Re: Which riding Jacket
meteor is nice, seen it with arpan, give him a mail and ask. dsg is with hrishi. they can tell experiences.

my current cortech drax is pretty much like dsg one but i would say buy from a dealer, you can see quality (or lack thereof) of padding/armor only in person, plus size it well. take it when ure in delhi next, orenroute to agra! i like the dsg one by look, but pls check out in person!

Re: Which riding Jacket
put in a lil more money and get astars...
both are decent... but nothing compared to Astars.

I use DSG Nero. Looking to upgrade to a Astars.

My personal all time fav is this
http://www.alpinestars.com/Barcelona.../p/310087.html
and this
http://planetdsg.com/product_info.ph...roducts_id=707

But might end up buying this -
http://planetdsg.com/product_info.ph...roducts_id=319
Good for all seasons and weather in India. Wear anything over it. Depending on the condition.

My recommendation for YOUR needs would be this
http://planetdsg.com/product_info.ph...roducts_id=220
I have tried it. Nothing beats the quality and the feel of the T-Stunt2.

Push the budget a little more. Get quality. Its your skin and your bones !
