Hey guys just bought these gloves off aliexlress... Costed around 900... Locally were around 2500 bucks...
These are made of leather with 20% animal leather...
The backside for holding handlebar or material on wrist is alcantara.. provides very good grip... Feels very premium for the Damned price... Also protection is adequate...
Here is the link..

Re: Riding boots and jacket

Hello friends.... am planning a long due dream ride of mine to leh...only thing is that,i will be accompanied by my wife on this trip
Being a newbie to this community...i would like to get suggestions from you all on the following:-

1. Riding jacket for me and my wife (budget for both-16k -17k)
2. Riding boots(budget 11k for both)
3. Good helmets for both(budget 11k)

Please suggest for the above mentioned points keeping in mind for leh trip....

Riding jacket, get the Solace Defender Plus for both. Or if you want different brands, get a Rynox Evo and Solace Defender Plus. Riding boots, get a lady boot from Solace or Aspida, and for yourself get a decent boot from same brands or even Rynox. Check the specifications at their site. Helmets, get MT or SMK.

Sites -
solaceintl.in for Solace
rynoxgears.com for Rynox
spartanprogear.com for Aspida, Spartan and MT helmets.
motocentral.in for SMK helmets.
Cheers !

Re: Riding boots and jacket

I would suggest something like this for you
1. Jackets go for solace defender plus for you and another solace ladies one for your wife
2. Riding boots try Orazo boots, they are made as dual purpose. You can also walk/trek with them. Other riding boots might be very uncomfortable for walking.
3. Try revolt helmets, they are really nice considering speaker pocket, sun visor and noise at high speeds.
Good luck for your ride!

Mesh is breathable but not safe at all, you hit the tarmac and the tarmac eats your mesh before a second. Good for hot weather as it maintains air flow. You may find mesh with bigger holes like in Aspida Nemesis jacket or fine small holed mesh like in Rynox Tornado Pro.

Textile is all textile, safe but it gets pretty hot in stop go traffic. But it saves your skin in case of a crash. Better sweat than bleed.

Leather is the best bet at protection, highly abrasion resistant, very protective. But tends to get VERY hot, even perforated leather tends to get hot. Good for track days, not so good for everyday riding.

Some jackets come with a combination of mesh and textile, textile on the impact areas like the shoulder, the elbows and so on. Some examples are Rynox Air Gt v2.0, Solace Sprint, Aspida nemesis, Rynox Tornado Pro.

Textile jackets include examples like Rynox Stealth Evo, Solace Defender plus.

Thanx parth for the wonderful explanation... Got it thoroughly

So I guess buying a textile jacket would be good...Just one thing, does a textile jacket come with thermal and rain liner? If yes..then would it be a bit comfortable in hot weather if the thermal liner is removed?
Is solace defender,VFM?

Thanx in advance

Depends on which jacket you are going for.

Solace defender do comes with rain and thermal linner.
Removing any kind of linner is highly suggested else you'll sweat like a pig from inside.

Solace Defender plus comes with a rain and thermal liner, do remove them during summers. The jacket is great VFM since it gets Sas tec level 2 protectors and the build is very nice too.

Hello Guys,

So I ride a Duke 390 and

Thank you

Jacket - Rynox air gt or DSG evo 2

Helmet - MT mugello or SMK helmet

Gloves - cramster blaster at 2.4k

Knee guards - Cramster drifter pro

If you are into touring then I would suggest you to buy pants they are more comfortable. Riding boots add more protection.
