[QUOTE=Quasievil;1129843702]No we dont sorry, we thought of bringing in genuine Cordura but as the market is full of cheap NON cordura crap we wouldnt be able to compete with the fakes so we wont, the market is full of it and most of it is cheap crap no matter how well it seems to be defended

Bingo ! ! Thats what concerns me ! !

Watering everything down since 1999 even our Protective gear....

Call it what it is 1Tonne and stop the BS ! !

Please check our website. We have taken the name out of the advertising. Even though it may be the same product as the original material, we are not allowed to use the name as it has a copyright as Quassi has informed us. It was news to us that the name "Cordura" was copyrighted and so as soon as we were informed, we removed it. The products we sell are very high quality and this is shown by all our satisfied customers. We just don't use the name anymore. That's all it is.

Lol, even my RJ's jacket that said it's Cordura leaks like a flippin sieve....... Taking it back tomorrow, wet!

I'm sticking with my "Gay As" winter PVC pants and gummys, at least I stay dry......

When I got back into riding after a 10 year break, I bought a Cordura (Jesus Christ am I allowed to even say the word?) jacket from the shop on the corner of Tuam and Colombo Streets in Christchurch. It was a non branded cheaper jacket (all I could afford, okay okay it's all the wife would let me spend!), but I tell you what it was completely waterproof, breathable and held together when I came off at about 50 km/h. The shop is still there and still sells bike gear to my knowledge.
