    I bought MT Muggello in Aug 2018 from Wroom store was going to buy Twister, Sachin suggested this.Good suggestion by him, cause later some of my friends who bought Twister are now complaining about chin strap getting loose after few months.
    Now my MT Muggello's clear visor as well as external shell have developed few scratches. Was going to buy Pinlock(₹1750, turns out its bigger than twister's pinlock 30) , Silver/Mirror finish visor(₹1100) & clear (₹1000)visor & breath deflector (₹200) total cost ₹4050
    Now after one year of usage i suspect cheek padding has lost its power.It deflects by 1 inch sideways when head is shook aggressively. If additional cheek padding(₹1650) is purchased total goes to (₹5700).Instead I was thinking of buying new helmet with pinlock(Max Vision pinlock 70)& silver/mirror visor.

    Please suggest should I change liner & visors or buy new helmet, if new then which one?
    Requirements:
    Daily 20 kms on weekdays
    70-200 kms on weekends
    Touring once in 3 months
    Good quality inner liner
    Availability of spares
    Not expensive accessories
    Speaker pockets
    Mirrored Visor
    Max vison Pinlock 70
    Double D ring


    Shortlisted
    SHIRO SH821 & 881
    MT Thunder SV

    Please suggest a proper one for me.

        Hey. Anyone here use the Rynoc Recon gloves? I have the Aspida Centaur, looking for a glove that'd be usable in the rain, so not thinking about shelling out too much. I like the looks of the recon, and rynox in general,but does the product deliver ?

            Do you guys recommend buying a pant with mesh or without? Was considering between the Rynox Advento or Solace Coolpro Mesh 2 or TourJet.

              Depends on your usage. If the pants have mesh only on thighs, all good.
              There is always a compromise between protection and comfort, else we all would be wearing iron man suits.

              CE level 2 is what I would see. Goodluck.

                I use the Solace Passion city gloves. As the name suggests, it's not primarily meant for Touring, but I have been using it for past 1 year and it's fantastic. Fits in your budget.

                    Check Rynox Stealth evo or Solace Furious. Both are better than the options you are looking at.

                    Goodluck.

                      I am looking for Rev'it! Sand 3 Jacket in India . Can you suggest some good places to buy genuine motorcycle gear in Delhi and Gurgaon? I live in Chattarpur area. I am checking on some online sites but the prices there are in Dollars, and with shipping charges, the cost overrun is too high .

                      Appreciate the help.

                          1. Price- as low as possible without compromising safety
                          2. Usage- City use only, May go on 250KM ride once in 6 months.
                          3. Safety is priority
                          4. should have excellent ventilation. All weather pants aren't required as i wont be touring/riding in rain/extreme winter.

                          Are knee guards good alternative for riding pants? pardon my ignorance as i have never owned a riding pant before.
                          Have been using rynox airtech pants.perfect for city use with huge mesh patches in front for ventilation.knox Armor(level 2 i guess) for knee.external rain liner.waterproof pocket.and knee armour is with a lot of adjustability due to velcro (can't remember the fancy name given by the company).have been going strong for some time without any issues.got it for 6500.
                          Knee guards are not an alternative for riding pants, ever.the guards may shift if external.internal ones will be a pain to wear and the guards offer zero abrasion resistance to parts other than knee.

                              I am looking for a riding pant to go with my Solace Furious(V 1.0) riding jacket and an all weather gloves. Budget is 8k and 3K respectively. Since I've found the Furious to be of very good quality and meeting all my expectations, I'm a little inclined towards Solace Coolpro riding pants. As per my knowledge, it's an underrated product - any users here? Would like to know about any other alternatives from users as well.

                              However, it's the pair of gloves which I am not able to decide - Solace Striker is no longer available. I did not have a very good experience with Spartan Aspida gloves(no offense to the owners). The knuckle protectors have come off after the slightest of touch with water. Any suggestion about a good pair of gloves which can withstand a little rain/water is welcome.

                                Don't know much about the riding pants but. If you want your gloves to withstand water then you must look for waterproof gloves.
                                THERES NO SUCH leather product which can take on little poring and be the same as they were before.
                                Afterall it's a leather. Even if you use any aftermarket product to revive your gloves, it won't work.
                                Either go for textile gloves or waterproof ones if you intent to use them during rainy season or under wet conditions.
