    ^ Cyberpunk : "Icon" stuff i.e jacket, gloves, knee/elbow guards are not available at any stores in India..!! Instead you can order it from some online store in US...like newenough, but the thing is you will have to pay heavy shipping cost with it for importing your stuff..!!

      Hey

      I recall Angel's Racing jackets were used for the GIR I think? My budget is around 5 K 6K max for that. I wanted a decent jacket with CE approved armour. Cramster offers a few an I think so does Angel's. Planet DSG was a tad expensive for me.

      Does anyone have an reviews on them? Personal experiences? WOuld be much appreciated.

        Hey everybody tis my 1st post after the overhauling of xbhp.

        I recently ordered motovation frame sliders and axel sliders and in the comments told them to write "samples" on the plastic bags....asked them to remove all te boxes and packaging and not to even send any invoice in the package.

        And viola....it was cleared without any custom duty te goods were for arnd 250 $

        And yess for apparels i am sure its 14 % bcoz i hve paid it just 4 months back.

        Cheers

                            Cheers! I was contemplating getting them but realised they might be a bit impracticle for me after seeing a video review of them.
