  • I bought Joe rocket textile convertible and an alpinestars mesh jacket.
    The Joe rocket cannot be used for city riding whereas the alpinestars is very comfy since it's a mesh jacket. The kneeguards from alpinestars was not fitting properly and therefore I shipped them back.

    Day before yesterday, just to check the functionality of waterproof liner provided for Joe rocket, I rode the bike for good 20 minutes in heavy downpour, but the liner did a good job and the water didn't seep in. Wish I had the jacket a year back when my trusted w700i went kaput during my ride to Hassan from Bangalore amidst heavy rains

            Yes, I too have the same knee and elbow guard. (See my album for it's pics ). I bought that for Rs 1800from Kolkata. I used to wear them inside my six pocket. Because, wearing them inside jeans is really difficult. But for the past couple of weeks I am wearing them outside my pant. A small part of the guard touches the tank. No scratching in the tank so far.

                • The Dainese jackets at PROBIKER have very soft protectors, you can squeeze them easily.

                  • Here is the pic for gloves and Jacket.

                    The yellow gloves were from some ecypso brand (cant remember exactly the name, something like that).

                    Cost for that was around 900 rs.
