Raida Trailcraft base layer price in India and review

Off-road riding in India is physically demanding and conventional riding jackets often trap heat, feel bulky, and cause early fatigue on the trails. A new lightweight protective layer aims to solve this problem for trail riders looking for better airflow.

Raida Trailcraft price and sizing details

The Raida Trailcraft is priced at Rs 5,699 and can be purchased directly from the official raidagears.com website. It is offered in six different sizes ranging from S to 3XL to fit a wide variety of riders. Published reviews note that a size S fits true to expectations and pairs well with a size M MX jersey.

What protection comes with the base layer

• CE Level 2 armour at the elbows, shoulders, and back
• CE Level 1 chest protectors for impact absorption
• Stretchable fabric that makes removing armour for washing easy
• Integrated thumb loops to keep sleeves securely positioned

Versatility and comfort on hot days

Published testing highlights that the material allows for significant airflow and provides a greater range of movement when standing on pegs or shifting body weight. It can be worn underneath an MX jersey or beneath a conventional riding jacket after removing the jacket original armour. While it keeps riders cool on hot days, reviews mention that it can still feel warm when stationary in traffic or during breaks.

Limitations for street riding

While it is recommended for beginner and intermediate off-road riders, the base layer lacks sufficient abrasion resistance for road use if worn without a proper riding jacket.

Has anyone here tried riding off-road with armoured base layers instead of heavy jackets?
