hi..imho there is no substitute for leather when it comes to jackets, Quasi does really nice ones in Hamilton and just south of Auck at pukekawa is lifestyle imports who do good gear at good prices. You may find you get what you pay for and if you hit the road at any stage you'll be wishing you paid more........

as for helmets, don't buy on price, just make sure you get one that fits really well.....very important both for safety and comfort.
