Can you narrow down your requirements... as in do you need it for commuting or for sunday rides, Do you even have intentions of covering rains in these jackets, how is your riding city or highway??
Just narrow down your own requirements then a suggestion can be given which will help in selecting the right one....Right now i guess you are only considering the design and colors these jackets have....

@[email protected] - Its like asking, I've Rs 100, should I buy Idlies or Dosa for breakfast. Pls don't take it as offense, but the point is, buy the one you like or do a research as what suits you more on all the 5 of them or buy based on brand or buy the one that you think suits you or more superior or provided best VFM for your budget.

Define your requirements & then you'll be able to figure out which one to buy by yourself.

Guys, I'm planning to buy some riding gear.. Jacket, gloves & knee caps and as it has started to rain, probably some kind of water proof lowers as well.

I am basically a city commuter traveling almost 60 kms daily. I also plan to make a few trips around mumbai area on weekends. Can you please help me identify the best set of items in a reasonable budget.

I'm looking to go for the bare basics first.. not planning to spending heavy as of now, but it should serve the purpose too.

It would be very kind of you to also mention a few places around malad area where I can get these from.

Riding Jacket

Nice

But the questions which hit my mind right at the moment I saw this are:

Won't a small part of the boots and knee/shin guards overlap each other?

Won't the boots prove uncomfortable for walking while having them on? (Considering the instances of getting off the bike for the picture capturing or eating breaks while touring, and similar conditions in city riding too when you need to get off your bike and walk to fetch some or the other things. Are you gonna keep swapping your boots everytime?
