EDIT:

@inder:

It comes with a inner liner. I am sure you got that. You will need to wear a waterproof liner (doesn't come with the jacket) either inside or outside the mesh jacket. Actually it doesn't matter if the main layer gets wet. Its mesh anyways it'll dry off easy and other parts are leather and padding mostly.

Absolutely wrong jacket to buy for monsoon.

Guys, when I said liner, I meant the waterproof liner. Of course it comes with a thermal liner and I have it with me.

Seriously man, absolutely the wrong jacket for monsoon, so I need to figure out what to do. I am only bothered about the leather. When leather gets wet, it kinda gets old quicker and the top layer starts coming off. Although I don't mind the mesh getting wet, I'm bothered about the leather. Any local guys who sell good waterproof liners?

Oh, you want a tank protector! I thought you wanted only a cover!
Anyways, Pune guys will help you on this.

Buy the Moto Mesh for City.... be happy..... save some money, buy the DSG Primal and be more happy!

Touring gloves usually need to protect your wrist and pad the palms.... the one that you showed does neither..... !

By Liner i meant that its a waterproof liner..which is already supplied with the jacket..!

Waterproof liner? I doubt it man. Can you confirm if he meant waterproof liner or thermal liner?

Well, I got the thermal liner, and if we do get an extra waterproof liner with the jacket, I'm going to pisssssssssed......... damn orion

Orion sucks anyways. They missed out on giving me the EVA foam back pad. I realized one day late and now they are making a big deal about it. I called Pune DSG and told them that these guys messed up and they need to make things quick. Some new manager knows nothing about customer satisfaction it seems(ORION).

Oh, and dont worry about the waterproof liner. Confirmed it does NOT come with one.

Ya, that friend of mine told that its not 100% waterproof..!!

[silver_falcon_46]

Just had a chat with DSG Pune. They said no matter what they will deliver the EVA foam back pad to me either directly or through Orion. I was never worried but its a good thing they responded well.

Ya, that friend of mine told that its not 100% waterproof..!!

Thanks anyways Inder. Your friend was talking about the thermal liner it seems.

Psst... You are spending way too much effort...
Get hold of a over sized Raincoat! a Duckback is a GOOD option....
Wear it over your Jacket.....

Oh and you should REALLY avoid leather in rains.... unless you want to grow shrooms on it!

Cramster Saddlebags...

Is anyone using the Cramster saddlebags on the R15? Please post a review if yes.
I would like to see pics of the straps&also of the contact area on the rear panels.
@HydBiker: I think you have this.

Hi all: I am planning to invest some on Riding gears and will start from Jacket. I am thinking of buying a Mesh Jacket for obvious reasons. Yesterday I visited Castrol Bike Zone and checked out DSG Maze and Spike. I was kinda impressed by Maze. Light weight, good looks with leather etc. All seemed to very nice and great. But I would like to know if there are any down side of DSG Maze as I do not know anyone who owns it. Thanks.

hehe, shrooms for sure! The problem is, I have no idea where Duckback is available in bangalore. They have distributors in Chennai. These local raincoats are no good really. Some water does seep in, unlike the Duckbacks. So, hoping to find a Duckback!
