Just got my full and a new bike, and with the intention of riding more and going to the track I decided to get some leather gear to replace my codura commuter gear.
I chose Qmoto for a number of reasons; the price, the support and reputation it has on KB, but mostly the obscenely high safety specs given the price.
I am a very fussy buyer, especially when it comes to shelling out $700+. Furthermore I'm pretty small so I sometimes have trouble finding gear/clothes which fit. Based on this I opted to go past Hamilton while on holiday over New Years to try it on rather than buy over the internet. PM'd quasievil, arranged a time no trouble.
Got there, had trouble finding the jacket I wanted in my size, but found another which fitted, and fitting pants too. Brett was very patient while I tried on what seemed like half the gear in his garage, and was happy to give advice re safety, fit, armor, track days etc. I left with a new jacket, pants, and a knox back protector insert for the jacket to replace the 'cheese sandwich' foam already in there.
Customer service was as good as the best bike shops I've been to. And he doesn't even have a shop, this was his house.
Went for a ride today (or more accurately, I rode all day today) on my new bike with my new gear. More than happy with both purchases - street triples are epic bikes and Quasi's gear was comfortable and felt so much safer than any of my codura gear. An inspection of the stitching, leather thickness, and armor confirms this. I intend to get a lot more wear out of this gear over the coming months and years, and I concur with most of the sentiments expressed in Phantasm's review above. Chalk me up as another happy customer!
