Any particular reason you said about the removable mesh lining ?

Yes; you may want to buy a removable lining, unless you want to get soaked in sweat during Summer.

Are the DSG Revive and Vector Waterproof ? The Rjays Jetstream and canyon are same price as DSG but not waterproof.



Are Rjays Swift water resistant ? Will it be any good in rainy season ?

Kirsh - Revive is not for sure; why don't you check the website to get basic education & then come back here for specifics.

Nothing on part of Waterproofing is mentioned in the DSG website, i have scanned it already. I was hoping for real life usage experience to know about it.
Its much more reliable than company claims anyway.
Also dont want to buy something without having the proper information

None of these jackets can handle Indian monsoon. Best you wear a Duckback Rain wear over it

Kirsh - And remember to keep your riding gears separately from rain gears; do not try to save money by combining them, it will not be of great help. My suggestion for rain gear always goes for one piece rain suit; though little difficult to wear, it offers the best protection than the regular two suit.

Just Google or browse this thread & you'll find more answers than the official websites as they've been discussed to death.

I had checked other forums like bcmtourning or something and there they have vouched for them performing good in rains, some even went on to say that even in heavy rainfall they dint get wet on the inside.
As far as i'm concerned, if slight to moderate drizzles can be handled by the jacket then that is more than enough for me.
For heavy rains i have my rain coat. So that i can manage.

Will do , i have my rain gears separate,I have duckback rain coat, the 2 piece ones, its very good quality and does the job very efficiently.

Have did that also, but not to a great extend. Will do proper research before finalizing anything. Moreover i can post here to get my doubts clarified. So i'm not worried.

I have decided to go for the DSG Triton Jacket and about the gloves DSG Revive or Vector, one of my friends use the vector i liked the look and ffel,also good protection. But ill go to AQ and check both models and decide on one of them.
Have already ordered Fox elbow and knee guards, once i get the jacket the elbow guards will have to sit out.

DSG Acqua is waterproof

Thanks bro, but as of now i have decided to go with the vector or revive,i do realize they are not waterproof. Thanks for the help
