    I can understand the feeling, but the thing is, full gauntlet is the better than semi. It will prevent the jacket from sliding up and exposing the skin. This happened to a friend last month, when he fell down and skidded, the jacket slid up, and his semi, or rather nada gauntlet gloves could not shield the skin from the tarmac. He walked away with bruises just on that arm though!

      Well, the sleeves of my jacket cover half my palms

      But seriously, I get what you're saying... and thanks to both nin and you for the suggestion and the explanation as well

        • Talked to bhavishya today regarding scoyco JK17. I was really impressed by the way he was talking to me. He said that the red color is not available readily here & i have to wait till april. While the black was readily available. Can Anyone help me with choosing between these colors??


          Can anyone give me a good review over the jacket & can this jacket be used in riding conditions of bangalore??

              BTW can anyone tell me if the red is worth waiting or shall i go with black??

                KRP is the place from where xBHP's official bikes gets painted. It is good and the money he asks for his products is almost worth

                  i bought this jacket yesterday from bhavishya.
                  i got the black one for myself.it completely depend upon your mindset which colour you want. the red is a bit shiny so i preferred the black

                  i feel its ok for bangalores weather condition as the weather out there is always pleasant. and not like delhi......
                  this jacket is perfect for moderate weathers.

                  • My Scoyco JK 17

                    Hi Guys just got me JK 17 riding jacket. and many many thanks to mr. bhavishya for being so prompt with arranging everything even though he was tied with lot of work. so just sharing pictures for now. will provide a report soon.

                    So far from what i see now.. the jacket is of really good quality and there are no strands of thread coming out or anything. the stitch and the armours are of top quality.


                    cheers
