Does it fit?

If it does then the deal sounds reasonable. If it doesn't then they're trying to rip you off!

I got a brand new Spyke jacket a couple of winters ago for $320-00 new. They did say that it would be a deal never repeated and they have been true to their word. Spool is a pretty good brand, whats a new one worth in the shops? Oh and make sure its a good fit. I'm loosing weight now and are having to muck around with the adjustable thingees on my jacket. :woohoo:

They have had cheap Spool stuff in at Sportzone Suzuki off and on for over the past 2-3 months. Nothing even remotely in my size thou (S-M) so I expect it was just stuff they were trying to clear out. Could be worth looking thou. (jackets around the $150-200 mark.)

Tassles or no tassles??

If no then don't pay too much for them.

However seeing as how you got them off the 'ex' I uppose you can't whinge too much.

Well, my RJays cordura jacket was secondhand for $150, excellent condition. Picked up brand new Tecknics cordura pants (but one season back) courtesy of Lou for $130 :woohoo:

So you could bargain him down a bit perhaps...

The ex you say. You must have something on him you can use against him to get the price down...
