You should check the local Harley Store. They may have some tube bandanas (if you are not averse to going near a Harley that is) :-)

Just picked up the AGV K3 SV 5-Continents in S size. Always wanted one and a visit to Bangkok sealed the opportunity for me. Just for info, this is where i picked it up from. http://www.bkkspeed.com/

Wasn't this the same helmet Kaushik put up for sale. So you bought it off his friend?

Had ordered a KAVACi Indianapolis Black Napa Leather Riding jacket in Black at the IBW - http://www.amazon.in/KAVACi-Indianap...5735933&sr=1-1 . Got a fantastic deal price of 7k at IBW for it (MRP 13k).

It is quite well designed and comfortable and seems like built to last a lifetime.

Thats the advantage of these tubes. can be worn in umpteen different ways and they aren't too choking etc.

But 150?? :Shockked: I don't know how good/bad these are.

They are made it china, hence the price. I tried one (bought 4) on last night and it was pretty nice. Tom i shall wear it for a ride to get the actual feel on the highway. The fit and finish is the same as the link provided by Dodge_Viper, saw it at a store from the link but they had a trial piece only. That one costs Rs 899 a piece.

Hey Speedy, the one that Kau had put up was my own helmet if you check the mobile number mentioned in the ad. I sold that one (regular K3) already. This one is the newly launched K3 SV and i love it. Long story, will let you know when we chat. Lets ride together soon.

Guys, I'm upgrading my motorcycle probably next month. So I'm in the market for riding gear. Since there are no decent stores in my vicinity I'm forced to take the online route. I have zeroed in on Spartan helios Jacket since kerala is a humid place. But I'm confused about the sizing of the jacket. I'm using a 42 size shirt. What should be the size i must choose. I know it's always recommended to try it out before buying but it's pretty difficult for me.
Also please suggest a pair of gloves under 3.5k mark

I wear shirt size 42 and use Spartan Helios in L size.

Initially it will be a bit tight. But will loosen up over use.

Do let us know the review. I too have 3-4 of them but never tried while riding. I use a cotton balaclava instead which covers the entire head till neck with only eyes open :).
