Don't misjudge my post. I am using the older model of Cramster knee guards which were bulky&not well finished. The newer model of the knee guards are sleeker&seem to have a much better finish. You have done nothing wrong by buying them.
Now, whenever you compare our desi brands to the international ones, you are bound to find a difference in the looks. This is something you have to decide on according to your wallet.
There will be no compromise in the Cramster knee guards-they are bionic, have the same level of protection as any other international brand. The same thing in Alpine Stars will cost you Rs.3500. Now whether you want to spend that money for the brand name is upto you. I repeat, features&protection wise Cramster is no less.

phew..I got a lil worried seeing your and Inder's post on that page. I felt a small gnaw in my heart if I had done it right.. Now I'm happy, thanks to you
Ya Certainly don't want to spend 3.5k on a Astar bionic atleast for now

You are right, there is hardly any difference in the palm or side area for a Moto Mesh&local gloves. You were already told this is fundamentally a city glove, so don't expect any padding.
Coming to the difference between the DSG Moto Mesh&your less than 200 Rs. glove, DSG offers you a better fabric, with hard knuckle protection, which the local glove will not offer. All city gloves lack palm padding. If you really need palm padding, try a touring glove like the DSG Primal or a lower priced one like the Cramster Twist.

hmmm... ya me wanted a palm protector, so is it only available for touring gloves...... hmmm then Twist was the better option... anyways next time i will... now satisfying with this one...

Hmm, thats why I got both too! I use the Moto Mesh for short rides&Twist will be inaugurated on my 1st long ride next month. I will post a review soon.

cool buddy... Every month i used to go to my house which is almost 600km(to and fro) from my office... and my daily ride is 35-40km to and fro my office... and other short or long trips with my friends... so i am both a city & Tourer... that's y i asked for such type of gloves for both city and touring...
and that's y my bike is just 4 months old but 8466km on odo...

Good luck for ur long ride...

The zip is for connecting the jacket to the riding pants for track use. I have tried it on my Cramster Breezer Mesh 1.0 jacket&Velocity Riding Pants. It is cumbersome for touring, but a good thing for tracks.
Btw, are the protectors bionic?

thanks dude.

the fox knee pads can be worn inside, it has padding and it does'nt have the screw kinda thing which makes it move, but it still bends.

now is it bionic?

No, it is not bionic. But looks good for that price.

[jadhav92]

the one worn outside is bionic and inside is non-bionic is it???

also i found the AXO knee pads there and comparitively i found the FOX ones the better.

i have the same ones..!! You were asking na once...!!

If its worn inside then its called Non-bionic..and the ones worn outside are Bionic..

No, it depends on the flexibility. If it is a double piece design (with a screw like you mentioned), which is flexible with your joint movement, it is bionic, else not.
Nothing to do with wearing inside or outside. I wear my Cramster bionics inside my cargo pants. I know some who wear non bionic outside too!

@ Jadhav

i bought the same FOX guards from JC Road at 1600/-.....and yes these are very reliable and very comfortable too...the padding inside makes me sweat if worn inside the pant so i wear it over the pants
