Thanks guys...do you recommend the Cramster or the foll. FOX
it looks good and feels good and comfortable...the protection feels solid too but i doubt if its genuine,it looks though!

Picked up the TRG2 Gloves + Cramster Waist Pack + Cramster Balaclava yesterday for 2950/-. No discount give

This is a minuscule investment toward refreshing my riding gear. Damn! now the biggies Jacket and Helmet need to be slowly replaced too.

guys...

got my self a DSG NERO...

I was actually planing to check out Cramster and went to the Bangalore outlet...

I was told that the raptor is out of stock and will take a month to come or might be discontinued also...

Then checked out a store at Forum Mall Bangalore which has some riding gear.
The shopkeeper says he got the jackets from Bangkok.
Tried a yamaha jacket that he had and found it to be very heavy as compared to DSG Nero. Also it had only foam padding and no back protection at all.

Finally tried DSG Nero at Orion motors opposite Forum and found it very comfortable. Got it for 5250/-

Here is a pic... with me in it

Good for you, hope you have fun with it on the Yercaud trip

Thank God for small mercies.

A difference of just 50 bucks between the two. Do let us know more on the quality of the jacket. Very interested to know how it fares compared to Cramster.

Tried the DSG Nero earlier before I purchased my cramster riding jacket. Fit was great but was a tad heavy. Should have bought this instead.

Quite a number of guys from Blore on xbhp have the Nero (me included). Everyone has a problem with the fitting at the waist but otherwise its a thumbs up for the Nero from most people I know.

Apparently the prices of the DSG Falcon have come down to Rs 3790 from Rs 4500 as per their site.

I liked those boots of your how much you paid for it and from where yougot it.
plz upload a closeup pic for the same.

here are the close up pics. the pant is a offroad one with basic padding in hip region and knee. getting the knee gaurd from cramster which would complete my riding gear set.

shoes costed me Rs.5000($110)
Jacket costed me Rs. 5000~ ($99.99) + shipping- was a steal as i bought them in sale.
all things are brought down to india by my friends.

p.s. pics taken from mobile cam so the quality is low.

Here in mumbai i was offered the same set for rs 700/-.
I asked only for knee guards from the set he was ready to selll the same for rs 400/-.
But i didn't like feel of it and also plastic quality doesn't seems good.

Cramster VS Alpinestar Vs FOx

[sagarraikar]

Knee guards

@ aarun

1) cramster - i've tried and tested cramster fells good and looks good costs (Rs.1500/-)
2)Alpinestars - not seen or tested yet (price=?)
3) Fox - plastic quality not good might not last for 2 fall.(RS 400 only knee guard.)

All leather gloves rob you of some sensory feedback. If you can comprise on the leather part, check out those like the Probiker one in this link. This was my first gloves.

Looks light, but what are they made of? Is the material abrasion resistant? By the way, noticed that my "alpinestars" are ripping at one of the joints - must be fake -

Now I MUST get a new pair and I'm stuck.
