Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread
Hey guys, I'm planning to buy my first gear (Jacket and gloves).
I'm an extremely slim guy (48kg) so I'm curious to know which brands would provide me a snug fit; as in the armor is secured where they are supposed to be.
I live in Goa so I doubt the small size jackets will be available for trial. Can any slim guy confirm which jackets he had found to fit better?
Also my palms sweat, so will all leather gloves deteriorate faster due to moisture from my sweat?

Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread
I'd suggest you look at a race-spec leather suit then. There are 2-piece suits too, so when you don't want the pants you could just ride with the jacket.Originally posted by Shourya014 View PostWhatever it may be. Mesh over leather. No mesh. Its better if protects me. I can sweat but dont want to bleed. It should just save me thats all i want

My riding jacket buying experience
After a lot of research for a mesh jacket around 7k, I decided Rynox Tornado Pro.
These were the top contenders -- DSG Genesis - 8k
- Rynox Tornado Pro - 7.1k
- Zeus All Terrain
- Rynox Air GT - 5.5k
- Scimitar Transition - 5.5k
I was expecting to get it at Chopra Automobiles, Karol Bagh this Sunday. But they had just 5XL with them.
Decided to go to Adventure 18, Shantiniketan, they too didn't have a L. M was smaller and XL too large. Bad luck.
Tried a lot of jackets at Chopra's and loved the fit of Scimitar Transition the best. It checks almost all the right boxes and @sman999 has done a great review here.
I personally loved the jacket and its on a little lighter side. Got the back protector replaced by a Tornado Pro's because it didn't mention CE. Got it for 5200/-

Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread
Get a Rynox Air GT or Tornado pro as your budget is not a constraint.Originally posted by philip.gunner View PostBudget 8k jacket, 2k gloves.
Jacket will be used in city only, so mesh jacket is preferable.
For the gloves again, for 2.3K you have a good Rynox gloves. Check their website.
