I'm also looking for full gauntlet riding gloves for around ₹6,000. Any recommendations?

I am using Solace Riding Pants. It was close to 8K (+/- 500) and came with rain as well as thermal liners. Have used it on the plains as well as a 31 day Kol-Ladalh-Kol ride last year. Very comfortable and happy.
Last week did a ride with my friends to Bhuvangiri fort which included climbing up by foot and rappelling down 300 feet. No meaning in changing to jeans and back, so used these all the way (Home to Home). Again, did not feel any discomfort at any time.

You may want to consider that one.

Cheers!

My Gadsyll 7 city boots got drenched today in Mumbai rains but the inside was super dry and comfy. So still comfy after 1st rain bout

I was looking to pick up the RE x Alpinestars Gravity Drymaster Jacket maybe sometime in October. The idea is to keep my explorer as well, and use the Gravity for rides in rainy, cold or even moderately pleasant weather. I'd appreciate some user reviews on the same, especially on the ventilation front. Cheers!

Neil had posted his opinion on this very thread. In fact, I did try this last week along with the LS2 metropolis. I don't think this would be a jacket for hot conditions. There was hardly any ventilation in the drymaster as well as the LS2 Metropolis. These two will be better suited for cold conditions. I found the LS2 Gallant better in this aspect. Other factor that is against the Gravity is, it doesn't seem to have any provision for back protection. Otherwise, felt like well constructed jacket.

Hey everyone,

I'm gearing up for a ride to Leh with some friends and wanted to get your input on a few things:

1. Base Layers (Budget: ₹2,000 per piece (Top and bottom)):

Looking for recommendations on high-performance base layers (top and bottom) to wear under my riding gear. Any suggestions for good options within a ₹2,000 budget for each piece?

2. Rain Liners (Budget: ₹2,000 per piece (Top and bottom)):

Considering Rynox rain liners (top and bottom) but open to other suggestions. My budget is around ₹2,000 for each piece.

3. Portable Tire Inflator (Budget: Under ₹4,000):

Since we'll be riding to Leh, a reliable and portable tire inflator is a must-have. Any recommendations for inflators under ₹4,000?

Also, any tips and tricks for this upcoming ride that will be useful for us?

Thanks in advance for your advice!

I use a base layer pant from Rynox. On the top, I prefer wearing a Jockey Thermal vest and a regular t-shirt.

2. Rain Liners (Budget: ₹2,000 per piece (Top and bottom)):

I have a rain coat already present inside my RE Riding Jacket.

For lowers, I have a cheap decathlon rain paint.

3. Portable Tire Inflator (Budget: Under ₹4,000):

I have this and its very good.
I paid 4k for it during some sale.


Riding in the mountains is a lot of fun. Stay well hydrated. Do not try to race. Spend as much time as possible relaxing and soaking in the beauty of the place.

Do not climb more than 1.5k feet in a day.

If you spent a night at an altitude of x feet, the next night do not go any higher than x+1500 feet.

This will help keep altitude sickness in check.

Enjoy.
