Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

How do Powertector level 2 armour (used in solace sabre) compare with sas-tec armour?

Powertector is from South Korea while SASTEC is from Germany. I'm not too familiar with their history. Product wise, sastec is slightly more elastic than powertector, and hence adjusts to the body shape a bit better (visco elastic is the term they use). I have seen the powertector armours maybe about 9months back and they were very like Knox ones in terms of touch and feel (design slightly different). I have sastec in my riding gear and feel the elasticity/adjustment to body shape really helps while riding. While Knox/Powertector would be bit more 'rigid', though providing the equal level of protection.

Hey guys,

I'm looking for a pair of riding good quality riding jeans. I have seen 2 options from Bikeratti and one from Zeus.

Does anybody have any experience with either of these? How are they in terms of protection, comfort, and styling?

Also does anybody know the difference between the Blue version (8400) and the black version (9400) of the Bikeratti jeans? I have seen conflicting information on various websites and would like some insight into this.

Solace in Banashankari does repairs. Else Gear-n-Ride in HSR layout and Koramangala also do it though they may outsource it.

Re: Universal : Riding Gear Thread

Mostly city. Strictly No long rides or tours.

I would suggest you to go for the Rynox Storm Jacket.
The shoulder/ Elbow protectors are Level 2 from Knox (UK). The advantage of Knox protectors over sastec is that 1) It passes the CE tests of T+ and T- and in India T+ CE test should certainly be considered while you look for Level 2 protectors 2) Knox provides a 5 years warranty on protectors. The Knox protectors used in Storm Jacket are also the latest technology- Knox Microlock.

Sastec and Powertector Level 2 protectors both don't pass these test.

The Back protector is Powertector.
Chest are EVA pads and upgradable to CE certified ones.
It has external titanium sliders. (Added protections against slide)

At Impact zones the Rynox Storm jacket has Invista (Du Pont) Cordura which is far more superior in terms of abrasion resistance than any denier of Polyester.

I would recommend Level 2 ones but it'll depend if your jacket has the space for it. I don't think you can buy Knox separately, but SASTEC you can.

Don't know about sas-tec, but i think some of Powertector armour does passes T+ & T-, also rynox does sell them on their site.
