Only a few of the online stores in US provide good quality riding jackets and stock the stuff with them......!! Rest just order the stuff from other vendors...

That is there from the past 4 months....!! and the mere fact that its there is that its not getting sold....!! And on the other hand if you see a Joe Rocket Lucky Jacket was also there for $85......but its out of stock now(i wanted to order that only but due to its non-availability i cudn't order)....!!

Read the website:
We can recommend this jacket for cold to warm weather and/or wet conditions (but not hot weather.)

Newenough provides this very useful description for each item, and I think India classifies as a 'hot weather' country

I was actually eyeing one of these two gloves:

http://www.newenough.com/closeouts/gloves/power_trip_us_army_branded_gear/bravo_motorcycle_gloves.html

Was planning to maybe group order it, by asking here. But xbhp was offline, and then damn dollar ran up from 40rs to 48rs

If there are enough buyers, we can pull up some group buy for this, so we can share the shipping cost.

Duh! I thought that was common for all 'Textile' jackets man!

For Hot weather, we use Mesh! shimple!

@inder... yaar nahi bika to kya hua, its a decent brand for a good price.... usually the way it works is that even this follows the fashion season! so something that is a last years design will go for like 40% price the next year and dirt cheap if still not sold.... A friend i know of bought a Zara jacket for like 5USD! beat that!

Huh? 5USD? Was it made of tissue paper?

Prajwal

The way this industry works is that as soon as the cost of stocking goes higher than the cost recoverable (not sales price but much lesser than that) the product is disposed at whatever it can get...
now a days they burn em.... i guess 5 USD was much better.... and I said Zara!!!
Aah!

Some more cheap mesh jackets

Street Apparel:Mesh Jackets

Has anyone shopped from them?

I wouldn't call it safer than what u get here from Planetdsg or Cramster, for the simple reason that the elbow and shoulder protectors are not CE certified. Usually, the CE certified ones would be rubber injected mouldings and are a lot more effective than foam based protectors on impact. That said, you could also order a complete set of protectors seperately, and swap the original foams with them.

Prajwal

Thanks Prajwal! Im planning to get the jacket ONLY for daily commute - so would buy the CE certified protectors and use it when ever im on a Long Ride / Tour.

for a deal of 70 check the closeouts at NewEnough you will get better options for a small premium over it!

Thanks SP.. But not much attractive one's currently available in NewEnough.. Just certain stuff that they are keeping for a long time..

Why aren't too many people interested in the Jackets offered by Cramster? Why do they go to great lengths ordering other brands online when you have Cramster offering jackets? Cramster armour is CE certified too right?

Anybody have an opinion on the mesh jacket by Cramster?

Cramster offers excellent Quality and priced well - But my budget is around 3000 INR. Cramster's Jackets are around 4000 INR.
See This!

Search on net for the review of the jacket. If you can't find one, I'd suggest don't buy it, coz there are reviews where after a few years, the non branded jackets just fall off, come out of seam etc. My opinion is that the jacket is not worth buying, because of inferior quality protection. The quality difference between any local made jacket and branded is phenomenal. For additional 20-30 dollars, you can get a good branded jacket. Buy one with CE protectors, not the 'blasted foam' ones.

Also, I'd suggest don't go for only 'air vents' jacket. India in general is a hot country, and you'll be sweating like hell. Go for a mesh one, preferably with a liner inside.

And lastly, buying such things is mostly safe. Only thing is you have to be sure about your size. Go to the manufacturer's website, there it will be given how much chest/waist should be fitting which measurement, and order accordingly.

Thanks animeher - i saw some reviews - general response is "Good value For Money!"

Hey, we can club up orders and make a bulk purchase, if that would lower the shipping costs involved. Can someone take the lead and select a website to place orders? I need an Alpinestars S-MX3 glove (red) and a T-Dyno Jacket.
