Actually I was with a friend of mine, we went to buy Spartan but ended up seeing Ls 2 jackets which were 700 INR more than Spartan, but i would Like to mention the Build Quality of LS 2 Jackets , they were just Awesome. Only concern was how are they Practically? if someone of our brothers have used them. There was no Medium size available hence didnt bought. so meanwhile i posted here to know if any reviews [Good/Bad] :P

Thanks

I did my fair bit of research on riding jackets before making the investment, but sometimes, you're just not at your best and make some investments under influence/haste (your own/others). Mine was haste or you might say, I just went for the Looks !

Pros :
1) Looks like a normal jacket, so you're not an alien walking in the Mall wearing this one
2) Dries pretty quickly (because it gets in that condition too, very fast)
3) The build quality & finishing is good
4) The pockets are waterproof
5) Easily removable liner and guards

Cons :
1) The material used as base is not waterproof
2) The liner doesn't absorb sweat quickly
3) Guards don't hold there position (lacks an elbow strap)
4) The cuff is pretty uncomfortable
5) Lacks a proper waist band

Its pretty good when it comes to riding in pleasant weather of cities like Pune and B'lore. But gives up in a light shower. But when it comes to hardcore riding or long tours, you'd want a jacket which you wouldn't require to adjust frequently. The elbow and shoulder armor is of good quality, but doesn't stay the way it is supposed to be, as it isn't mesh, on high speeds it becomes uncomfortable as the armor tends to change the position as if they have a mind of thr own.

Ventilation is through 2 slits in front, looks like a pocket but is actually for ventilation, need to be zipped down from neck in hot weather.

The best part, it looks and feels great, you can use it on a daily basis, wherever you go, mall, movie, shopping. Because carrying the gear at such places becomes troublesome !!

LS2 is like a blonde. Can be an arm candy but isn't an intellectual property...

If you wanna go for the looks and are not into hardcore riding but just weekends and city rides, LS2 is for you... But if you are tourer, I'd suggest you evaluate other options too...

Thanks Sanchit for your Valuable Inputs, I think it will serve my purpose as i am not a hardcore rider just couple of weekend rides in a month or so.
i do checked its[LS2] build quality comparing Spartan, (this is completely my point of view i am not marketing LS2 actual Scenario may be different) . Spartan was no where and yes as you said it is missing the Mesh Ventilation so it could be a trouble riding in hot and humid climatic conditions.

Also if you can put some lights on jackets with strict 7.5k-8k budget , initially i started with 6k budget and its extended to 8k now. so dont want to extend it anymore.
