yes correct.

Guys, are these fabric style gloves better than the mesh+hard plastic combo in term of comfort?

Will it be a lot warmer in our weather?



These are Decathlon ST100 mountain bike gloves.

My current pair of gloves although quite breathable, hurts my ring fingers after a while because it's quite rigid. Looking for another pair now that 11/11 sales is approaching

Lol no.

First things first, you need hard palm sliders.

Gloves take time to break in.

look for pre-curved gloves
my personal opinion, test in shop, and get the pair that fits best

my experience, same brand model size... pair A I took left, pair B I took right...

With the hot weather, any nice good helmet or jacket to recommend ??
helmet maybe budget ard 500++

open face helmet, givi m35
jacket find any with mesh

open face cannot lah, 1st i'm wearing glasses and i prefer with visor which help during raining time

u didnt google to see wat the givi m35 is before commenting eh? hehehehehehh

its a Jet helmet. just these kinda 3/4 face helmets ppl tend to call it open face.

comes with a visor... and a sun visor as well.

rain isnt much of an issue.


KYT TTR-Jet is also a nice option.

Huh Sorry..u said open face so i assume no visor...sorry for my ignorance.
i googled KYT, look nice but comfort ??

im looking into the KYT as well... just dont like the malaysian version being double D ring. going to bali in dec n will check out the indo version which uses micrometric strap n try to smuggle in if it tickles my fancy.

as for comfort, reviews ive watched are saying its quite comfy n has a full face hugging feel to it.... whereas the givi m35.0 is said to be one of the quieter open face helmets n comfy as well.

but for ur budget, u could look into getting the MT Helmet Atom SV. its a modular helmet. cheap and does the job. there are many who has this helmet and are happy with it. i used to own one and sold it off as i didnt use for a few years as i wasnt too happy with my unit.

full face u can look into MT Helmet, Bilmola n cant remember some other budget brands.


for jackets, just make sure to get mesh..as mesh as possible.... RS Taichi, komine are jap brands n more on the budget side but still quality stuff. Benkia is the more known/ atas china brand. n of course u have ur euro brands like alpinestars, revit, dainese etc...depending on ur budget.

fyi, there are motorcycle gloves in this style as well like komine. i think rs taichi has them as well.

comfort wise, u really gotta go n try them out. i have 2 gauntlet leather gloves, 1 from Five and another from Alpinestars. the cheaper Five is so much more comfortable than the alpinestars.

as for shorty gloves, the most comfortable gloves ive ever used is from RS Taichi.

The button on my helmet broke, wondering if its still safe to use. i think the button is just to hold the belt in place without it flapping around.
after strapping it down with the rings without using the button. the belt feels tight when i gave it a hard tug and it didnt budge

it's the DD ring button? I think it's fine

It's fine. Just annoying if it flaps about.

Just go put a new button. That's all

Hi all,
On the lookout for some decent adventure touring pants with hip and knee protector. Need to cover the boots as well. Need not to be waterproof but a bonus if it is.

Been checking out Revit, KLIM, Alpinestar etc. but without much success as there are very little reviews especially for hot humid APAC countries.

Anyone has any suggestions?

Thanks,

I have touring pants from Komine and Revit. Tested the slide function on both and safe to report that they held up well. Just got a new pair of touring pants from Komine as well and this has the connector zipper to the jacket to make it sort of one piece. Komine pants comes with knee protector as a std but hip protector depends on the model of the pants. Some comes as a std but some only has foam padding

Felt the cut on the Revit are too low. When on the bike feels like I am showing butt crack to the world.

Can try RS Taichi as well.

perforated leather is best

Leather will be hot. But with the correct type of leather will provide very good slide protection.

Most of us will go with fabric and mesh. But mesh and fabric has the slide resistance of tissue paper, so it comes down to armour to provide the additional slide protection.

If possible get compatible pants with your jacket so you can zip them together to prevent your jacket from riding up your back in a slide.

Good protection wear will have additional reinforcements at sliding areas, stronger material and double or triple stitching so seams to break in the slide. Touring pants will be wider at the legs to enable you to wear them over your boots.
