              SMX-6 Gloves - Alpinestars Official Store

              Need to buy a Shin protector plz suggest sme decent one's.

              Thanks.
              Shail,

              All the choices are perfect and nice but be sure about the Sizing Part.
              Specifically all ALPINESTAR products have varied Sizing.

              Just a month ago I also purchased a Jacket, Skull Cap and Gloves.
              Shift Racing Triton Storm Series Jacket - Street Bike - Closeout - Motorcycle Superstore

              The pricing after discount is almost similar and my quality & fit is top notch.
              Studied the user reviews carefully to narrow on the size.

              You can buy the Riding Pants of the same Jacket which you have selected and skip the Shin protector.
              Later on you can buy the Elbow & Knee Protector separately in India.

              The pricing and quality seems good too.
              Honestly I am tempted to buy the pants.

                i havent got chance to ride it in winter yet. if worn just on its own, it feels warm after a while. but things might change on ride.

                met a guy on road, he had rjay's riding jacket. he mentioned that the waterproof liner is perfectly waterproof.

                  Is it 25k or 2.5k? Sunny put up a message saying someone had to pay a hefty duty on the helmet that they ordered which cost him 9k.

                        @ Neil - Buddy, the rates for different items are different based on the description in the bill of lading and also the method of duty calculation applied.

                        The standard for your reference after all the surcharges and additional surcharges, etc., are added up is approx 30% of ( invoice + freight and insurance cost ).

                        Unfortunately, the way the system works is still pretty much haphazard and much still depends on the whims and fancies of the Customs Officer on duty at that time.

                        Heaven help you if he's in a crabby mood!

                        I recently had my leathers held up as it was marked as a 'gift' with a very small invoice value. Customs held it up for a week while DHL got me to write a letter to the Supdt. of Customs explaining that it was for personal safety use, gifted to me by my cousin abroad - got slapped with just Rs.2500 as duty. My touring boots which came through another source two days later got slapped with approx 28% on invoice value.

                        ---------------------------------------------------------------------

                            My Orazo Picus also looks the same. But it is not waterproof completely. IMO front lace-up boots cannot be fully waterproof... Just my observation. Hope you prove it wrong...

                            • ^^ The Picus can take quite a bit of rain though before getting wet from the inside...
