Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

Hi guys, I'm in the process of buying a new jacket. I've shortlisted two viz. 1. AGV Sport Solare (on the recommendation of a friend) and 2. Aspida Helios.
Any suggestions or insights on the same?

I haven't used the AGV, so no comments, but about Helios, it's my go-to jacket for touring & track days.. I have a "previous gen" jacket.. saved me from a track crash and is comfortable enough for touring, a little on the heavier side, but once you wear it, you won't really feel it that heavy and it is pretty comfortable.. the only points when I feel the weight is when I'm wearing & taking them off.. for daily I use the spartan icarus.. light and does the job of daily commute....

the Helios goes well with Odysseus pants.. also "previous gen" I use 'em in a pair.. they're great together.. built like a tank..

so the current gen should be better than the previous..

Check out the new Rynox Apex with a Knox SpS protectors. They would cost you just 800 more than the Inferno Pro but you get Knox protectors with it.

I am planning to buy MT smoke visor. Anybody using it? How good is it under hard sunlight? Please advice..

I have Iridium as well as smoked visor For MT axxis,
1)Iridium: Day-Under Hard Sunlight -Visible with blue tint | Night-Nothing visible Clearly(Have to open visor)
2)Smoked: Day-Under Hard Sunlight -Clearly Visible | Night-Visible but not very clear(Have to open visor)
3) Clear: Everything is visible perfectly,no need to open visor anytime.

my riding consist of mixed day & night conditions ,currently I went back to clear visor & wear sunglasses occasionally.
As per my opinion, tinted visors are only cosmetic upgrade not practical unless you are going for only daylight ride.

Thanks bro.. But i was also using sunglasses under clear visor. But in case of any crash, that will make serous problems

That's why planned to buy smoked visor. My friend has an iridium visor. But i don't like vision of it.

I ride only in daylight. Under hot sun.

So what's your final verdict? Shall i go for smoke?
