Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

Hey guys
I need to buy a new pair of gloves within ₹3000 range.
The problem is that I live in mangalore and cant find any stores here that sell gloves besides the pro-biker ones.
What gloves would y'all recommended I buy online?
Looked through SPG and Rynox but are their online stores reliable?
Thanks.

Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

[MENTION=79368]Tloren[/MENTION] online stores are reliable, have tried rynox, dsg, and outdoortravelgear.com.
Only thing is u shld be sure about your size, as in offline mode u can always try sizes

Aight cool thanks! What gloves/brand do you recommend I go for?
Ive tried a pair of DSG gloves in medium but they do not fit me perfectly, I assume a size larger would be perfect. Finger size is what worries me, do online retailers have any sort of return policy incase of a wrong fit?

Has anyone used the Falco Axis 2.1 boots sold by Spartan Pro Gear out here? I'm planning on getting myself a pair for city riding.

Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

I use dsg gloves. Online retailers have policies for exchange and return. Do chk on respective websites before order.

I have no idea about the Airdrift, but the TBG Knight is worth a look at that price!

Need some help here folks. SPG has reduced the price for the Axis 2.1 boots on their website from 11.5k to 10k.
Any other good alternatives in the 10k price bracket?

P.S. I already have full-length boots. I'm looking for short-length boots only, for city rides and commutes.

You can also checkout Alpinstars Faster Vented boots which retail for around 11K, Good enough for your city rides!

The A* Faster boots don't seem to have as much protection as the Falco ones. Besides, they're not waterproof. I'd rather sweat it out in the boot than miss out on that feature TBH.
Also, I'd prefer the convenience of a zipper instead of a lace mechanism.

I'm struggling to stretch my budget from 6.5k to 10k only because I want one good boot I can use everyday. I've used the ADVBreed ankle-length boots and was absolutely happy with them until a slight manufacturing defect came into play and I had to return them for a refund due to lack of stock for a replacement. Since I need to get myself another pair of boots, I thought of a little upgrade. There's no way I can exceed that budget anytime for a year or two now, so the only options I see right now are :-
1) Falco Axis 2.1 - 10k INR
2) Zeus Raiden Pro - 9k INR

Both are CE certified boots as per the descriptions on their respective websites. The Falco has D3O ankle cups whereas the Raiden Pro has toe sliders. That's where I'm confused between the two. I'm still looking for alternatives, but I've already looked through the Alpinestars range, and it neither suits the pocket, nor does it seem like the better option (to me, at least, as of right now).

i am also looking for the ankle shoes for daily use with good protection. i heard about the solace roha short shoes & jazzy shoes. any idea about it???
i don;t have any idea about the falco axis but heard first time about the CE rated shoes. As per my knowledge CE approved are some parts like armors etc
zeus is giving warranty about CE rated? please let me know i am also interested then.

Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

Hey guys,

Looking to buy a pair of full gauntlet gloves and I've finalised on rynox inferno pro vs solace bravo. I'm a bit inclined towards rynox, with it being in the market much longer and having proved it's popularity but have heard really good reviews about the solace brand as well. Any thoughts?

I need one other clarification as well. A cousin recently bought the solace bravo gloves and I noticed there was no protection on the index finger as it was on the middle and ring fingers. But on all the images I've seen here and on google they show a protection on it. Was his a one off case or is it a misprint in the images?

Thanks in advance!!
