Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

Thank you for replying.

I am looking for something that'll protect the shin as well. Will try cramster bionic knee guard.

Check the new pants by Rynox. Both the models of their pants come with Knox Knee+Shin protector. Have not seen it personally though.

Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

Can anyone provide a few suggestions on riding pants with knee sliders?

Sliders are attached to the pants with velcro, no riding pants comes like that, unless, you buy a two piece riding suit.


P.S : Planning to hit track??

Re: Which riding jacket to buy within 7-8k?

Hi friends, I am confuse as to which riding jacket to buy. My budget is 8k max. Pls suggest.
I am from Delhi and we experience extremes of both summer and winter so that should be a point to keep in mind while suggesting.
Important consideration to kept in mind- Safety, Comfort and Style
I have narrowed down to the following, but other suggestions are more than welcome:
1) DSG TRITON
2) SPARTAN HELIOS
3) ZEUS AETOS
4) ZEUS All Terrain Jacket

Please suggest which 1 to buy and don't shy away from giving other suggestions. Thank you

Do look at following options,

DSG Genesis
RJays Octane II (Its worth 9K but should suit your needs perfectly - I personally own one)
AGV Solare (Its 6.5K but more of summer jacket with lot of Mesh but quite light weight)

If you are open to spend more there are option in AStar, IXON, Joe Rocket in 12K-15K

Can anyone provide a few suggestions on riding pants with knee sliders?

If you are looking for Textile or Mesh then Komine Riding Pants Model - PK708 and PK709 but there hardly any dealers who sell these in India

Torqued Apparel and Accessories from Delhi use to sell them you can check with them OR order online from Aliexpress (Can't vouch the originality though)

Second option is to buy leather race pants which come with knee slider patch (with sliders in some) - Alpinestar, Joe Rocket, AGV are the options which are sold by DSG, Performance Racing Store

Thanks!
The Komine perforated leather one seems good. I'll see if I can find a dealer. Don't want to order online due to sizing issues.
Will check out planet dsg too.
My budget is 10k max, you know of something good in that range?

Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

Hi Guys I am planning to buy a riding jacket . My budget is around 6k . I have found Rynox Air GT and Cramster Breezer 4S fits my budget . I am one of those who sweat a little more , so more ventilation would be better. My riding would be 50% city and 50% highway.
I have heard that Rynox Air Gt rain protection is not that good. Would love to hear from people if any one here is owing it.

Also please let me know if I am missing any other good jacket in this price range?
