    Good leather, comfortable ( after break in ), offer good protection for 2800INR.

        No proper procedure as such.
        Just wear them regularly.
        After a week or so you will able to feel minor difference.
        Get the glove which fits you perfectly while being comfortable at the same time.

          Do not go for DSG gloves, you can try out the Cramster TRG2 as well, they are good at the price they are being offered at. Solace also can be an option, but not DSG for sure.

              Hey guys,

              Sorry for not going through the previous posts and putting up a repetitive question as i tried to search what i was looking for but didn't find it.

              I am looking for an all weather gloves for my R15, Mixed riding with little bit of highway & city. My budget is 3K. I looked at xdi full gauntlet leather+mesh gloves but the shop owner said leather will get ruined in rain if not looked after properly.

              So please suggest me a glove as per my requirements.

              Thanks!

                  Waterproof gloves are normally hard to put on when your hand is wet. Also they tend to keep the temperature inside the gloves quite high. Just saying from what I know and from fellow rider's experiences.

                      Hi has anyone been using the rst tractech Evo boots? I'm thinking of getting it. Any other options?
                      May the sun rise infront of me,
                      the rain fall behind me and the wind follow me.

                      Keep me safe through rolling hills, swirling turns and bad roads.
                      Let the moon's light guide me through the night.
                      Lord, thank you for letting me a Biker.

                        Hey, thanks! I'll check out Aspida Poseidon, DSG I'm not very sure of as I've heard that their quality has really taken a toll.

                        Btw, is it okay to use semi-leather/semi-mesh gloves in monsoon season or the leather parts gets ruined if used in monsoon, I will be doing riding in Mumbai/Pune rains.

Got rainliner, no thermal liner. very good ventilation, yet to try in rain. Got 2 pockets, but not waterproof. Value for money.

                          Hope this is the one.
                          How's the rain protection?

                          • Riding gear!

                            Hi all,
                            I recently bought some riding gear for myself. Have invested in a studds shifter helmet, fox gloves & elbow and knee guards. I couldn't buy a decent jacket and a better helmet because I was on a tight budget.
                            My question is 1- Is studds shifter a good helmet for highway riding? I regularly commute between Mysore and Bangalore. Planning on taking longer trips soon.
                            2. Is there a good riding jacket available for around 2k? I don't want to invest in that 'fox' riding jacket available online because I've heard horrible reviews about it. The elbow and knee guards are only a substitute till I can buy a good jacket.

                            Cheers,
                            Shardul
