Hi All ... i have been away from any action as far as the rides goes for a while now. And since I am here in the city for some time, i would like to show myself up for sme good ride sme day soon.
Though I would not be able to do the NewBees ride on 3rd Feb 2013, but do we have a proposal to shift this to may be a week earlier. Its too much to be called for. But if there is any possibility, can we get this changed.
Else, any rides comin up over this weekend or on the next.

Ride safe all .. wear helmet while riding.

Hi Prathamesh,

Please wear both the jackets and check which one fits perfect. Consider the below parameters to be apt for selection of jacket.

1) It should be snug fit.
2) Freedom of movement should be present, check if you can rotate your neck freely when wearing the jacket.
3) Avoid one size bigger than required if you think you need extra space, this is safety gear.
4) Look out for good visibility, it should have proper light reflecting material.
5) Ensure the jacket has internal rain liner for wet season.
6) Check if the jacket has enough pockets to store your cell phone, wallet and other valuables during transit.
7) Check the material, should be abrasion resistant, Eg - Cordura Denier 600.
8) Internal guards should be CE approved.
9) Color of the jacket matters, its a personal choice though.
10) The jacket should fit in budget.

These are some of the parameters i would look in a jacket before buying. Coming up to your needs, i check both the links and found the RJays quite promising over the DSG Aero. My reasons -

1) I saw the mentioned DSG jacket and it does not have 3M reflective piping which is important during riding in low lighting conditions, Night, Rains, Dawn.
2) It lacks in 600 Denier fabric which has abrasion resistance.
3) It does not have YKK zippers which is renowned for its strength and ability to perform in the most rugged environments.
4) The Rjays swift, octane and jetstream are all above standards if compared to the DSG Aero.
5) If you have tight budget then wait, but dont go for Aero, sacrifice some rides and save up more for a better jacket. Its going to be one time investment till you crash or you lose the jacket so invest wisely.
6) IMO the Rjays Swift is quite good.

Hope the above the mentioned parameters help you out in selecting the right jacket. Goodluck.

I see there is discount going on for Rjay's Swift.
Personal opinion, go for Rjay's.
Just check the jacket thoroughly before buying as 'Discount' always comes with some glitches(Often not always).
P.S. Rjay's Swift doesn't come with the Reflecting material but it has the rain liner.
