  • Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

    Hey,

    Can anyone suggest me a summer riding glove with good protection? I already have one pair of Cramster tundra but that's best for winter use only. Love driving with proper riding gloves.

    Have just looked on Cramster FLUX but little apprehensive on it. Please suggest!
    Budget: Rs 2500

          I suggest you to look at these Puma riding boots ( Riding Boots, PUMA - ROADSTER V3 GORETEX )
          they are also GoreTex. Its a seal for that price.

            1. DSG Evo
            2. Spartan Ascimitar Transition
            3. Cramster Breezer 2.0
            4. Spartan Scimitar Strike
            5. DSG Nero

            My problems start here - I am not being able to decide as to which would have the best insulating and keep dry capabilities. Every site says bla bla bla however sometimes the reality is totally different. The last thing I want is spend the money on something which is said to be waterproof and is not.

            Also, my glove budget is about 2 - 3 K. Possible we could get a good pair of waterproof and insulated gloves within this budget ?

            I need to buy in Delhi so a few stores would be helpful. I know Ryderz Planet at Ghitorni, Chopra Automobiles and Bachoo Motors in KB. Any others would be really helpful.
            Lol... 169 views... Not a single reply.. Mod please close this thread...

            Closed in on DSG Primal and most probably Breezer 2.0 or the EVO. Lets see.

              I have been using evo for one year, it's a decent riding jacket at it's price. Rain liner is not up to the mark.

              I am using cramster blaster gloves, good leather gloves with sufficient ventilation. Once threading was off on one of the fingers of LHS gloves.

                Do check out LS2 V2 jacket at veekay in karol bagh.
                Price - arnd 7k
                I am using V1 it for last 6-7 months.
                It got waterproof and thermal lining.
                I've tried it in all type of condition (cold,rain,hot)

                And there are some really good leather gloves from cramster(dont know the name) priced at around 3k you can get it from veekay or chopra.

                  Yeah bro.. I did check out the LS2 jacket today in the shop next to Chopra, really liked the build on that one. Btw, i got myself DSG Revive. I did try on the Cramsters he had but somehow there was something not right in the fit, maybe just me. But the moment I wore the Revive it was PERFECT. Fit my hand like second skin if you know what i mean.

                            Hi,
                            I am looking for a riding pant that I can use in summers here in Delhi. My preference is mesh over textile as mesh would be better in scorching heat in summers of Delhi. The only option I have found in mesh is Aspida Proteus. I have also checked riding pants made by Rynox (Raid) and I think this is a better value for money and has more features but it's not in mesh. Are there more options available than Proteus? Also, does anyone know if Rynox Raid would be good in summers as I am more inclined towards that?

                            Thanks!

                              Nayan, I am using Cramster Twister for last 10 months. Quite happy with them. No sweat even in peak summers. I think they have better knuckle protection than FLUX.
