Naah man, I hv got my mind set of Cramster already !! They us UK sizes, and maybe its just me, but they fit much better on my frame than the US sizes of DSG.Originally posted by inder.cool View PostYou can try out the new DSG Falcon..!
It might be reverse for someone else !!
BTW, here my take on Breezer 2.0 , wich I had originally mentioned in Jonak's crash log !! Just thght it'd be of more use here !!
@Jonak :
BTW, I went to Cramster store this Saturday and tried the Breezer 2.0 jacket on. Its very light and fits pretty well. In fact I think the elbow guard has been elongated till 2-3 inches before the wrists. Its got external padding at elbow and shoulders, so one can even wear it without the guards !!
Only thing is, it doesn't have elastics at the waist, so it doesn't cling to the waist to give a v-shape but fall vertical. They said, that was to enhance breathability !!
Also to add, there is no free water proof with this one, as it is with some other Cramster models !!
And they have a single piece of Breezer 1.0 with them, wich they might give out for a lot of discount. Dont remember the size. Can call them for details !!Kawasaki Ninja : Because lazy sunday afternoons should be despatched at 160 kmph!!!
Hyosung Aquila : Because sometimes you need to look cool while riding at 40 kmph and you can do that only on a cruiser !!!

I havent seen the Cramster ones, but have used the Astars before.
I would say that the Fox ones can be rated 6.5/10 if I rate teh Astars bionic 9/10!Super CommuTOURer� - Talk less, Ride more

I have seen that one..and its pretty rough...i mean the outer quality of the shell is very poor as compared to the new age knee quards(be it any co.)..!!Originally posted by Sarvajit View PostCramster bionic. Knee is older model than the one they have in the site. It is also bionic, but larger in size compared to the new one.
And, that scuffs the tank pretty badly..!! two examples from xBhp only..Anup Abraham and Motorbreath..!!

Yes, I also felt the same, so wearing it inside. I guess they have sorted that out in the newer model. However, I still feel wearing knee guards inside pants is a better option no matter how smooth it may be!Originally posted by inder.cool View PostI have seen that one..and its pretty rough...i mean the outer quality of the shell is very poor as compared to the new age knee quards(be it any co.)..!!

@Sarvajit : Thanks for ur reply... Are u telling about this one http://www.cramster.in/images/rg_twist_big.jpg ???Originally posted by Sarvajit View Post
@Binoy: Those are good for city&short highway rides. I have them. For longer rides you may want a proper touring glove. Range above Rs.2000. Since I don't like full gauntlets, I went with the Cramster Twist Touring gloves-semi gauntlet, for some Rs.1400. DSG has some good stuff too.
is it worth buying my usage is for both city & touring... and also must be good in rainy seasons(water proof)...
@inder.cool :
You can try out the Pro-Biker gloves..they retail for 1100/- and are pretty good in terms of safety too..bcoz they have a carbon fiber protectors..!
Where can i find it??? i am from kerala(don't think these are available here), if possible can u give the link to site which are selling these gloves...sigpic...Ride Long...Ride Safe...

No, there is a soft padding inside, just like what the above A Stars has- so no problem with the legs.Originally posted by inder.cool View PostBut, how come you are wearing it inside your pants..doesn't it scratch your legs...as its supposed to be worn outside na..!!
The elbow ones have a mesh inside so have to be worn on bare hands only. Knees can be used dual purpose.
