Cramster launched Breezer 4.0

Was doin some research and this is what i come across...
Cramsters has apparently launched their 4.0 version of the Breezer jacket ()....

My question...
Does this mean I can get the 3.0 cheaper now?

Great news..!! But before thinking of 3.0 getting cheaper, think whether they are gonna phase it out or not. I think breezer 4.0 will be a replacement for 3.0..

Yes... Was planning to save up for the 3.0, but I enquired and found that they are phasing it out... The 4.0 comes with detachable warm and rain liners...

Damn it..!!! Now the Breezer has got dearer.. But why the price hike..? Whats new in it..?

[Sarvajit]

So many Breezer versions&price increasing with every new version...I remember buying the last piece of the 1st model of Breezer at around Rs.4100. It came with a raincoat free!

"Phase out?". I don't think that should be an issue as far as apparel are concern. Its not like they will suddenly have spare parts or upgrade issues . The concern should be whether the jacket meets your budget & requirement.

i dont understand what you are trying to say. What i said is that, with the new 4.0 in market, breezer 3.0 is no longer available. Cramster wont be producing breezer 3.0 anymore. Thats why i said its gonna be phased out. I think its clear now.

Hey I own a Rjays Swift (XL size)

Check out the image attached.

It is pretty good for Mumbai weather. Though the sweat-machine that I am, I still end up sweating a lot inside but atleast I don't dehydrate myself out!

It is very comfortable to wear as well and you can wear it to work/rides without any issues .

Got it from Bachho Motors.

hey how much did it came for?? i am confused between Joe Rocket Phoenix 5.0 priced 10k at performance racing and now R Jays..

Not sure if i'd personally prefer leather for touring... the heat & rain can really be a bother... so its best suited only for winters...

Review pl

Picked up the JK-17 (reviewed very well on this thread somewhere). Good armour & definitely VFM. Got it on wed.

Hi i am really confused between Joe Rocket, RJays and now Scoyoco. Joe Rocket Phoenix 5.0 is around 10k in mumbai (Performance Racing Store), RJays Military jacket: 7.5k (Bachoo motors)

or should i directly order from New Enough sells motorcycle jackets, helmets, gloves, luggage, tires, parts, etc. :: New Enough ?? any idea if the customs creates any trouble when the shipment hits the Indian shores?

i am not sure about Scoyco.. haven't heard of this brand before!! A suggestion from your end or anyone in this thread would be really helpful


Thanks

Guys any of you who have used credit cards to shop online on US website please answer this.

I just enquired at hdfc credit cards who said that for any foreign purchase there is a mark up fee ( or currency conversion fee) @ 3.5 %

For ex. for a item costing to Rs.5000 after conversion Rs.175 will be charged as mark up fee

Further there will be a charge of 10.30 % on this mark up fee i.e. rs.17.

Can any of you confirm for the same??

Yes, it is the same with citi credit cards. They charged me the same 3.5% as markup fee & 10.3% on the markup charges.
