Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

Guys, is there a riding gear kit which i can buy for around 3k max budget. By kit i mean knee and elbow guards and a decent gloves. The only protection i have now are probiker gloves and helmet. BTW how are probiker gloves? Are they good?
Thank you.

Probikers are just a formality in the name of safety equipment. Their stitching tends to get loose after normal usage. Look for Vega MCS-05 leather gloves. Costed me 1150 and protected my palms from a very nasty crash. Knee and elbow sliders cost, I guess, about 1200.

Oh! Thank you. Is there a particular brand for knee and elbow sliders? Or is it made by vega too?

I'm not too sure about any particular brand but as far as I remember, it's "Probiking"

Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

Hello friends, I was looking out for biking boots that can be worn in heavy rains. Unfortunately, cant shell out a big amount right now, so looking for only basic stuff. The only requirement is that they should not get ruined if worn continuously in heavy rains.

Any suggestions/recommendations? Thanks a lot!

Answering from waterproofing perspective & budget

I have an idea that i have been using for riding in rain to office. Just buy some/Action safety shoes with toe metal inserts. If your wear pants that don't cover the top of cuff/shoe during riding posture no shoe will help you. Your best bet will be high ankle shoes only. Safety shoe offer good suport to ankle

Buy royal Enfield boot cover/Rain cover. Check it out first in one of their sales office. You will find similar cover in the market as well.

Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

Hello everyone, I am quite a newbie as far as riding gears are considered though I know all popular brands and their popular products. The things I find hard to understand are these ce rated armours, sas tech, knox, cow hide, brazilian leather and stuff..

These things are kind of above my level. Can anybody here put some light over it?

Has anyone here used the Falco Axis 2.1 boots? I'm looking for a short-length waterproof boot for city rides and commuting. Budget is 8-10k.

Check out Germot tour. Fcmoto.de
Total price with import is 8200.
It is built well but I find the closing mechanism chain a bit of a let down.

2. Water proof tracks.
3. water proof shoe covers (is there such a thing?)
4. Water proof backpack for my laptop.
5. Some water resistant gloves.

Anything else that you recommend. Where should I start looking? I can go upto 15-20K for all of these combined.

+Helmet. I need a good helmet. Budget upto 40K.

May be more specific details of what kind of bike do you ride will help others with the suggestion of riding gear. With a budget of 40k just for helmet you can check Nolan, shoei, top level HJC and MT helmets.

Just to add, I am planning to buy an adventure tourer soon and the gear will be for that bike. Most probably a Versys 650.

You can check triumph jackets and riding pants. They have an adventure line.
