Good or bad?

[Gibbo89]

I remember looking at jackets worth 299 etc when I was bying my gear earlier this year. I finally settled for a $600 one. THe difference is apparent if you notice the seams, stitching, material quality etc. Then again it al depends on how much you use, how long etc. The jacket I got from Cycletreads (which is a great place btw) looks cool on the bike and I can wear to movies malls etc.. I look like a biker but its near fashionable enough for me... Once you're a biker, all you wear is an attitude my friend lol

Also, leather jackets are not as waterproof as textile ones but will give you more abrasion resistance and last longer

Good luck

thanks for the advice. seems like their are differing views on the definition of 'waterproof'. some say brand new textile ones wont be 100% waterproof, just a matter of toughening up i guess.

Get leather and a over suit mate, best of both worlds and you look cooler lol

I wouldn't wear some bike gear around.. it's just too gay especially the suits.. Most of the textile bike gear is fairly standard to look at. Yeah it still looks like bike gear, but its not as bad as a one-piece white leather or a skeleton suit.

Steve

My skeleton suit is amazing thank you very much!

point taken. but what i'm after is going to most likely be a textile jacket eh.

All good dude, my only advise is to buy something decent and try to avoid some of the crap that sells on Tm, there are heaps of good affordable suggestions above so go with one of them.
I have a Tecnic, and have had it for like mmmm 7 years and its still going strong, so thats a good brand, it was a mid price point which is the spot you need to buy in if you can dude.
Good luck

Who cares and what has it got to do with you - you tosser.

Another tosser.

Who cares? Your potential customers probably care.
Your claims that you always work with a customer to work out any problems and provide professional service are wearing thinner and thinner. I'd stop posting before it gets any worse if I were you mate.
Not posting anymore as I don't really want to derail this thread with off topic posts, although I'm glad I have been able to add another 'retailer' to my DO NOT BUY FROM list, cheers.

Well its complete tossers like you that poke there nose in with there 2 cents worth that piss me off. If ever in CHCH come and tell me what a big man you are.
You prats are all happy when you get a bargain but soon as some one complains on this site before they contact the seller you all jump in with know all comments. I dont need your business - i will stick to the nice South Island motorcyclists. If any one else has a smart arse comment come and tell me. Im easy to find.

Again another tosser airing his big mouth comments, i dont care for your attitude , and as far as im concerned you North Island loud mouths can go get your ribs removed and go suck yourselves. I am no longer going to be selling bike gear - im concentrating on other business ventures. So tosser you can buy from where ever you like, so long as i dont have to deal with you bunch of moaning Wankers.

HAHAHAHAHA, What a fucking surprise!!

Oddly enough, this appears to support the information my potential customer ( remember I turned the work down on ethical grounds ) told me had happend. All I can say is, one less dodgy trader out of the market, and that can only be a good thing.

Just as a matter of interest, I do wear cordura-type gear. LIke Quasi, a Technic jacket that fits my womanly curves very nicely, and Mobig pants that also hug my curves very nicely. The trick is to buy the BEST you can afford that fits YOUR body the best.

That's the way I'd go if I was starting out again... Black Rock suit, Warehouse set of PVCs, thermal neck noodle, pin-lock, and you'll laugh in the face of winter. My Teknic jacket is on year 8... cost me $700 (iirc) in 02, but is still in great condition, no seams letting go anywhere... but, are the ones they make now as good a quality as that one... who knows. I could buy a Black Rock suit from Quasi for that sort of coin, and I except the quality would be at least as good if his product matches his marketing.

/edit: And if it's not clear, I expect it does... KB can be brutal at times, he'd have been raked over the coals if his shit wasn't what he (quite vocally at times) purports it to be

I have a Tecnic

LIke Quasi, a Technic jacket that fits

It's fookin Teknic!

[Ratti]

And did your potential customer tell you they got a replacement pair od pants then tried to get there ones fixed. NO. Idont have to answer to you Ratti - if i am a dodgy trader then i wont say what you are but it isnt nice. Get your facts right befroe you open that massive big mouth you have. But at least you have a lot of Gay followers up there in the North Island. And just to annoy you and your fuck wit mates we will still be around with our good gear.

Gibbo89 i hope you find something suitable and not to pricey.
