Universal : Riding Gear Thread

[kaynmantis]

I'm looking out for a protective jacket. Preferably waterproof. My budget is around 5k. What i would also like to know is that, I'm having knee and elbow guards. Is it advisable to wear elbow guards under the jacket or the jacket itself is enough?

You can check out DSG as well as Cramster. They may fall within your budget. Mind you though, don't mistake water resistance for waterfroof.

Jackets comes with elbow guard which is sufficient. Of course you can use your elbow guards, but you will have to remove the guard in the jacket which is very easy. Though you may find the guard in the jacket more convenient as a separate elbow guard has to be put on and removed everytime you ride.

On other hand, your existing elbow guard MIGHT fit inside the pockets of the jacket that holds the guards, but whether they stay firmly in correct place is another question.

They have not mentioned the price here,will definitely visit there check out the stuff soon.

Yup, price not mentioned since they are whole sale suppliers and i think they are mainly in to export. I can see so many guys buying out gloves, shoes, jackets and other riding gears. From my experience if they are exporting, then we can get the riding gears for a cheap price.

Hope some Delhi XBhpians wake up ;-)

send me link for that knee pad..any gloves would you suggest in that price range.....

All sellers offer Kneepads are more or less the same price.

Here's the one I bought : Thor Sector Knee Guards - BikeBandit.com

Gloves are available as Short cuff, long styles and have mesh/textile/leather construction. Choose one that suits your riding environment best.

Checkout Motorcyclesuperstore.com, they have a good variety of gloves at attractive rates. Shortlist after going through product reviews as the actual product may differ from the manufacturer's claims with regards to sizing/quality.

Ride safe.

Damn, if its 90 Km away, then call those guys and then plan for a visit.
Or you can put a word across in the Delhi G2G thread so that if some one is residing near by that place, then they can visit.

I actually like the Black leather Jackets. Also interested in the Boots they offer.

After thorough website browsing, finally got myself quality stuff through my from Bikebandit through my brother from the U.S.

AGV Sport TRX textile jacket : MSRP : $120, closeout : $35 !
AGV Sport Tornado gloves : MSRP : $90, closeout : $28 !
Thor Secot knee guards : $12.
Shipping withing U.S : $8.

Total : $83 = $83*46 = Rs.3800 !

The Jacket has armour at critical areas and zipout waterproof liner but at the same time is lightweight. Fit and finish is great.
Yet to get accustomed to the gloves and knee pads.

Thanks mate.

Yes, these websites offer great deals on gear often to make way for new inventory/dispose excess stock. The trick is to wisely select gear from one/multiple websites to keep shipping + overall cost optimal.

Closeout offers apply till stock lasts, so you have to act fast !

The best trick is asking some one to bring it from US. Even when ordered in Close out offers, the shipping will still cost a bomb when compared to the price of the product.

You are lucky to have your brother bringing them here

You are not really asked to make the payment by going to their shops!

Just use your Visa Credit Card for buying stuff out! Or if you are a PayPal member, then you can use that as well.

@dj: Nice riding gears that you procured. It's an icing on the cake, especially looking at the overall price that you have got them all for! Brilliant. However, for someone who doesn't have his family/ friend staying abroad, it becomes a little difficult to buy anything online (from shops abroad), and get the shipped to India. It's still a wee bit confusing regarding the custom duties that would be levied once I have the stuff (riding gears, helmets, etc.) delivered at my door-step.

I have been VERY much interested in procuring this particular model of the KBC helemt for long now. It's just that I don't have anyone staying abroad who can help me out with such a sweet deal.

Use the credit card of person in US as your card will incur forex charges which will be a loss.
