Call the DSG guys as well planetdsg.com

Also always remember buy as much as you can afford, you never know when it will pay off. Trust me. :D

^^ I cant find the MX3 model in planetdsg. All are alpinestars. And good looking ones cost a bomb.

I can compromise on the price in need of quality. So, can you suggest some alpinestars models?

I drive in Delhi, and now winter has started.

Right now using a half gloves, bought from the payment of connaught place, after a bargain for 30 rupees :)

Alpinestars is a little expensive but quite worth it, they do have many models in the lower price range. I guess you were looking at full gp series. You dont need that you can buy the cheaper ones around 3000ish they are also good.

I have just recently ordered quite a box from sportbiketrackgear which I can hardly wait for to arrive. One of the articles is a pair Alpinestar gloves which seem to be quite a buck for what I paid. Lets see how vfm and well finished they actually are once the stuff reaches me.

manson.

I shortlisted 2 type of gloves each in Street and Offroad categories, find the links below,
Alpinestars Dual Gloves : 09 Red Black - Rs1,999.00

Alpinestars Raven Gloves Blue - Rs2,399.00

Also to mention Cramsters MX3 is already shortlisted.

Can you let me know which suits for a daily wear?

guys this is my current riding gear

Recently i bought a STUDDS Bravo Red helmet with grahics.
The quality for the price of Rs 950/- is highly appreciable and recommended.

Hi Guys
I was thinking of going in for my first riding jacket and found this link
Men's Black and Grey Armored Motorcycle Tri-Tex™ Fabric Jackets

Is it worth the money , anyother suggestions will be most welcome. A friend of mine will get it for me when she returns to India this December.

Thanks in advance

I'm using that jacket for more than a year now - extremely satisfied with it - Please remember to order one size larger than your regular size!

Hey that is one cheap deal!

Very interested in this. Is this one of those christmas time discounts Navpreet was referring to?

Thank you very much for the prompt reply.:)
Will go for it , Does it come with Armour on the arms?
Will I have to pay for customs duty on it , if its shipped?


No its not a Christmas discount , its been on sale for some time now.

Thanks and regards

How good is 'XElement'?

Any idea what could be the best jacket sub Rs.6000?

It does come with padded CE Approved Armour

I asked my friend coming down from USA to get it for me - So find some one coming from US to get it for you, Not sure of import duties if ordered online.

xElement is good enough, I'm not comparing with a Cramster or a DSG - But its worth every penny - I have been using it for more than a year and it has served me very well.

Spine Guard and a new helmet is on the wish list for christmas this year. Please someone gift me a 1 piece suit! :D

Ummm... That put me in a bigger fix.

Is 'XElement' > Cramster?

It seems to be cheaper than Cramster for sure. If it isn't really good, I would much rather go with a Breezer 2.0 or a Pulse.

Another question: If I buy a size bigger on the Breezer, can I wear it on a sweatshirt in the winters?

The Breezer looks better than the Pulse IMO.

Between the two, which one would you guys suggest?
