@shivank
Have you tried the Cramster Laplace?
Its pretty big for a Jacket and few other things.Its got a helmet holder on the outside too.
Ive been using it both as my Riding & Travel bag for sometime now and very happy with it.

Thank you for the solution, Ranjith.

Right now this seems to be the best budget-backpack for bikers. I have found the solution anyway.

I'd be keeping my jacket in my friend's car. Only bothersome task that remains now is to take it from bike-parking to car-parking ( which is at some distance).

Thinking of a backpack still, but not much dedicated to riding gears only.

Ooops! Sorry!

When you had opted for the AStars jacket even though it was unsuitable for your daily use, I thought that you were a brand hog - my bad!

Well, that I am (in bold). I won't lie.

Even if its a wrong choice, I am pretty much satisfied with the purchase (like any typical owner would say!)

Actually, when you search for user reviews on google/riding gear forums, the TRC-1 is always reviewed to as an AIR-FLO jacket. Just google it and check. This is where I went wrong. I am still all confused why there isn't any air-flow in mine. Obviously, the two jackets are different make using the same name.

On a more serious note, I appreciate your determination to gear up when its not convenient to do so. A lot of office-goers even on this forum leave their gear behind simply because they don't want to be bothered with the hassle of changing, and storing the gears to and from office.

Thanks mate!.

If anytime, I feel like not kitting up in my jacket. I shall come back and read this post. Appreciation is a strong force that you give to human beings, works quite like the turbo-boost you get from cars of today. You don't think of your convenience after that.

Guys..
can anybody tell me how are Orazo riding boots.
Are they VFM and what about the protection offered.

I have their Picus model. They have good protection for the toe and ankle. Great sole! But no protection for the shin even in this model or I-Bis. Due to the steel tip front, they are not tapered and hence make shifting gears slightly slower as compared to tapered shoes. You cannot put your toe under the gear to upshift, and would have to rest it on the footrest all the time; which is a good thing. You can use the protruding strip around the shoe to upshit the gear. Not a problem, but thought I'd mention. Also they are not waterproof! Seeing the protection they offer I would say its VFM,but I would also say that its better to save and invest double the amount to get better riding boots such as RJays or A*

Cool. Waiting for it.

I'm yet to zero in on a pair of knee-guards. Hence don't know the cost.
I don't mind spending upto $60.

[nikhil220]

hey guys i am saving up to buy my gears soon and suddenly got this question. Does the knee guard scratch the tank when riding? Also i am 6feet tall. does the fairing pose any problems while wearing the knee gaurds?

[RanjithMN]

Once again.Any relatively cheap chest protectors to be used under the CRAMSTER Jacket?

They scratch the tank when you're riding. Recommend you wear them inside trousers or put a transparent vinyl film on your tank.
