Frankly You should have done that in the first place rather than drag it out here.

Yes, very good point. I will edit the post as not to put anybody off buying 1tonne products, assuming they are all great quality and my boots were a random mishap......

I think there may be a serious safety issue if that is not the scenario.

The sport pants and touring jacket are awesome value for money! Nice and warm as well.

Ive been using their one piece leathers and gloves now for the past few months and
have found them super comfy and the quality of stitching and materials second to
none. So personally Im happy in their gear and will continue using it in the future with
no problems

Am looking at grabbing this myself.
Not sure if the "small" will be small enough tho..

How is the jacket anyway?

**Aaron_newrider** · 13th August 2009, 18:22

Really like the jacket, CE shoulder/elbow and the shoulder armour does 1/2 way down to your wrist so it feels like you could actually fall on your arm. The rib padding looks like it would help, and there are some good straps on the side to keep it tight.

Nice and warm with the inner that's removable also.
Really small jackets compared to the label, the lady who runs www.motorcyclegear.co.nz is really awesome so just ask if you can return it.

I bought a Shark about 6 months ago: the lining in the chin has lifted and the foam underneath has disintegrated. I'm not impressed.
