have you looked at spool leathers they are a real good price around $950 nz one peice and hump on back and all the goodies on the inside
and nice bike there

Bren - now that Tony is doing a custom order, why dont you get leathers that are made to fit you exact...:spudguita

Joni - because I want some joe rocket ones, these spools i have now fit pretty good, I think the sizing is the same for joe rocket!

just bought a spool one piece, worth a look imo

this is my dad wearing it,
fits me a little tighter
bloody good price too

Normally I hate spammers, my this one is actually on topic, and in a prexisting (admittedly old) thread! Well done to the Tompako corp!

Hi

I've had real issues in NZ trying to find a semi ok suit for racing that isint really expensive, i've found a company in the states and i'm thinking about getting a suit from them, but would like some advice first. The suit i am looking at getting in from the states is:

Joe Rocket
GPX One Piece Suit
1.4mm Cowhide
Plastic body armor
Dual density spine pad
Full Flex™ windproof stretch panels in sleeves, legs and crotch
Beveled knee sliders
Molded shoulder vents
Low profile Nu-buck leather collar
Nu-buck leather cuff, with two stage adjuster
Curved sleeves and legs

(picture attached)

BUT i'd like to know if I could get anything near the same in NZ for a similar price... the price in NZ dollars including delivery is $797.92. Is this a good price or could i get something similar local?

Many thanks

You would want to make damn sure you werent going to get dinged for GST on the top of what you are paying. that takes it to $900. Is there import duty? if so that will be another whack.

I bought a one piece suit without trying it and it was hopeless. In fact it is hanging in my garage still.

What I did get was a custom spec suit from TonyB Minotaur brand. Ive even fallen off on it and it was mint.

It was fuck all more than what you are talking as well: $1200 or so? I cant remember. Worth every goddamn cent.
