Exclamation Riding gear wanted !

I am planning to go to ladakh mid june and am looking out for riding gear like gloves, jacket, protective gear, tents , sleeping bag etc. I chked out cramster and other tht provides riding gear. But the problem is tht i am not a regular rider and would not require the riding gear or any camping gear post tht. Decent riding gear is also pretty costly. 2k for gloves, 4-5 k for protetive gear. Just thought tht I can post my requirement here and if someone is willing to lend it then tht wud be really cool.

Let me know if any one has the stuff to spare for 15 days. Responsibility will be compeletely mine. Willing to pay deposit too.... Let me know

cheers. Thanks

Renting from Mumbai is not a good Idea.. Its expensive + most of the gears are required only in Hills... there is no point in paying for the days on which you are not using.. Still try with -

Those places won’t have protective riding gear and not many would be willing to rent.

My advice would be to pickup good knee guards (knees bear the brunt) and decent quality gloves (and of course helmet). While in Ladakh, dress in multiple layers, since the speed is low, with multiple layers you can take most crashes without any major damage.

Karma, hope you've read the Ladakh travelogues.
At most of the places you would not need your own tent.

There are ready tents there already! You're underestimating the problems of lugging gear around!

Take a cue from wise men! (see below)!!
