Cramster Breezer&DSG Maze both are discontinued.

What do you mean by 'Those pants are a shot to the brain'? Are they good or bad? Cramster also has pants, a little pricey at Rs. 4300 though!

You sure the Maze is discontinued ? Is it in cause DSG's bringing out a new range for 2009 ? Was thinking of going in for it next month, now I will wait & see. Anyways Orion has a huge stock of DSG jackets. Am sure the old stock will coexist with the replacement stock.

I dont think DSG Maze (Mesh jacket) is discontinued.

I think DSG(Pune) are out of stock for the Maze and no new pieces are manufactured for that...the stocks left must be available at different cities..!

@chetanpulsar: Are you referring to the Cramster pants? If they are not comfortable, I won't go for them.

@inder.cool: You are right, DSG&Cramster have launched new models&have stopped displaying these on their site. They may not have, but other dealers will surely have some old stock left, which they try to sell off. I also happened to pick up the last piece of Cramster Mesh at Bangalore outlet for Rs.4300 after discount.

No... am referring to this, I felt very uncomfortable wearing this.... you should go ahead and try it... it might be good for you.

Did you buy this? It looks like a ladies' stocking! Rather than buying that, a simple knee guard would do! Considering the fact that it does not have armor anywhere other than the knees, just a padding near the thighs.
Btw, why do you suggest this to anyone when you yourself are not happy with it?
I have Cramster knee guards already&am planning for riding pants soon.

Nope.... never .... saw them... tried to wear them.... and stepped out of that shop .... thats why I was telling Cramster Armour pant-inners are sad .
Knee guards are a lot better.... and so are riding pants.

Better go for those riding pants from Cramster @ 4.3k

Good you didn't buy them! But anyways, they are not Cramster.
I'm very happy with the Cramster Mesh Jacket, Knee&Elbow guards&am planning for the Riding Pants, Gloves&Boots beginning of next month.

Boots beginning of next month.

Boots offered by Cramster are a steal....as the same looking thing is available at DSG at the double price..!!

I know buddy...overall I found Cramster to be VFM compared to DSG. All I bought from DSG were the Moto Mesh gloves that too not for touring!
I find the Cramster Twist semi gauntlet also really good.
Waiting for the paycheck yaar!

Oh .... ya you are right.

So going full armored next month.. cool.... its always better to invest in riding gear rather than repenting later

Yeah, I find knee&elbow guards good only for short distances. Especially the elbow guards have a mesh liner inside, which makes it a bit tough to wear on bare elbows (which is how it is meant to be worn). Knee guards are supposed to be worn outside, but are pretty comfy inside pants too.

I found the Cramster Mesh really comfy on long rides& at high speeds. Expect the same from the pants too!

Yes... they would be as good as the jacket.

I guess the non-bionic knee guard are meant to be worn inside the pants (scratching the tank knee recess area is an issue-if worn outside).

@Inder: Yes sir... perfect

Why can't you wear those for long rides..!? Any specific reason

Btw, which knee guards do you have...bionic or non-bionic ones..??
