Yup. Saw that as well. Only mentioned it since guys were interested in that particular jacket. In any case,at 200$ there are better alternatives. Wait till Christmas. There's bound to be more discounts.
By the way,your elbow guards are Adult Size or Youth? I might get a pair but confused over the size since I am quite thin.

There is no size of elbow or knee guards , they are standard size !
By the way my elbow guards (AXO) are still with me brand new ... i never used them as my jacket sports an elbow armour... so if in case you need only elbow guards you can take mine I havnt used 'em even once.

may be online its available... but i have never seen a guy purchasing guards in different sizes. I may be wrong... but there is no such sizes in AXO... which we get in india for around 1-1.2k

[chicmagnet]

^^ yea I saw Fox knee/elbow guards in sizes but not seen AXO in different sizes. It is available in one 'free size' only.

I'm thinking of ordering the Twist of Fate through ICCworld. Anyone else interested in ordering something from motocycle-superstore so we could save some on shipping?!!

Guys,

Any good jackets for the cruiser folks available in Mumbai? Most of the gear on cramster/elsewhere don't seem to be for the cruiser type. Any leads for good shops in Mumbai or online purchases?

Knee Guard

If any one is shopping from http://motorcycle-superstore.com/
Check out the section of knee guards as well . they have a great collection of good and low cost knee guard (and off course the original Fox, Axo , Thor , alpine start , etc.. )..
just search for knee guard in the search box you will get more than 50 results

Found alpine star Reflex knee guard
Alpinestars Reflex Knee Guards - Street Bike - Motorcycle Superstore

It is really a VFM product . Cost 25 $ (1.2 K ) . SO if you are buying anything from this site dont forget to add this also with the bundle so that you can save shipping cost (in case you order separately ) ..

Sad that i ddint notice this when i order my jacket ..
I would have been included this also in the bundle .

I hope i can get this next time i do a purchase ..

Also persons looking for Joe Rocket jacket here is a close out deal going on newenough.com

http://www.newenough.com/street/closeouts/textile_jackets_and_pants/joe_rocket/atomic_3_textile_motorcycle_jacket.html

cost 89.99 $ and you will get a free shipping to anywhere in US also ..

[harishsangwan]

A friend of mine will be going to US and I have the opportunity to get myself some good riding gear from there.
What brand would you guys suggest? I am from Hyderabad, so what kind of jacket should I be looking for? I am more concerneed about all the heat out here, dont wanna get all sweaty after every ride.

Considering your criteria you need a mesh jacket ..
There is a close out sale going on Speed and strength mesh jacket in US. But i dont know how long we will have the offer (as your friend is still in India )
you can get the details posts from my in the previous page .
you will get it for55 $ ( 2.5K) plus shipping .. if you purchase for more than 89$ shipping is free .. so what you can do is get minimum two sets of knee guard (one for you and one for your freind if he need one )
so it will be more than 89 $ ..
There are plenty of good knee guards available in
motorcycle-superstore.com including alpinestar reflex.. refer my previous post ..

Regarding gloves i couldnt find any good deals there .. so better you can buy DSG revive or cramster Trg2 from here .. so for around 4 K you can get a good mesh jacket (with water proof liner) and a good knee guard ..
dont forget to follow the sizing chart closly while buying jacket
(i am still not sure whether my jacket will be correct fit .yet to get the jacket . i ordered large as small all and medium was not there in close out sale and also 40 size shirt(medium ) is small for me )

The sites you can check for good deals is
www.motorcycle-superstore.com
www.newenough.com
www.ridersdiscount.com
www.revzilla.com (free shipping for above 39 $)
www.bikebandit.com

Help abt Riding Gears...

Hi guys... I have a query here.. I dont know if this has been discussed earlier.. My budget is 5.5k to 6k... Am looking to buy myself a good jacket..

I have shortlisted Rjays and Cramster, as I have heard abt a lot of quality issues with DSG.. Which of these two is better???

I would like if the Jacket would be effective both in sun and rain.. (Rain Liner..) Please give me your opinions.. As I have no knowledge about Jackets..

My Shirt size would be 39... And am of a slim body type.. If it makes any difference..

My budget is 5.5k to 6k... Am looking to buy myself a good jacket..

http://www.planetdsg.com/dsg-nero-jacket-p-468.html; its suited more during Winters & Rains; for summer you need to buy DSG Maze Jacket : Black - Rs5,999.00

I have shortlisted Rjays and Cramster...two is better???

Quality issues with DSG or Cramster?

I would like if the Jacket would be effective both in sun and rain..

Hmmm...is there one single jacket that serves both the purpose? I'd be interested to know too!!! From my understanding, features of rain jackets + air flow jackets are not available under one!!!

My Shirt size would be 39... And am of a slim body type.. If it makes any difference..

Nope; just buy the right size for you. Try out before you buy one.
