1 tonne gear is fine and has been tested by people both on the track and on the road. in some instances it's lasted better for people than their 'expensive' gear.....

[Ender EnZed]

The general consensus these days seems to be that it's pretty good for the price. They've been in business too long to be selling crap.

I have 1 tonne jacket & pants..
Have no complants with it..
Jackets got a bulky feel with all the pads in..

[Spoonrider]

Sweet, thanks for the advice guys :-)

I have a pair of 1 Tonne winter sport riding pants. Very happy with the quality and finish. And they are also great to deal with as a retiler.

Is retiling when they just throw the new ones over the top of the old? :)

I have 1 tonne pants, have crashed in them twice, on the road at 70km, on the track at over 200km. they held up fantastically in both instances. I found them friendly and efficient and happily recommend them to others.

I brought pants and boots- great service, easy to deal with. No probs with the gear.

I've used lots of their jackets and pants. Always been great, and I would definately buy from them again.

[Spazman727]

I've got a pair of their pants and a jacket. I like them, the are fairly comfy and a reasonable amount of waterproof-ness. Like was said before the jacket does feel a bit bulky.
I would buy from them again,but I would prefer to be able to try them on first. I think they do allow you to but it was a bit far away for me.
Great people to deal with.

[ducatilover]

I've had:
1tonne pants
1tonne "race" boots
1tonne sports boots
two sets of gloves from 1tonne.

Their quality has gone up in leaps and bounds over the years, my "race" boots and first set of gloves were pretty rubbish, but that was in 2008 or so.
My pants were excellent, fit well and very warm/breathable for leathers.
The sport style boots are fantastic, warm and comfy, I wear them most days.
The second set of gloves seemed well made for light weight gloves, but I wouldn't buy their gloves again.

So, in my opinion:
Their leather gear is great value.
The boots are great value
The gloves are junk (the light weight ones)

Don't cheap out on gloves, I broke my hand last year and that was with Teknic Lightning gloves, best ones I have owned by miles. I'd hate to see what my hand would be like in the 1tonne gloves.
As far as I can see it's built to the same, or better quality than any other gear of that price and they are brilliant to deal with.
My Quasi gear is awesome, so bring the debates on.

[george formby]

My G/F got some boots off them, at the budget end of the range, some fabric on the front came away from the stitching, purely cosmetic & without hesitation 1 tonne sent a new pair. Great service for us & the boots despite the small problem are great value.

yes well now that qmoto is longer run by a brainless incompetant cunt we can hope the quality will improve from a single line of stitching in places. maybe the company will also have customer service of a level that inspires confidence and repeat custom.

I never had any issues with Brett and my gear is well made and crash tested by myself.
But, I've heard a lot of stories about him, and to be honest, I don't give a flying fuck. He treated me well and sold me nice gear, winning.

I'd have to echo that - all my dealings with Brett were just fine and the gear has stood the test of time and a few "outings" as well.

[GrayWolf]

People like 1tonne, Qmoto etc may have an advantage of low overheads by not being in a 'premises' per se, and that IS all to the good in some respects for consumers. However when you are looking at gear, it isnt just NZ that gets supplied by various manufacturers.. technix, Ixon, Spidi etc.. There IS a reason you pay $600+ for a superior touring jacket. I own a couple, as well as mid priced ones... if you are an everyday rider over any distance? (say 30-45 mins as a minimum) any weakness for rain letting WILL get found out.
There are so many different 'user group' forums on the web, but for durability and real world testing of 'proofing' for gear? the guys who do adventure riding/green laneing are the forums to read up, a lot of 'reasonable/good gear (supposed) gets a shellacking in these forums.... There's a reason BMW gear IS so damned pricey.....

So to my mind, regardless of 'how good' stuff may be... its the actual had knocks/hard use that really shows value for money.

[Biggles08]

yes well now that qmoto is longer run by a brainless incompetant cunt Your opinion and you are entitled to it.

we can hope the quality will improve from a single line of stitching in places.
I call Bullshit on this and the quality has ALWAYS been great!

maybe the company will also have customer service of a level that inspires confidence and repeat custom. Over the years Brett was involved in running Qmoto they have had massive amounts of repeat business and excellent customer service...maybe not from or to you...but once again thats your story and as they say there is always two sides to those.

This thread is asking about 1Tonne leathers not Qmoto leathers and you seem to fail to realize by continually ranting about your grinding axe you are in fact advertising Qmoto and not 1Tonne. I have no axe at all to grind re the 1Tonne gear (as I have never dealt with them or worn any of their products) and I do believe they would rather you STFU about Qmoto in these types of threads.

Now back to peoples opinion of 1Tonne gear.

[PeloNZ]

I'm a noob, but I am happy with my new 1tonne gear. Comfortable and great value. No issues with quality so far. They sent me a larger pair of gloves very quickly. I got a full set of top-priced textile touring gear. Hopefully I don't need to find out how it holds up in an accident...

Dont worry this guy (tigetug) was never a customer of Qmoto, he did buy some gear second hand from someone else and jumped on a thread last year about how shit the gear was, apparently the Velcro failed (as it does sometimes) I offered immediately to fix it despite being smashed up by this plonker on here, you can see evidence of this on his very own profile page.
The guy is unusual and loves hating.
Qmoto is vastly superior to 1 tonne and will always be, the Knox armour alone sees that as true !!.
Different ends of the market, good luck to 1 tonne, they werent a competitor :niceone:

Most gear providers/suppliers will have a problem to deal with occassionally.

This is always a biggy for me too. I often buy where i know i get good service and backup.
Got my rev it from Motomail and the first set started leaking and they replaced it at 12 months old, no questions asked and the new set has been awesome. Brought all my leathers of them and had no problems, all rev it stuff too.
No doubt other brands are just as good but i'm happy with my lot.:cool:

Thats not a product issue mate, you got dupped by a KB'r :baby:! Revit gear is pretty bloody good from my experience and I have some gloves from them very much like those ones (different coloring..just black) and have had them for years. I'd say some sort of chemical has been spilt on them at some point and has fu#ked the material...which has just fallen apart as you have used them. You can never make an accurate judgment on the quality of a product unless you have purchased them from the supplier brand new and know for yourself the complete history of the item.

I bought some leather pants (baillistic) from them recently. First time I put them on the crotch split.
After emailing them asking if I could get them repaired locally, I got a prompt response, stating that was fine, and they simply asked for the receipt and my bank account number. Not happy about the minor bit of dodgey stitching, but glad how they handled it. The Alterations place said the rest of the pants were up to scratch, and was only the one small spot that had a problem.

I bought a jacket from them 12 months ago. The build quality of it seems great to me.
Hope this helps.

Excuse me?.....I sold the gloves to spokes and I can assure you, your assesment is very wrong.
I bought them off someone whom I know, who had worn them maybe a dozen times? I never wore them and sold them for $40..from memory, in good condition.

Not pointing any fingers but if that is the way they are after less than 20 uses I would be getting them back to the Revit dealer, regardless of whether they were new or not. It looks like acid damage. Would be a bit rash to pass judgement on the entire range based on the experience of one set of second hand gloves.

Not calling your integrity into question at all, it's just that the only time I have ever seen damage like that was on a pair of jeans that had been exposed to battery acid, completely saturated with water to wash it out but when they dried out the remaining acid concentrated and destroyed the fabric

I will play your game. If covered in acid, why has none of the other material shown damage?

[steve_t]

So spokes, how did the damage happen? It seems a weird spot to have abrasion and thus it looks to be a pretty non-abrasion resistant area. It's the wrist area near the thumb right? Is it possible that the seams split because the gloves are too small for your hands?

Heres a challange for ya champ. I will courier them to you and you tell me what I did to them to cause the damage.

Bulshit Revit is crap...you're gloves clearly are however...I can see in the picture...but Revit is not crap. I'm not sure why I need to see them as I'm no expert in chemical damage or a forensic scientist to dechipher what has happened to your second (or third) hand gloves...all I can suggest is the material has been weaked in some way.... have you ever seen any other Revit gloves do this?? Not me...and I own some very similar to yours.

[nzspokes]

My chicken strips are so wide they stop the bike falling over. I dont pretend to be a great rider.

Touché, but im not claiming warranty nor care that much about it as they have long since been replaced.

But great call. :killingme

I dont pretend to be a great rider.that could be it then, a square shaped tyre will cause oscillations from the rear, your gloves abrasion stemming from the vibrations on the grips as you are dampening the immenent tankslapper. problem solved.

[sil3nt]

To keep the thread on topic:

I have used 1 tonne textile gear for the past 3 years. It gets treated like shit...thrown and kicked around the floor. Still holding up! Actually one of the gloves has ripped where the cord is for tightening them so it takes some effort to tighten that one up.

I broke the zip on the pants by wearing them over my work pants..or by getting fat. Still consider it holding up as it has been 3 years :yes:

No problems with my Qmoto leathers except some velcro coming away on gloves that were several years old when I purchased them.

So all around good experiences of the NZ suppliers.

[ducatilover]

LOL...if you think that photo Maha put up in the thread where he actually sold them is "As New" then you're the dumbass...you can clearly see in the picture they are very second hand will good use.

Plausable...unlikely but plausable.

***Begining of original point...now*** YOU CANNOT MAKE A JUDGEMENT CALL ON BRANDS OF PRODUCT BASED ON SECOND (OR THIRD) HAND PURCHASES ***end of point***

Go buy a brand new set of gloves....go for 4 rides...then if this happens send them back for warantee. Not that hard really. Or...of course you could come on here spouting shit ablout how shit Revit gear is.

[ducatilover]

I agree to an extent in regards to second/thrid hand stuff.
But yes, it's possible they were a shit batch, might as well leave it at that.

I still think 1tonne is good value gear.
No idea about Revit, as with all brands you get mixed reviews and I won't bother commenting on Revit 'till I've owned some, which won't be happening soon as my current gear is excellent.

Where does it say 'As New'..

original post
Heres another pair of Revit Gloves...same price $40.
Fleece lined and super warm.
Good visor wipe material can be seen on the right glove.

Can you now stop making stuff up.

Just because I think Brett is cute and I'd turn gay for him doesn't mean I'm his fluffer boy. Fact is (I know...this is KB and facts are very secondary) he was sales rep/terittory manager for a large motorcycle distribution company and has been involved in the motorcycling industry for a very long time. Brett sponsored me when he was owner of Qmoto and helped me out a lot, not just with gear but flying around the country north and south islands to help spanner for me at the Nationals....so I say it again, I know Brett well as a mate, my name is in my signature...who the fuck are you?

Your Choice, sounds to me tho like you are just being obstinate.
Revit makes all sorts of products and like most brands they get various products made for them (toll manufacturing) by companies all over the world
Like all brands they do their best to ensure the required specs are up to scratch, but also like all brands sometimes there are issues, and it doesnt matter what brand it is........Astar, Dianese, or other types of products Cars, Puters your local curry shop ,its a fact of life.
If you go to another brand you will again be at risk of buying something faulty, or not up to scratch.

[Scuba_Steve]

have you ever seen any other Revit gloves do this?? Not me...and I own some very similar to yours.

I have, like I've said mine have done the same & in less than 2000km of riding so they have found 2nd life as winter paintball gloves, my RJays however are still holding.


Plausable...unlikely but plausable.

***Begining of original point...now*** YOU CANNOT MAKE A JUDGEMENT CALL ON BRANDS OF PRODUCT BASED ON SECOND (OR THIRD) HAND PURCHASES ***end of point***

Mine were brand new, and saw the same result (tho I stopped using them for riding before they got as bad as his)

So from personal experience so far I'd recommend Spidi & RJay gloves but warn to steer clear of Revit, & due to my glove experience I too have steered clear from any other Revit product.
Maybee it was a once off & I should give them another chance? but I'm not sure I want to take the financial & personal risk when I know others are good.

As for 1tonne I can't comment yet, but I'm considering some new boots. Thus interest in this thread.

[Grantman_]

For the price 1tonne served me well. The leather 'terminator' pants had good knee armour with hard outer shell (hip padding was token however and useless). Stitching and the leather itself seemed good throughout except for the stitching that held the soft-velcro waste fastener. That was unravelling everyday after about 7 months.

The 1 tonne racing boots were comfortable and accepted sidi toe sliders etc. However when broken in they were far more pliable than the outer plastic bracing should have allowed. As far as armour they were great, but as far as protection from ankle overextension or twisting the appearance is better than result imo. Still, it has to be significantly better than without.

The $60 'track dayer' leather gloves had the velcro fail in about a month. However, they were vastly better than the utterly useless Dririder hard knuckled gloves I had previously which had the palm rip open on my first low speed off at about 30kph. The 1tonne gloves had good armour in the knuckles which have been scraped up a bit. The palms held up after a shortish? slide of unkown length and speed, but did wear down to the second leather layer in one spot on one glove. As such I'd want something tougher in the palm really. Get RS Taichi Evo, Held Phantom/Titan, Knox Handroid, Heroic SP-R, Dainese Full Metal, A* GP Pro (stitching issues?) etc if you really want top end protection.

FFS this has gone on too long. Mods where are you & why aren't you doing your job? I can't take this crap anymore so some one has to say it.
We on KB are bikers, brothers in arms & outlaws patrolling the badlands. It pains me when this keeps getting repeated every fricking thread where Quasi & tigertim are arguing. By now we should have learned however it seems I will have to rise out of the trenches & face the fire to stop this ridiculous charade & put it straight.


Please everybody when you want to describe something as being "as well " the correct usuage & spelling is too not to.
ie. Quasi is ghey too or tigertim is queer too. (I don't take sides)
