speed and strength : Hang em high jacket
speed and strength : Hang em high jacket Icing on the cake: got the 5th edition 2010 of motousa.com magazine as a compliment.
2) The material is very thick, unlike any jacket we have seen in Indian market.
3) Stitching and attention to details are top notch. Very comfortable and good quality inner liner. Shoulder and elbow armour are CE approved whereas back protector is not ( BTW none of the Indian jacket features CE approved back protector ) however when compared to back protector on Indian jackets its many many times better.made of dual compound material, inside facing the back is soft and outside is relatively hard.very comfortable as well.
4) Color of the jacket is dull black ,actually i expected it to be a bit more darker in color.
5) Ventilation vents do work but you will sweat a lot in Indian weather, but its perfect for winters and can work in early summers as well.
6) Zippers are not YKK but the main zippers feels sturdy. But for some wierd reason it locks from the left instead of the usual right.i guess there are lot of lefties in the SS design team.
7) Logos are embroidery patches and have great finish.
8) Its not waterproof ,its only waterresistant and comes with a thermal vest only. Its a thermal vest and not a coat.ie its without sleeves.
9) and yes like all low and mid segment jackets in International market its also made in China.
How i wish to see a made in India top notch riding jacket.
ALL in all a great jacket with very good protection and the coolest looking riding jacket.

saw that same fox and alpinestar
as well for 3.2k. it was very flimsy, the material as well as the protectors were of low quality. i have few alpinestar protectors with me and when you see the real stuff you will never fall for these fakes. definitely fake. its very hard to get the original body armour with back protector for below $80 even during sales. anyway its better than wearing nothing at all.
I always take extra pain in ensuring that the product Iam buying will actually protect me in the event of a crash. The simplest way is to buy a CE approved one from a reputed company and if possible counter check the availability of the particular model in the manufacturers' website. or buy from authorised dealers." if WRONG is a T-shirt ; then wearing it inside out doesn't make it RIGHT "

Ya I bought this in Delhi, Karol Bagh ofcourse
The armour looks pretty impressive. The protectors also seem to protect me in an unfortunate event of a crash. I already have a solid leather jacket to wear on top of this. It costs 1300 hereThe best things in life are realized on two wheels!
