    Tornado Pro. BB jackets are just promoted a lot, they are not that good is what I found by personal inspection. If you can spend a tad more, go with TBG Knight jacket ! Best jacket money can buy under 10k.

      I'm also in same dilemma as you. But more leaned towards tornado pro. I've searched a lot for BB reviews and all I can see is paid/promoted review, couldn't find a proper trusted review plus they are not disclosing proper details of materials used hence I'm ruling out BB.

        Thats what I said. Totally agree on this point. Go with tornado pro and review it ! Or Spartan Aspida Nemesis 2. Waiting for your reviews brothers.

          I would have bought tornado pro last month but sadly my size isn't available anywhere, both online n offline here in Chennai. So waiting for it to come back in stock and it may take about 2 months as per rynox cc [emoji53]
          I'll enquire tbg knight jacket's availability and may it if I can get it earlier.

            Knight 2017 is on pre-orders. Have a look at it. The guys at Let's gear up are very helpful regarding any questions or queries. Call them or contact them on fb for details.

              I can't spend rs 10000 on a jacket. Adv breed knight is out of question.
              I don't know anything about riding jackets cause I never used one. So, I am more worried.
              No jacket other than "tarmac one II" is available at my size. And also that tarmac one doesn't come with a water proof/ thermal liner. Could not find any other jacket with 34-36 inch chest. Can you guys suggest one, keeping the fit and finish in mind. Thank you.

                Cramster brezzer 4s is good. But better to try it out rather than buying online.

                          Solace Sprint is what I find best for u after a lot of brainstorming and comparison. It has the great material quality like Rynox Tornado Pro, CE level 1 protectors, even some chest protection, is a mesh jacket and is cheap at 5800. Was reading review of a guy who survived a 90kmph crash wearing this jacket, the jacket had 2 tears of 1cm each. The rider survived unscathed, so speaks about the quality. Design is absolutely great too. You can look for this as an alternative. Cheers brother !

                            Thanks deep. Can you please tell about the quality of the jacket? I couldn't find any reviews online about the product.
                            Also, How is the rain liner in heavy rain? Read an old comment here that the quality of the lines are average.

                            Bro, thanks for that. But I would like to inform you that the smallest size jacket you suggested is 110 cm (43 inch). I am primarily concerned about the size of the jacket. My chest size is "34" inch. I generally wear S sized shirts. But funny say annoying about jackets. Many good jackets are available but they might be loose for my body. This is the problem. Do you think that buying a 36 inch jacket be OK for me? Thanks. Sorry for such confusions and boring every body with my pretty problems. But I need to make sure as I can't spend that amount everyday.

                              A friend of mine with chest 42 bought a size L, he was fit with M but he is tall so went for L. I recall same happening with a guy on xbhp. Do call Solace and ask them the size questions, I am sure they would be able to help you on this. And there are no problems, you can ask me questions all day. Happy to help a fellow rider. Also the jacket wont be totally snug fit as you may be wearing thermal and rain liner at times. Regarding the question about working of rain liner, it's great in Solace Sprint. But remember none of the riding jackets is 100% waterproof. Buy a external raincoat from decathlon.in and wear it outside your jacket, works like a charm. Cheers !

                                Can anybody tell me how are the cramster trgt full gloves? Or should I opt for something else? I visited the cramster shop here, jackets were not available. However, tried the gloves and were perfect fit for 3200 INR. Need to know if they would last at least 2-3 years at least. Thanks.

                                Please reply quickly if anybody own the products.
