    Hi, that's impressive! And I needed the confirmation about the extra zero

    Having gotten my first pair (ever!) of TBG Street gloves recently (~2000kms), I was wondering how you maintained your gloves. I am aware of a couple of detailed threads in the forums talking about riding gloves maintenance. But a hint into your personal methods may teach us kids a thing or two.

    Thanks!

The gloves was good enough to spare me with just a wrist bone fracture in 2013. Despite all that, IMHO, Spartan Ares is kind of benchmark to all gloves in local market, a very super VFM product.


        So the next question comes as why not another Ares? Two main things...
        1. Urge to explore other brands
        2. I'm in little hurry to get one amidst of several other work


        So took a chance (risk) to buy another gloves. After my experience with Rynox AirGT...I'm little apprehensive; though my friends were suggesting TBG, I'm reserving it for my next shopping. So the only option known & left to me is from Bikingbrotherhood.


        I'm fully aware that they make replicas of any brand & they claim their 20 years of experience with race track, I decided to try them; I also had a chance to see their BB Ladakh jacket & their armors, definitely better than Rynox AirGT. I got M size & the fitting is superb, not as good as my A* but fits my hands as good as Spartan Ares. But will it last long & compete with Spartan Ares? Only time will tell until then...


        Thanking old companion

          Hello everybody!
          Just needed to know the riding jackets available in the 7-8K range.
          Already used the spartan helios and the Rynox tornado pro. Had very bad experience with the Rynox specially even after changing 2 jackets as replacement. Can anyone suggest any better one?

            Try TBG ADVbreed. It costs Rs.7950 and comes with CE level 2 armour. Could you tell me what experience did you have with rynox tornado pro? I own the same jacket.

              Thanks! Was thinking about the same. Any other which can be considered?

              Rynox, first one had stitching problems and the second replacement has zipper issues. Both were used less than 15 days.

                Consider Aetos Sport Jacket by zeus, it also comes with CE level 2 armors.
                Also Did you mail rynox about it?

                            Even I have heard that they have a considerably good after-sales support. Did you try writing an e-mail to them directly ? I guess they have a dedicated e-mail address for customer complains as mentioned on their website- [email protected]. Try this mode, it may be faster.

                            And do let me know what happens as even I own a Rynox Jacket.

                              Thanks for the constant help. Surely will write to them now. I hope i get the cash back. Not willing to get a replacement anymore.
                              Are you facing issues too?
