    Hi Sam,

    I presently use Oxford Estoril 2.0 MS Short Jacket from the Oxford. It works great for me. Oxford riding jackets come around 10K. Best bet for riding but slightly more than what you quoted. It comes with a waterproof membrane throughout the jacket and a storm flap and rain gutter system on the front of the jacket. Well padded up on elbows & shoulders.

    Here are the reference.

    Look at this, I hope it helps.

      After much of a reading of this thread I'm still in dilemma about picking the right full gauntlet gloves and a nice pair of riding boots.
      I'm more of a tourer but still doesn't want to compromise on the quality of protection.
      My budget with gloves is 3-4K within which cramster trg-2 and aspida ares gloves are falling.
      And with boots it's more around 10k within which I have not seen much of boots but got to see the Royal Enfield high ankle boots and the Tarmac venom riding boots which looked sturdy and are waterproof
      But in the end Tarmac is not much known brand by me so little confused
      Do share there reviews if anyone owns them and if there's anything better in that range which I can try physically in Delhi/NCR area. [emoji111]🏻️

                    Looking mainly for like short rides, maybe a trip to the track and eventually longer distance, any stores apart from spartan n motogear?
                    I am heavily considering the aspida waterproof gloves...

                      Waterproof gloves generally do not have as much protection as other leather gloves.
                      The BBG Semi-Gauntlets are pretty decent for the price-tag, I'd go with them if I were you, especially with the intended usage that you've specified.

                          Daaaaamn.. i rode 180kms to delhi to buy gloves only to find redline racing store closed.. went to riderz planet but they had only aspida zeus and alpinestar. Astar right off the bat out of my budget.. i did like the aspida gloves. Costed around 2800.. wanted to try out cramster and rynox gloves so went to karol bagh.. too much traffic.. my bike was overheating way too much.. police wala asked me for pollution papers.. had no idea bike needs a pollution paper. Mood off. couldnt visit chopra and had to drive back to my hotel in faridabad in pathetic traffic.. will try visiting them again tomorrow.. any recommendations under 3000.. hearts kinda set on trg2..

                                Call Redline, if Simran or Gurvinder paaji picks up, tell them you have come a long way, they will help you out. If required tell them Prateek referred, only if required.
