Where and when to buy a jacket in Auckland?

[xpom]

Hi folks,

I've been doing the daily commute to work (45 mins each way) for a while now and my jacket is about ready to be replaced. Well it is almost 7 years old

Can you recommend a few shops in the Auckland area? I know of most of the ones on the North Shore - Cycletreads etc - but none further afield

When is the best time to buy - in other words when are the sales?

I'm looking for an 'all weather' jacket as you never know when its going to rain in Auckland! (I'll keep my leathers for the weekend)

Cheers

I noticed cycle treads had a few jackets on TM with $1 reserve listings

Thanks for that, I hadn't thought of Trademe - doh!

I went and tried on jackets etc in shops and then looked on TM. Got all my gear in as new condition, for less than third of new price

Have a talk to Mat at bikesport in Hellensville, just watch out 4 cops!

motomail and their outlet store in the city.

I had an excellent experience with 1Tonne, and would highly recomend them. They have no store to visit - but they are a lot cheaper.

+1 for motomail and its outlet store

Thanks for that.

Motomail was probably going to be my next port of call.

Do they have a pre-Christmas sale or a Boxing day sale? or both?

Always looking for a discount... :-)
