Cheers for that Gizzit. You are a legand.
Sounds good to me. Well done to the crew at 1 tonne!
Will be keeping an eye out on this new gear coming in![]()
The only stupid question is a question not asked!
Have a 1tonne leather jacket, cordura trousers and just bought their denims for the summer, all bloody well made, fits well good price for your average man, no prada pricing if you get what I mean.
well done 1tonne you give great customer service, and have a bloody great product to boot.
cheers

Lucky all you guys.. my three month old cordura stuff (strada sporty stragio??? sth liek that) jacket leaks... i think from zips of the vents... and inner always seems damp, even after 3-5 mins in moderate rain. NOT happy and do not look forward to winter :S
the matching pants are ohk, but they leak at the crotch area.
As a poor student, i cant afford new gear, so i guess ill just have to bite the bullet and toughen up to the wet haha.
Well, on the strength of this thread, I've just purchased the 1 tonne cordura/waterproof membrane sports pants to replace my old touring leather pants. The service from Nathan and Natalia was first rate and the pants were a perfect fit (note: they're available in short leg for shortarses like me). They are extremely well made with decent quality fittings. All I have to do is test them in a real downpour which won't be for the next few days but am really impressed so far.
I purchased some sports pants and boots last week. They arrived the next day and they really are the business. I'm really happy with them.
Watch out for tow ropes and quickly braking cars
I've bought a bit of gear now from Nathan & Natalia. I have the utmost confidence in them as people with real integrity, sellers of really good quality gear, and at excellent prices !!
Seeing this thread come back up again, .... reminds me I need to buy some waterproof boots from them soon !!![]()
Is now a bad time to say that about a week after i made this thread i was caught in the worst downpour ever. Pools of water were being blown across the road and i could barely see. My ass got absolutely soaked. I don't think anything could have kept this amount of water out. I didn't have the thermal liner in though so that might have made a difference. Made for an uncomfortable day at work thats for sure. I do believe that was a one off and nobody in their right mind would ride a bike in that sort of weather.
I bought the cordura jacket & pants and gave them the wet test last weekend. The only damp bit was around the neck where I didn't do up the collar properly. They get a very good rating from me, especially for the asking price.
That was more than could be said for my Dririder Storm gloves.
The best way to forget all your troubles is to wear tight underpants.
Yeah I've been caught in some pretty heavy Northland downpours, and haven't been wet yet in 1Tonne cordura gear !! However ...... last week I got caught out though .... coming home and I had the vent zips all open, and it bucketed down, and I got wet through the unzipped vents !!! I was too pig headed to stop and do the zips up .... thinking 'oh I've only got a short distance to go .....how bad can it get' !!!! lolI did get wet !!!
My only time wet with this gear on .... and it was no fault of the gear .... just the idiot wearing it !!!!

I put my opinion of the gloves in Bike & Product Reviews
