      Remove armors, soak in soap water, scrub off tough stains with a soft brush, rinse, don't squeeze out water, let it drip dry on a hanger.
      SOP for all riding gear (textile).

        Mine: No it was not because of a fall or accident. You may call it as wear & tear or quality issues.

          However, I would still like to go for the same pair again, Flux gives good comfort for city use. Could someone help me find a pair gloves that looks quite similar and gives extra cushion for the palm area?
          I have ordered the same gloves from www.outdoortravelgear.com. It seems decent enough for city riding. Coming to your point regarding the tear, I guess since its the clutch hand and we tend to use that hand more than the throttle hand, I guess it has torn off, but still within a year is something not acceptable as I have DSG Revive gloves, which I have been using for more than 2 years and it doesn't show any signs of wear.

            Looks like you are riding naked Kwaker and the best tourer. I ride super sport, I realized this is not the gloves I'm going to get again even for city ride... Good Luck 😉

              For city rides i recently bought a pair of rynox rampage pro. Solid build and really comfortable with a combination of a little mesh and vents. Try those.

                  Even with water proof gloves some water does manage to get in.
                  This works very well in extremely cold riding conditions like the Himalayas. It gives riders the flexibility of using their all weather gloves in monsoons and winters.

                    Yup kanth .. totally agree with you on the DSG Revive. Mines a year and half with no sign of wear and tear. Wear it very regularly.

                      I think we may escape cold very well, but if we use those pure leather gloves in rains then our hands might not get wet but leather quality will deteriorate and for dye leathers- colors may fade off.

                      • Monsoon Gear

                        With the monsoon already in Mumbai , the need for protection against getting drenched is a must. But the bigger question is which rain gear. Do we go for the normal Rain Suits (Pant/Jacket) or do we go for the more expensive riding suits.

                        I am planning on the rain suit by DuckBack as it has been serving its purpose for a good 5 years and have finally given way. So its time for a new one
                        So now the question is which one to get ??? Need help on this
                        Budget is 1k~1.5k

                            I use rain pants and rain jacket by quechua, got it for around Rs. 1200 from decathlon

                            The rain pants do a good job and water doesn't get through , the jacket on the other hand keeps you dry but the zipper doesn't go upto the neck completely so when riding a little water gets in from there and causes a small wet patch near the chest but other than that its pretty good. Tested in heavy rain when riding.

                            Rain Jacket

                              How is the ventilation. Due you sweat a lot if its not raining but still if you wear it?

                                Exactly the other issue - getting wet even if no rains due to sweat
