Info on Lifestyle Imports

[Jorja]

I met the people from lifestyle imports at big boys toys and liked the look of their gear and prices.
For the um er slightly bigger (short) girl their sizes looked really good.
The prices for boots are excellant and thought i might get some new pants while i am at it.

As anyone brought gear from these guys and do you recomend them?

[nadroj]

Quassi a mod is he?

[Jorja]

I have no idea. Why?
have gear from quasi but his pants he doesn't have in my size. Need one size bigger. Just wondering about these guys as they have larger sizes and 2 different lengths for short people like me.

Ask Mcduck about his boots. I think Lifestyle Imports products are great value for money.

I got an old set, but I traded up to Quasi gear .. Mrs TA wears lifestyle imports pants and likes them

[bikerboy011]

I bought 2 jackets one leather and the other waterproof, water proof pants and leather gloves... they are pretty good, i also got leather pants and boots but i returened them as i felt kind off stiff on the bike.

I bought one piece leathers from Rick in March, they fit perfectly and are well made. Do check out Quasi as well, if anything the styling is a bit more sophisticated than the Lifestyle Imports gear :)

KTL?
new to riding so don't know alot of places to go

[Kwaka14]

Seen his stuff in at Motohaus (he also brings in bikes) in Kingsland. Liked it enough to order some for myself.

kool might check them out too. If I ever get a day off work that is :no:

Have bought boots from lifestyle,very comfortable and cost $150,have had no problems with them,waterproof etc.Bought them feb 2006,saw the ones Quasi has and they are good too,just a shame I didn't know of Quasi site at time,need to try before buying,was lucky these fitted fine,as didn't try on first.

Good that you have some gear now, I would like to say one thing and that is the difference in Quality between QUASiMOTO and Ricks gear is so different you cannot use both types in the same sentence for example
a/ Leather type and grade, we use A grade Cowhide (not Buffalo)
b/ Stitching type and quantity we use up to 4 stitches (not one or two)
c/ Features Styles and designs we use TPU, Titanium External armor
d/ Grade of Armor we use KNOX branded armor and geniune CE
e/ Durability Proofs in the pudding, no suits blown apart yet
f/ and it wont blow apart in a crash ie 175 MPH and suit is okay (thats one example


all above cost us a huge amount of money in development of the QUASiMOTO brand, without this investment you cannot bring quality product to the market.

Compare the new 2008 QUASiMOTO gear to, Spidi, Alpinestar etc.....................and even them I would prefer to wear mine in a crash.

Anyone on this thread as a special to you

Love ya gear Quasi but you don't do anything in my size. Except my leather jacket which came from you. That is the best.

But that was a fluke as none of the other jackets you had fitted me.

[Pancakes]

I bought the Cordura suit he sells and it was cheap, not great value. Things that shouldn't come off did and it leaked early on in the peice. So much so I wore an old set of Gore-Tex wet weathers outside of it most days. Got rev-it stuff from Motomail now and it was a third more $$ and 10 times as good.

Between Quasi with everyone who has used him raving about the gear and Motomail who are really helpful and great range I don't see why you'd gamble with other dealers. There is other good gera out there, but does there service match? Fit counts.

[Motig]

Lifestyle Leather Jacket, Quasi Pants, happy with both.

If ya looking for cheap new gear Rick is great to deal with.

The quality of his stuff does surpass the pricetags.

Ive had a pair of touring boots off him - they took a hammering before I threw them out.

My famous Repsol leathers cost me $600, I used to wear them day in day out, theyve been down the road etc.. and have fallen apart less than my brand new neo leathers.

And the gloves, they are SUPERB. $60, they simply surpass any other glove ive had, and have outlasted their competitors worn by mates who do less than half the mileage I do.

Give him a call, rock on down at his place at pukekawa, and have a good nosy in his container full of gears.

10/10 :D

Had Lifestyle pants and jacket and was happy with them (only sold them when I lost weight and they became too loose). Rick was excellent to deal with and at the time the only person able to cater for my short legs with an off the shelf pair of pants. As always, yer gets what yer pays for and if you are on a budget he is worth a visit.

I wouldn't buy quasi's gear just because of his attitude on KB in the past. Just my 0.02c.

I don't see what that has to do with purchasing his geat quality gear, but any way it's your choice.

[Mole_C]

I got jacket and pants from them. They leak in certain parts in rain and some stitching isn't the best but have survived 2 crashes at about 60ks and still going strong so not bad.

Pants were bloody stiff to start with (couldnt even get on bike) but after wearing them around the house for a while they got better and are pretty soft now :)

[Taz]

That's why I said "just my 0.02c" Whether his gear is quality or crap doesn't matter his public comments and demeanor have put me off dealing with him.

For what its worth I have a 2 piece leather suit from lifestyle imports. I've had it for 3 years and the price was very good. The zips are shit nearly all have broken but I just sewed new ones in. The back shoulder and knee armour are good but the elbow stuff doesn't feel right for me so I removed it. I have had 2 bins in it. One at Taupo at reasonable speed quite a slide no injurys and the suit was hardly dammaged except scuffed some of the thread off. One 50kmh on the road started to rip one of the double layer panels off on the arm but I landed right on that arm. I've also got a pair of his boots which he sold me for $100 because they already had a broken zip. Sewed another in and they seem ok though cheaply constructed.

Bottom line is you get what you pay for and lifestyle imports are very cheap. Be much better off in a full leather suit from them then buying a fancy jacket and no pants
