The octane evn has pockets which are meshed.
I wear every single ride or commute in Mumbai ,Havent felt the brunt of the heat at all

Talking about the cost v/s functionality.Rjays i found to be middle path.isliye

[snehmads]

DK, I have seen RJays with you guys. I liked it, but I have not seen any colour other than Black.
In one of Mumbai Pune Lavasa G2G, Shiva had a fall and his brand new RJays gave way exposing the flesh, but this can happen with any mesh jacket.
Does the supplier have any thing in Blue colour.?

[darkknight]

I knw abt the fall.But even I had a serious fall at Malshej as a pillion.nothing happened to the jacket.or my upper body.Touchwood.
color is available on website but now dont know who sells Rjays.7th gear has closed shop.so you may enquire with vicky for the availability.

Hmmm...in that way it proves to be economical..!!

Bro, Awesome gear man..!!

Thanks Inder.

doesn't bionic knee guards scratch your bike tank?

It did, but I'll be careful the next time I ride by using scotch tape.

PS: I am happy that other members of my group are now getting more aware to the use of riding gear; one purchased a Cramster touring jacket, while another has bought the AXO knee and elbow guards.

Pardon my ignorance but is the same 7th gear that used to sell imported exotics in Bombay ?

Chetanpulsar has JR Phoenix jacket. One of the best jackets for Indian weather, i guess.
Even i am a fix. need to get one mesh jacket for summer. Blue Cramster jackets are out of stock and replacement is one month away. I am resisting hard but may end up buying JR Phoenix 5.0 or A* T breeze/ T RC-1

Chetan, Any suggestions buddy on JR?

I have a Joe Rocket UFO Jacket... bought it around 10 months back from PRS, Mumbai for 10k. Its the best jacket in mesh material available I think. Quality is simply awesome with protective padding just perfect. Worth the money paid. Highly recommended. It looks excellent too !!

Moreover RJays jackets are good... but there is a flaw in the padding protectors... they are too hard and hence leave all the impact to the body. Also, when Shiva (from Mumbai) had a crash wearing it... the jacket tore apart from his right shoulder... and also his elbow part got major beating... the skin was torn bigtime. I would recommend RJays only for city riding.... high speed touring with RJays not recommended. And dont pay more than 7-7.5k for a RJays Octane jacket. Available at Smart Designs, Wadala and 7th Gear, Dadar.

Yes they keep exotic machines... also Performance racing store, Tardeo stock exotic riding gear and machines.

Cramster has updated their site with the new jacket range etc. They now have a shorter version of their touring boots, without the padded shin protection for Rs.4100, but only available in size 42-mine is size 43.

^^Sarvajit: It been a while since they updated their website with new jacket models.

DSG Maze for 5.5K might be available at mumbai shop where DSG products are sold.

Also, you can look for the RJays jacket for 6.5 - 7K, that also may be out of stock too...coz somedays back DK posted that 'the shop has closed down'

[Aryan]

Is anyone using this jacket - the Cramster Pulse. I loved it, and seems decent too, with protection, et al. A short review from someone who uses it would be beneficial for me. It is priced at Rs.5,250/-

[BANDHAV]

This particular model is launched hardly a month back, so not very user about you getting any first hand user review.

But i personally feel that its a very good alternative option to the DSG Nero, which is so very common these day.

Absolutely. That is the primary reason I want to get this. DSG is virtuall all over!
