Moshin Gear

**Metalor** · 4th June 2009, 23:01

My apologies if this is this has been asked before. Just wondering what this moshin gear on Trademe is like?

I'm wanting at least some WINTER cordura pants and a jacket... don't want leather for winter as I can't be bothered waterproofing it after every other downpour I'm in, I'm moving out of my house to somewhere that doesn't have a fire so wont be able to dry the leather out if it does get wet. So... cordura it is.

It's gotta be warm AND waterproof. So yea, how does the Moshin stuff stack up? Anyone tried any before?

Cheers fellas!

There's a few guys/girls on here that have used or own his cordura gear. I think most comments, from memory have been positive.
I have found him good to deal with, straight forward and honest. I have one of his leather jackets, and like it.
The cordura gear I have, I bought from 1Tonne, and it is really good stuff IMO.
Use the search button. There are a few posts around here somewhere

Shoot into your local bike shop you can get crazy arse deals on cordura these days, personally I would get Tecnic, I would recommend a quality Leather brand with an over suit as being the best for protection, as it crashes better than textiles

Picked up a pair of ixon pants last week.Removable ce armour ,zip out liner, padding in all the right places and seem to be waterproof and warm to boot reduced from $229 to $129. I checked out deals at motomail and trademe's c-nell who sell Nerve and reckon what I got were the best in the price bracket .

Moshin leather jacket is ok,not great,but was a good buy off trademe,certainly wouldn't pay $399 or so for them,cordura is best from bike shops can try it on,cost to return wrong sized jackets aint cheap(Moshin sent us wrong sized first time,fixed up freight though),managed to get 2 dri rider jackets for $119 on special at bike shop.

Try cash converters we sold our old jackets there,but research your prices,sold mine for $80 and in the shop for $225(was $225 new 4 yrs ago)albeit the jacket was as new.

Thanks for the help guys. Been reading the 1Tonne and Moshin threads and it seems there's a mixed opinion... I'm sure they're pretty safe, I'm morried about how well the waterproofing is though as that's why I'm getting new gear.

Might just be easier if I go back to Holeshot, the dudes there were awesome guys, had a good chat with em! I'll be getting a helmet and gloves too (summer gloves in this cold are terrible!!!) so they should be able to sort me out.

Thanks again!

Have a Mohsin jacket. Its been fine. My son has borrowed it a few times as well. Hes found it warm and waterproof on short trips (I bought it as a summer jacket). Their feedback is 100% so can't be all bad.

I have bought a leather jacket and pants off him and they are fine
he is happy for you to go round there and try the stuff on no eftpos though
Consensus here seems to be that Leather with cheap plastic over trou and top is the best option . After a bin the cordura needs to be thrown away but leather can be repaired.

Yeah ... I agree with you. Leather is best for protection if you are about to be acquainted with 'Mr Road' on a one on one situation. Chuck some wet weather gear over top. You get the best of both worlds then.
If you can only afford a set of cordura gear though ... basic stuff is a lot better than not wearing any kind of protection. 1Tonne would be my pick though for good quality cordura gear. Haven't seen Mohsin's cordura stuff yet, but I like the one leather jacket I bought off him. He's a nice guy to deal with, as are the "1Tonne people".

The mixed opinions of 1Tonne most likely consists of the positives being people who actually own 1Tonne gear and negatives being people who don't. I have 1Tonne gear and it's excellent. You definately get more than you pay for, it may not be the ultimate in safety, but if you want that then you may aswell cut of your dick and roll yourself in bubble wrap.

**Mschvs** · 5th June 2009, 14:38

I don't own any 1tonne gear as yet, but I plan to!

For the price you pay, I think you get q bit of bang for your buck ... NDORFN's leather jacket from 1tonne is great, and I am particularly looking at eventually getting some gloves and boots from them.

Just like everything else in clothing, a lot of the time you are paying for the 'Well Known' label ... which doesn't necessarily mean it's any better then anything else. And seems nowadays, anyone can say anything about their products superiority to others, and 'Mew and Improved' technologies ... what the hell does that mean anyway ... if it's NEW how can it be IMPROVED??
