QuasiMoto Leathers

[HDTboy]

As some of you know, I had the chance to crash test some of Quasis leather pants with a 90kph impact.
Aside from a very mild abrasion from the inner mesh, I'm entirely pleased with the level of protection I got from these pants. Had I been wearing jeans like I used to, I would've come out a lot worse.

Thanks Quasi :niceone:

I got some Quasi gears the other day. Lovin' them really...

The pants especially are soooo comfortable. The new ones are silk lined, not sure if this was the case previously? Anyway, makes it easy to put on, feels just luverly darling, and should help to prevent the above happening in a crash. Overall feel damn solid, better I think than the Spool ones I was wearing before.

The gloves are frickin awesome ('cept the leave black marks on my fingers, should go away over time I guess...been 3 years since I bought my first set of gloves).

Jacket is all good. Needs some time to soften up. It's heavier than the Alpinestars I was using, so the leather should be about the same or thicker then. The Alpinestars has virtually no exposed stitching though, which would probably make it able to take consecutive crashes (ala motobob) a bit better (twice the price of the Quasi gears though). I'm more than confident my jacket will save me from the scrapes though...but that's not gonna happen again anyway :)

[Quasievil]

Cheers mate, to date we have had 8 crashes, speeds ranging from 50kph to 160kmph, all the leathers are still in use without any major issues, I know of a couple of people on here that have had so called better brands that have blown apart.
I getthese made to a specific spec that I chose so they will perform.

below is some piccies of thenew styles

I'm still eyeing up the orange jacket with pants, as I bet landing on those would be way more comfy than my pLeather (plastic leather) jacket and track pants... which did... not much... (although it coulda been worse)

[hodgeman]

Got my QUASiMOTO Leathers, they are the shizzle.
The quality is awesome, and it's not reflected in the price.
Look forward to softening them up, feel heaps safer than the jeans I've been wearing up until now.
Thanks Quasi for the awesome leathers, hope you do really well.
And what an awesome website you have!

hey man was talking to you last night on the chat - was interested in a back protector, but after reading these posts I've realised I could def do with some pants first - as I ride in jeans - and an 'off' in these would fck my legs

how much for padded leather pants? also, are they water proof?

Hi,Waterproof and leather do not go hand in hand sorry, you will need a oversuit of some kind. They will offer excellent protection however, pleanty of armour in the right places. Cost is $280 + $10 for courier.
let me know if I can help you, cheers

Hey is there some kind of stuff that you can get to treat leather so that it doesn't get knackered in the rain? Or does it not get knackered anyway and 3M or someone just tells us it does so that they can sell us a solution to it?

I'm not worried about getting wet...but is heavy, constant rain no good for leather?

[Colapop]

Use to use Dubbin for protecting our boots when I was in the army. I don't know how well it would go on bike leathers though. I would think it would be better for general upkeep of your leathers than fopr water protection on a large scale.

well not really, takes ages to dry out leather

[ajturbo]

i would ask BabyB all about leathers... she knows

EVERYTHING... about the up keep of them...

Depends on thetreatment, I could walk in rivers all day in my old army boots and not get wet feet, years of nugget helped that.

My leather jacket I wear to uni keeps the water out just fine! Mainly the seams of leathers that leak, and using sno seal and the like can help heaps

Is heavy, constant rain no good for a dead human? Not sure if you treat the human first though...

Where can you buy this Sno Seal stuff from?

Right, you supply me with a human hide, and I'll see about getting it tanned. I don't think it'll protect you as well in a crash though

[kickingzebra]

In my experience, rain doesn't "hurt"the leather, but when you dry it out in hot water cupboard etc, it dries the leather out, which in turn means it doesn't protect as well in an off, if the leather is well looked after, IE dubbin, sno seal, leather conditioner, it shouldn't really be a problem, but it's easy to miss looking after the leather, cause it isn't the most fun thing to do.

[babyB]

:wavey: aw guys im still round to help

leather is a natural material made fron the hide of animals. if you want to protect & prolong the life of your leathers - you must clean and condition them; rain will really dry out leather because the rain evaporates from your leathers.  it pulls moisture away from the skin. i recomend conditioning your leathers once it dries, when ever caught in the rain.

leather requires frequent conditioning to replace the natural lubricants lost during normal use, just as your own skin dries out when exposed to the elements, so will your leather.  a good conditioner will help stop rain, spills, or anything wet from getting into your leather and staining it.

Never use waxes, silicon products, or aerosol sprays, they will impair the leather's ability to "breath".  products will clog the pores of leather, that is why they make leather accessories waterproof.  it will also eventually dry out your leathers because the pores are cloged. (may have an advantage for boots though)

Wet Leathers

ok so you get caught in the rain and your leathers are soaked

1. if possible use a dry towel & soak up as much as you can - dont rub - just blot. if towel not handy shake as much wetness from the leather

2. let leathers dry naturally avoiding direct heat or sunlight

3. when leather nearly dry, apply a little conditioner to restore flexibility. followed by full conditioning treatmedt when leather is totaly dry.



get some good wet weather gear. waxed cotton is premo

QUASiMOTO branded leather now comes with leather care instructions, so there aint really any excuses.
now back to my new order

[skelstar]

Thats a primo looking site guys, good work.

[Kendog]

Bought a ladies jacket from Quasi a week or so ago. Beautiful quality and the leather is really soft. Very generous sizing,(good news for the more voluptuous of us) so plenty of room to pop a jumper (or two) under in the winter,:sweatdrop and very fast postage too. Thanks Quasi, looking at your pants now, do they have plenty of room for lady type hips and thighs?:blip:

[Pathos]

I got some trousers a while back, and used them going from hamilton to Wellington and back.

the thighs were a bit tight at first but they stretch out beautifully. They breath very well, never got sweaty in them although it was a bit chilly in taupo and near the mountains.

They are incredible comfortable especially the silk liner you can ride as long as you want in them and they feel the same as when you started.

cheers quasi
