    • I agree with realredice, it's not a good time for overseas shopping, with rupee hovering about 49/50rs per dollar.

          Saw those Progrip Gloves. Alpinestars seem better than these.

            • Its been more than 5 months since i bought myself the Cramster Summer Mesh touring jacket and Gloves from the bangalore outlet... And i have to say everytime i travel out without the gear on i feel something amiss...

              The Mesh jacket cost 4.5k and the gloves 1.1k.. its been through close to 3 long trips and has served very well. never too heavy and never too hot. It is perforated and easy to notice in the night since it has scotchlite material from 3M (i think)..

              And ofcourse the attention it draws at every signal is a given

                • And the best thing is the jacket comes with a separate water proof jacket for the rains and it fits snugly in the zip pouch at the back of the jacket..

                      Oh and it got shipped within a week!

                        alpinestar raven is quite a good option..!!

                        One suggestion: When you look for a gloves see the palm side, make sure the cloth is kind of a leather thing...
                        coz i'm having a different cloth and its starting rubbing off

                        • why don't you go for these ones: DSG Primal Gloves - Rs2,499.00

                          • ^^ have those primal gloves
                            good thing is it insulates the jacket completely and you don't get the water in the jacket at all (coupled with dsg nero jacket i have)
                            these are ventilated and thus the gloves do get wet in the rain.

                            the product is good though in quality, still no signs of the stitches coming off or the colour fading out after rugged use

                            sizing isnt proper. i had to go for xl as l was too uncomfortable. the xl is lil loose.

                            yes i have big hands somewhere between xl and l sizes


                            are the riding boots and pants from cramster good enough ?
                            those are probably the next things ill buy in order to completely have a riding gear set ready for use all the time. budget is 10k and i need both the shoes and pants, cant order overseas as the shipping cost alone doubles the price taking it upto 8k

                              I have a pair of Octane series gloves from alpinestars. AND I just got myself a riding jacket from Cramster, which is extremely comfortable as long as I don't have the weather-proof lining inside. That is strictly for cold weather only - UNLESS you enjoy melting inside your jacket.

                              I was able to take a look at the riding boots from Cramster. I didn't try it on, so I'm not really sure about how comfortable it is. But the boots look sturdy enough and I think they're a good buy if you can get them in size.

                              are creating a nuisance by riding recklessly on the roads, PLEASE share the same with
