  • Dainese

    Hi there!

    Had a few questions regarding Dainese

    Could you let me know where do you guys purchase Dainese gear from? I checked with newenough and ridersdiscount, both of them do not stock them. Amazon and ebay have very limited collection.

    Currently I have a JR Atomic jacket and no pants yet. So, planning to go for an leather gear as I am not at all comfortable in the others.

    Help appreciated. Thanks!

    • Fieldsheer High Flow II Mesh Jacket

      Just bought a Fieldsheer High Flow II Mesh Jacket from Motorcycle-Superstore. It was quoting $54.99 (+ $6.99 for local shipping). Was initially considering the SS Twist of Fate available for $59.99, but was not available in my size.

      Have purchased it through iccworld they are charging me a grand total of Rs. 4893/- (I suspect they might charge a bit of Octroi on delivery). Thats good considering that ebay was charging $100 extra just to ship it to India (excl. taxes and duties).

      Heres an image of the jacket. I have chosen the black colour. Plan to write a mini review once I get it. Lets see...


      @experts out here
      Is it a decent deal?

                    Saw these gloves in Wellington,

                    They are available at a stall opposite to MP enterprise in Wellington.
                    Dont know if the models are same. but the gloves which I have seen are of Scoyco.

                            • ^^^^ There's one shop at Andheri AH, helmets.It's basically a helmet store but also sells guards(becareful about the fox guards...Just a word of caution) It's close to infinity mall... Search it on google maps you'll find it. There's one shop at wadala, custom designs which sell's decent gloves and jackets. These are a few one's which I bought my stuff from.

                              I would rather be riding my bike thinking of God, than sitting in the temple thinking of my bike.
