Leathers?

[Quasievil]

OK, replying to my own post ...again..

anyone have anything to say about 1tonne gear? http://www.1tonne.co.nz
I dont know how to tell what i'm getting, appart from the description on the web site, and so far i only see triple stitching on qmoto's web site.

Thanks for your reply above Quasievil, much appreicated, and may i invite you to comment on the above if you wish.
cheers.

A couple of things, (not directed at 1 tonne)
1/ Look at the specification, mine wont .........isnt beaten
2/ Im on Kiwibiker as an active member so easily contactable, I own the Qmoto company, Im here every day to hear what my customers say.
3/ Im a racer and crash in my own gear, as do many racers and many customers
4/ you get what you pay for buy cheap get cheap........with any brand.

If you look at my specification you will see easily it is the best on the market.

Happy to help

i'll never say it too much: Glegge, consider also to buy certified gear.
just collect info and take your decision...

You're in Wellington - you should call Dusty at Leda Leathers in Stokes Valley. As far as I am aware, does not have "off the rack", everything is custom made exactly as you require. Very high quality, quite reasonable prices, has been around for ever (Dusty made my one piece suit about thirty years ago) http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~integra/leda.html

You are Correct man, Dusty does very good work!!!! I have used his gear before.
I was also going to use Quasimoto gear last year, BUT I REALLY WAS NOT READY TO RACE AGAIN ( Thanks Quasi)

you are really plugging 1 tonne which is fine by me Shaun, but you say you are behind them based on Quality first, I would be interested to know what you mean by this.
As I certainly dont think 1 tonne has any lead in the market in this area by any stretch of the imagination, so really I dont know what your talking about, do you ?

Its all good plugging a brand but when you talk up quality that "apparently" rates higher than others when it clearly doesnt, and promote it using you "credible" name it seems to me to be a bit "personal agenda ish"

Simply put 1 tonne spec vs spec on most brands does not appear as a market leader (with respect to Nathan and 1 tonne) so frankly I dont know what your on about

I'd go back to Dusty too. Hopefully that will only be needed for weight loss reasons ...

Not going down that path mate

I WILL WEAR www.1tonne.co.nz gear NO WORRIES!!!!!!!!!!!


I have also said in this thread that I was happy to wear your gear, and Leda gear.

It is the customers choice, and I am just providing them with options that I trust and would use, if that is wrong of me, humble apologies.

So true - my first full leathers were from Dusty - more years ago then i care to remember. When i stopped riding, i sold them for more then i paid for them.... They were like the day they had been made. Great craftsmanship, great quality and great price.

I just wanted to add - that I'm not trying to run companies off against each other here, it really is just an info gathering exercise, i already have way more to go on than when i started.

so thanks to all for replying and again - I just wanted to emphasis this is just an info gathering exercise, not an attempt to run any brands down - or against each other.

thanks again too all contributing.

Dusty at Leda Leathers,you will get exactly what you want and they fit like a glove.
