Cramster jacket & for me it felt quite equal to Rynox. But I went with Rynox for it's knox armour and it kinda felt a bit sturdier than cramster.

Hope this helps others who are looking to buy a jacket, But I must add that this is my personal opinion and how I felt when comparing & I'm sure each have their own personal preference, hence don't take my word for it & check things out for yourself.

Well its been a few months & a few rides with the Rynox Jacket. Last week I'd been to Karjat for official duties & took the bike. It was all nice on the way up & the 2 day stay untill I returned on sunday. I found this to my surprise!!!!




On of the arm buttons which is for adjusting the fit has comeoff.

What can I do in this case? Should I take this back to the Outdoor travel gear at Bandra? or should I contact rynox directly? OR I can just get this done at a bag shop?

Basically want to know what are my options.

Contact Rynox, it should be covered under warranty.

Having used these boots for about 200km in city rains and highway these are the initial impressions:
- There are no pressure points within the boots, and they fit well. (At least my feet)
- Rode once in rains and though the boot is waterproof but eventually water will seep in through the top opening. Only the top part of my socks was wet and not the toe area.
- A few missed gear shifts which is common when you use a riding boot for the first time
- It is decently comfortable for walking short distances
- Build quality and stitches look neat and seems good for now, lets see how it does in the long run.

I would say that for Rs 8850 these boots are value for money as they provide toes, ankle, heel and shin protection along with replaceable toe sliders and a gear shift patch. Most of these features are found in boots above 10k. (correct me if I am wrong)
A few pics of the boots: (sorry for the low res pics)

replaceable toe slider:

Velcro and zipper for fastening (as is the norm in most full length boots):

TBG claims 100% waterproofing:

Interestingly these look almost a replica of the ARMR boots I almost ended up buying with only slight changes.
The price is same in the UK:

ARMR Moto Montegi 2 Race WP Boots - Black - FREE UK DELIVERY

At this price these do seem very slightly overpriced, as 'only' 2-3 k more can give you established brands like A* and falco.

No so aware about boots.
But for touring pants, in the current available products, spartan Odysseus is your best bet
