QUOTE(alexei @ Sep 21 2022, 08:57 AM) QUOTE(jaycee1 @ Sep 21 2022, 09:06 AM) Yes get the Givi rain set. They are good but can be pricy for a set. Dont bother with the cheaper ones. My cheap "Arai" ones lasted all of 2 rides before leaking. FWIW get a bright flouro coloured one. Shoe covers you can get from shopee for about RM10 a pair on sale. For topbox, if you prefer a shop you can give Serdang motorcycle a visit. They have a good selection at reasonable price. But if you are handy, you can also buy from shopee and DIY. QUOTE(paskal @ Sep 21 2022, 10:49 AM) Topbox those givi plastic ones are good. Aluminum ones are heavy and require better rack to support the weight. thanks for all the suggestion.Raincoat if you don't wanna spend givi price then can take a look at maxfly maxxis and foxdry. Maxfly have teflon coating. Both are quite popular with food riders. Serdang motorcycle sell foxdry maybe can ask them how good it is. Skip those cheap givi in shopee since a lot of imitation. People suggest to get givi at givi outlet to avoid fake stuff. I'm personally using decathlon raincoat for bicycle. i will head to givi official shop on the weekends then, din know there's fake givi stuff. almost ordered it from shopee already. |

QUOTE(alexei @ Sep 21 2022, 12:57 PM) raincoat - pay attention to neck roll water sealing and cuffs, and between legs when u sit, that's where water will pool and either gets blown off, or gets into the pants. erm...kapcai only also need wear gloves? i think its not necessary add good gloves, and depending on how you ride, wear the gloves over the cuffs, or the cuffs over the gloves to water proof boots are most likely pants over boots, so out-boots (boots over pants) will be more challenging though not impossible |

QUOTE(alexei @ Sep 21 2022, 03:47 PM) I really hope you do, but I cannot change your mind. which of these is more comfortable?It takes determination to wear and take off every single day, each time getting on and off the bike. Many ppl give up eventually, or stop replacing when their gloves break apart due to use without ever getting in a crash. Cheap gloves do not last long, or protect enough during a crash. Anyone who's broken a bone in their palm, or hand, or wrist... even after recovery, they usually don't feel the same anymore. Food riders community encourage their members to glove up. It's up to you. I spend more on gloves than average ppl on their helmet - gauntlet, kangaroo leather, aramid/kevlar lined. These are the gloves I have, and 2 of them for kapcai daily wear. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « too many on shopee i dunno how to differentiate it i wanted to get a jacket with some protection too but they all seems kinda too hot for malaysia use This post has been edited by chinti: Sep 22 2022, 11:09 AM |

QUOTE(megahertz @ Sep 26 2022, 08:42 AM) can easily replace the padding with good quality. some came with foam type but more harder because its design to absorb the impact. is this one okay? i see the reviews, some commented the padding quite goodi use benkia right now for daily ride. for me, some model jacket is good quality and some are not. https://shopee.com.my/BENKIA-JS150-Riding-J...29-41ba8580ed4e |

QUOTE(alexei @ Sep 26 2022, 10:00 AM) the armors are removeable - reverse the jacket sleeves (normally by pulling the wrist cuffs inwards) and check for it, they should indicate CE level thanks for the info.protection paddings are important, and unfortunately good ones are not cheap. the benkia one I say, comes with the black soft plastic type elbow (maybe shoulder too) - I had not so good experience with this type, after few years the foam will disintegrate and become powder. The back and chest armor are no-grade padding. my Taichi jacket comes with Powertector Hexa CE-1 (elbow shoulder) and no-grade back padding sharing my frens experience with riding jacket: - fake Alpinestars - got style but fits loose, material also light, and flaps when riding - original Komine - also got style, pricetag not cheap, zipper cuff, heavier material, fits better, adds confidence when riding ![]() ![]() yes i just checked the DC biker shop, the ori alpinestars protection paddings cost around 500+ for elbow, shoulder, and back. most probably will go visit the shop this weekends and just get the ori paddings to replace the one inside my fake jacket really did not expect taycon to sell fake stuff considering their huge reputation here in penang |

QUOTE(jaycee1 @ Sep 26 2022, 10:33 AM) How much did you pay for that? 180? yep i paid 180 for that.Didn't check in a few days but could have advised otherwise. You could find this for less than 100 from shopee on sales. Very cheap foam armour... i paid 95 just because it was cheap...and as a spare jacket when my main daily is in the wash or wet. It doesnt ventilate very well, but I have already replaced all the amour on mine with proper ones. Well, its better than bare skin. can you share the armor tht u got for it? QUOTE(skyblu3 @ Sep 26 2022, 10:35 AM) Bring your jacket along and test. yep will definitely do thatScared that the amour compartment of your jacket couldn't fit in certain amour ( size and shape) QUOTE(alexei @ Sep 26 2022, 10:36 AM) but you ride kapcai, right? can consider shopee paddings also. yep kapcai onlycan consider FC-moto also example: https://www.fc-moto.de/en/Motorcycle/Motorc...lder-Protectors i think better i find on local shop, easier to ask for sizing fitting, after sales service, etc |

QUOTE(paskal @ Sep 26 2022, 01:54 PM) Please don't buy through shopee. hmm alright, i think for now i will get better paddings to replace first.Jacket, gloves, boots, helmet you need to try it out. Pay a bit more for brick and mortar shop and try it see how it fits. That komine full mesh jacket I tried at hodaka motoworld. Try haggling price over there, you might walk away with 10-20% discount. El Chong Sungai Jawi, Penang have quite a selection of apparels that is usually cheaper than even shopee. Try and visit them, but note that they're doing some major reno and it's quite dusty. got time only head over there to get another jacket |

QUOTE(alexei @ Sep 26 2022, 02:10 PM) I think I mistaken post... RM500 is for branded. If non-branded, or clone, I don't mind, as long as can find good quality... so I listed some that I can think of. for something I use a lot, like daily, I budget a bit more. does these paddings seems ok?https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=a230r...ns=1&abbucket=7 im thinking of getting these first to replace the one inside my jacket |
