I picked up the last piece of Mesh jacket from Cramster, Bangalore. They said they would be launching a new model after a month or two. Couldn't wait&didn't want to spend more coz they're hiking the prices of the new model, so picked it up after confirming it was in good shape.
DSG Maze is also not listed on the site anymore.
I suggest you either wait for DSG/Cramster to launch a summer jacket, or go with the Nero.
As for gloves, I have Moto Mesh for short rides. They are basically meant for city riding. I am planning to pick up the Cramster semi-gauntlet next month. http://www.cramster.in/images/rg_twist_big.jpg
I find them good VFM at Rs.1400&moreover I don't feel too comfy in full gaunts.

I have just Bought The DSG MAZe.
Its not listed on the website, but you can call them and they can send you the pics.

The jacket is better in terms of vetilation.
The stuff might not look that good though as the Nero (I hv seen only in pics) but is more airy. The leather on the shoulders do look classy.

I have just worn it twice. Once In the afternoon. When the bike was on the move it was comfortable. When you will stop it will definately get uncomfortable. But this is my first jacket and I have not tried before any other. My guess its better than most in ventilation. But all this after removing the inner lining.

So with inner lining it can user in Rains and winters also.
Price 6k

For city riding I would recommend you to get the DSG Moto Mesh gloves for Rs.850.
IMO spending more than 2K should get you a decent pair of touring gloves atleast!

@Mindgridner: I have used my gauntlets in both summers and winters, as well as during the monsoons! No problems at all. As for summers, I hope you know how pathetic Delhi summers can get.

So, I feel the ones you are contemplating on should be just fine for the summers.

i might be using for short trips around Bangalore too, i do not like feel of moto mesh. and i feel there is no palm protection in moto mesh.

Great thanx for suggestion, i know about Delhi summer you do not even feel like wearing gloves. I guess i will go for em i hope Axo is a nice brand.

Yes, I also felt the same, thats why I have decided to go for this for touring:

I'm not comfortable with full gaunts, so considering this.
If you are comfortable with full gaunts, you can comfortably go ahead with the one you are thinking of. Be rest assured, Axo&Alpine Stars are the best brands!

Help needed for lower back problem

Hi ppl,

I am having lower back problems for sometime now, i saw a back support in planet DSG link Alpinestars Boinic Back Protector Level 2 CE Armor
I have a pulsar 150 which is also adding up to the problem, can anyone suggest if this particular back protecter is going to help me?

The link is-

Topic Merged.

I don't think wearing a back "protector" would relive you of your back pain problems. You need to visit a doctor, to get better 'treatment'!

Yes, I think you should get some physiotherapy exercises, till then better not to ride.
After that, you can start wearing that or this: http://www.cramster.in/images/mc_backsupp2_big.jpg

This product is a better solution for you.

Alpinestars Orion Kidney Belt Red / Black - Rs2,650.00

[roman1627]

Actually i have gone to docs and they have told me to stop riding for the best results but its not possible, so for me the best option is to take steps so that the damage done is minimum.

So looking out for some protection, is Alpinestars belt a better option or Cramster belt?

Also i will be changing my bike pretty soon(upgrading to KZMA as suggested by OLD FOX) so that i can ride for long distances
