someone do tell me.i need to go for the gloves within few days...

hey tell me from where can i get those probiker gloves at 500 rs in delhi itself..which shop exactly..

sorry for the late reply.
i got the probiker gloves around 2 weeks back for Rs.500 from Chopra's at Karol Bagh. you can enquire at Mahalaxmi too.. and infact..
there's another shop in the 'khajanchi' lane which might offer them for even less.. i just didn't find the blue color so couldn't purchase from there! (ask the bald man at khajanchi, he can tell you the shop)


can anybody tell me the least price at which i can get the vega boolean (with graphics) in karol bagh?

Khajanji can help with more shops.

Cleaning the DSG jacket

Does anyone have an idea about cleaning DSG jackets? I have a DSG Spike. I was thinking of hand-washing it, but there doesnt seem to be a way to remove the padding.

My jacket is NOT DSG, however I can remove all the paddings and wash them. The paddings are inserted into pockets, the openings are closed by velcro. See if you can spot such velcro inside.

Handwash will be better with a mild detergent. Just make sure of not rubbing the Scotchlite reflective lining excessively as it can get damaged.

Paddings are removable however it's your choice to remove them for washing. Many tend to prefer a wash without removing paddings. Drying time will be longer in such a case

Theres a velcro for the back padding put there doesnt seem to be enough space for the padding to come through. Let me check once again today.

Thanks. I had some trouble removing the paddings. I will try again today.

Thats normal. You just have to fold it a bit and pull it out. That how they are inserted at the first place .
