Hi Guys... my leathers (well mainly by jacket, boots and gloves) are getting a bit tired with iffy zips and velcro etc.. and it's time to look for some new gear.

now i'm not looking to spend too much - but then I don't want majorly cheapo stuff that's gonna fall apart on me in 5 minutes (my current kit has lasted over 10 years)

First up - not looking for another seller war on KB - and I'm olnly looking for leather...

I have friends with lifestyle imports kit that seems reasonably good, and I've looked online at the likes of 1tonne and cnell - and also @ qmoto (but that's really @ the upper end of my price range) quite liked the look of quasi's black rock - but I'm a little rounder then Bret looks- so not sure of the fit :)

I ride every day in all weather - but not at mach1 and I prefer fairly simple black leather gear...

was thinking I wanted to spend about 300ish on a new jacket, 200ish on some boots and maybe a 100 on gloves - so I'm in the lower end spending - but keen to hear some experiences...

I've done the requisite KB searches already -but a lot of the posts are quite old now so looking for some new info :)

cheers

You could always get new zips and velcro

cant go wrong with Qmoto imo, worth the bit extra you might have to spend.
