        • ^^^ I'm confused; what is that you're looking for
          Skill is what keeps you on a Motorcycle
          Awareness + Skill is what keeps you out of harm's way
          ATGATT + Awareness + Skill means you might Live To Ride another day

            My friend recently bought a joe rocket riding pant which had a zip to attach with his older joe rocket jacket. Or you could also buy the R Jay's jacket and pant. Both the jacket(octane preferably) and the pant(only 1 available on the site) can be made into one piece with the help of a zip.

                  I will vouch for this because I have been using them for almost a year and a half daily(to go to college) and had a fall with it too where it had good contact with the road. It's still in good condition, did not tear at all during the fall and saved me loads of scratches during the fall. Other than that the gloves are in very good condition. It provides good ventilation too

                        +1 Quality of DSG Revive is extremely good. Several notches above Cramster Twister. My Cramster Twister gloves looked used and worn-out after 10km of usage. They even used to lose color when they got wet in the rain. So my hands would always come out purple/green in color.

                        My DSG Revive is in a much much better condition by comparison even after 15-17k km. It doesn't look worn out yet, its armor is holding up better, it doesn't lose color if it gets wet in the rain, its air-vents work better and you don't feel sweaty even in summer heat.

                        I have always stayed away from the Mesh type gloves because they never seem to last more than 1500km. Also I would trust leather over Mesh wherever possible when it comes to providing abrasion resistance.
                        Advice is a form of nostalgia.
                        Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

                        • I remember mom gave me 2000 & told me to invest not more than 1500 on gloves. Twister cost 1500 & revive 1900 back then & I bought twister, I tried revive. I know how comfortable revive were, but my buddhi didn't work & I didn't save up 400 more.
                          Don't think, just buy it.

                          • I had bought DSG Triton and Cramster T2RG.
                            I had gone to get DSG vector but it wasn't there and i was said that it would take over an month for him to get it. So settled with T2RG.It seems ok, not much problem using it. Just a little scared if the stitches will give way after sometime having heard many such cases about cramster.
                            Now about DSG Triton, it is big and a bit bulky too. The length is a little longer than for its size. It looks good and has the Armour position correctly , but though it says CE approved armour it doesn't feel so good, don't know how much will it help in the event of a fall.
                            And the heat is just too much at stand still during the summer days , even without the liner. While moving it is ok , you wont feel the heat, but stop for a few minutes and things start to change inside. It gets very very sweaty.

                              The trition according to what I read is a jacket to be worn in the cold, that's why it's freeze resistant upto -25deg. Not so much suited for warm weather.

                                Yes now after using it i would also agree. But while moving you wont feel the heat or humidity, and the humidity here in kerala is also a very big factor.
