Im in hunt for a Yellow/Black combo Riding gear or atleast a good lid(Helmet) to match my ride. Can some one suggest any specific model ?

What's the Budget ? there are some very cool AGV with yellow stickering. also some nice vega ones for a lower budget. Check out the joe rockets also at joerockets.com clap:

Thanks buddy for the suggestion, Budget is only secondary. Primarily i have to like it. :) So you got any pics of the same ?

have some pics of joe rocket helmets. again, you will have to look around. also try AA and AH helmets in jogeshwari for indian lids. you can google the address.

Thakns buddy, so any idea how much these will cost ?

around 15K per lid. though some of them might be higher. also there is a waiting period of around a week as they need to be imported from the US.

Thats my current riding gear :

Helmet : vega Boolean Rs. 1700/-
Jacket : DSG Black Rs. 5000/-
Gloves : DSG Rs. 850/-
Knee Guards : Alpinestar bionics Rs. 3750/-
Shoes : Normal Buccaro Rs. 2500/- (planning to get Alpinestar riding boots)

hi throttleking, wasn't that pic taken during RMX? how does the boolean hold up during rides on highways? any whistling ? how do you negate that?

Yes the pic is taken at RMX. I have been using Boolean since last 1.5 yrs and it holds up very well during highway rides as well as offroading. its pretty comfortable too. The only problem is, it has in built sun glasses which pops out when you jump over the bump or rough patch. So i will take those out. For rs. 1700 it is VFM.

By the way , have any of you guys bought from outdoortravelgear.com ? if yes, how is their delivery and reliability, mainly for gloves and other small knick knacks.

I generally use either cramster or On The Rocks-The Adventure Store

Both stock decent stuff and while one is based in Bangalore the other is in Hyderabad.

Check out the Buffs on the adventure site:

Its a super cool thing to have. You must be able to find it elsewhere as well.

I however prefer my Kaifah inside the helmet.

feeling sick at the attitude of DSG,
'we offer no exchange facility'

now how can i go to delhi/pune to buy riding gears and blow 15K on travelling?

My fiancee gifted me the Eclipse - by Vega (Black) which is an open-jaw sibling of the Boolean for my daily rides to work.

I had to go back to the shop as the visor she had got for me was with the mercury coating and wanted to get it replaced.

Got it done at no additional cost along with the shades (glasses) inside which was plain, which I swapped for a darker one.

Current prices :-

Boolean (closed jaw - modular) - Rs. 1250/- (1400/- for ones with graphics)

Eclipse (open face) - Rs. 850/-

To know more - Home (thehelmetshoppe)

PM me for the shop where you can pick it up from - he is a authorised dealer for Vega helmets and best part is that he even services them with the spares he has stocked at all the time (inner removable lining to visors and side panels).

guys , came back on sunday after a 380 km ride wearing my new Joe rocket. NO WHISTLING whatsoever. amazingly comfortable to wear, love it. guess the price is worth it :D

Do performance Racing guys exchange clothing if shipped clothing is large/small?
