Just bought a Quasimoto street leather jacket and had a thoroughly good experience. Bret was fantastic to deal with and his wife Paula was an absolute star. The Jacket arrived promptly and I was very impressed by the quality for the price I paid, it felt like I should have paid another couple of hundred dollars for it. Good armour in it and the style of the jacket was very nice. After trying it on I wasn't sure about the fit so I gave Paula a call, she couriered the next size to me so I could compare the two and send the one I didn't like back, very trusting and awesome service. It arrived the next day and I went for the larger size (need to get back to the gym) and the smaller is now packaged up ready for sending back tomorrow.

Thanks to Quasimoto for a great product and service, I would reccomend you to all.:Punk::Punk:

We have bought 2 jackets , some gloves and a pair of pants through the Quasi's and they have always been very helpfull. Have yet to give nay of the gear the ULTIMATE test, but so far we have no issues with quality either.

So it's just me then? I came and saw you twice, wanted one of your jackets - but didn't fit anything you had. You told me you wouldn't do one offs ?
So I bought one off the Triumph dealers on Te Rapa

I need some pants - same issue

The Jacket is made and is not far away, apologies.

Certainly is not normally the case, certain factors have made it so in this situation only.

thanks

My two cents worth.
Have nothinhg but praise for QMoto gear.Most likely I won't buy elsewhere again.
Bang for buck, best value in town.
OK, the Tron anyhow.

Just bought a set of Quasi's new Black Rock gear (Jacket and Pants)- couldn't be happier.

Great advice - very trusting (couriered the gear before the funds actually arrived in his bank) - and super quick service. Like the OP - I really feel I should have paid much more after comparing the price of what I bought with what I've seen in the shops.

I did quite a but of research, went to the shops, looked on TradeMe etc etc.

Thank's Bret - agree with Caseye - I can't see me going elsewhere in future.

Well I finally received my jacket today.:woohoo:

I am impressed with the quality and fit (Although being a custom made it should fit)
Unfortunately it took a fair while to get completed due to supplier issues that were outside of Qmotos control.:wait:

One thing I miss is a belt loop to attach to jeans (maybe I should have asked for one??) other than that I love it.

Would I use them again? Yip, but I would definitely lose some of the excess kilos I am carrying so I can fit into a standard size they supply.

The only downside that I had, is that I had to chase them for updates. They were quick to reply to my emails, but a friendly "We haven't forgotten about you" email would have been great.

Now to go back and inhale some more new leather smell.....:drool:

Get some sno seal to go on it. Good to stop it drying out and help to waterproof it a little.

I bought mine from Motomart in the hutt. Nice big tub for about $20 (will last a while on boots and the jacket).

Just posted my review of the Black Rock gear I bought here (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php/131385-Gear-Review-Q-Moto-Black-Rock)

Just got my full and a new bike, and with the intention of riding more and going to the track I decided to get some leather gear to replace my codura commuter gear.

I chose Qmoto for a number of reasons; the price, the support and reputation it has on KB, but mostly the obscenely high safety specs given the price.

I am a very fussy buyer, especially when it comes to shelling out $700+. Furthermore I'm pretty small so I sometimes have trouble finding gear/clothes which fit. Based on this I opted to go past Hamilton while on holiday over New Years to try it on rather than buy over the internet. PM'd quasievil, arranged a time no trouble.

Got there, had trouble finding the jacket I wanted in my size, but found another which fitted, and fitting pants too. Brett was very patient while I tried on what seemed like half the gear in his garage, and was happy to give advice re safety, fit, armor, track days etc. I left with a new jacket, pants, and a knox back protector insert for the jacket to replace the 'cheese sandwich' foam already in there.

Customer service was as good as the best bike shops I've been to. And he doesn't even have a shop, this was his house.

Went for a ride today (or more accurately, I rode all day today) on my new bike with my new gear. More than happy with both purchases - street triples are epic bikes and Quasi's gear was comfortable and felt so much safer than any of my codura gear. An inspection of the stitching, leather thickness, and armor confirms this. I intend to get a lot more wear out of this gear over the coming months and years, and I concur with most of the sentiments expressed in Phantasm's review above. Chalk me up as another happy customer!

Can I ask what size you are roughly? I have some qmoto pants which are great but I'm only 60kg's and even the smallest jacket I fear would be too small. Maybe I'll just have to save and get a custom made one but then it's starting to get a bit pricey for a student like me!

Milts
11th January 2011, 18:41
I'm about 60ish kg and what, 5'7? The black rock jacket I have says "S/40/50" as the sizing and fits well enough. I can wear a very thin jacket or a tshirt + jersey underneath it, but it fits well enough even with just a tshirt underneath.

Next summer I intend to get a race spec jacket and may opt for the custom fit but I am more than happy with the sizing of this jacket for me. I see you're in Wellington - if you like, PM me and you can try it on. I'd be up for a ride this thursday evening or saturday sometime....

Got my custom built QMOTO Jacket today, ticky toured off down to the Tron and around to Q;s place.
Had a good look and feel and a smell and then put her on, well that was it.
Fits like a finger in a nostril it does and so damn comfortable.
Got around the first bend after leaving the Q establishment and felt that the whole world had just started spinning perfectly again.
Love it, many thanks to both of you down there at QMOTO Land and the t shirt was the finishing touch, ya didn't have to and I'm grateful.
Anyone else out there looking for gear, don't waste time going anywhere else, ring QMOTO and get it on.

Mmm, saving my pennies for a visit to Quasi - apparently, I'm a strange shape, so will probably be custom stuff.

Quasi, can you do sliders on the Q-Rock stuff if it's custom?? Want to do more trackdays so would hopefully want to get the old knee down.

Be a good idea to treat the leather dude, get some beeswax or other treatment onto it asap ok, it will protect the leather especially if it gets into some rain.
glad you love it.
