      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.
      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 !!

      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!

            Cramster 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.

              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.)..!!

              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!

                  But, how come you are wearing it inside your pants..doesn't it scratch your legs...as its supposed to be worn outside na..!!

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.
                    @Sarvajit : Thanks for ur reply... Are u telling about this one http://www.cramster.in/images/rg_twist_big.jpg ???
                    is it worth buying my usage is for both city & touring... and also must be good in rainy seasons(water proof)...

                      No, there is a soft padding inside, just like what the above A Stars has- so no problem with the legs.
                      The elbow ones have a mesh inside so have to be worn on bare hands only. Knees can be used dual purpose.

                          Ok, are these the ones from the ProBiker store in Pune? Could you please attach pics as well? What is the price range?
                          I am looking for some cheap city gloves&one to match my red&white jacket too. No need for much of protection, as I already have touring gloves.
