Pakistan-made leathers

[Quasievil]

I hear what your saying also, the cost price direct is from $30, I don't sell anything. The products are sold here in NZ on the shelves already, nothing new. People can simply buy direct if they want. The product isn't inferior or superior. The armour is fine, plastic and foam compounds. I have seen your products, it's not better or worse than others I have seen here. Same as One Tone and Lifestyle, RJ's etc...
$30-$50 us will buy a very impressive product with excellent durable protection and comfort. One can also choose there own style, and colours.

mmmm Fair enough mate, I cant back you up on any of this tho sorry, I know a bit more about what goes on trust me, I recommend people buy from a NZ supplier
Its usually in the crashing when you find out the stuff is poor.
like I said earlier dont crash "hoping" crash "knowing"

I respect that, and to be fair, I like your stuff too, and can vouch as many others can too that you put alot of time and effort into getting things right for your customers.
I think as far as service goes, you are definately one of the few NZ suppliers that still holds credible reliable, good old fashioned "Customer Service".
That is something that is very inconsistent in most shops.

I'm an expert at crashing ! If you like (in the interests of science of course) I'll take a one piece suit (black) from each of you and do my best to throw myself down the road. This way I can telly you whether your gear is good to crash in..

Generous of me eh..

The guy was racing.

There is an old saying, "Racing improves the breed." I'm not interested in getting into an argument about the merits of that, but Quasi does test his product in the real world.

And no, I'm not his mother, I don't work for him, and I don't wear his products. Yet.

[awayatc]

No worries............
my bad,
racing is a different game all together,
respect for that, and all the protective gear that go with it.

Was thinking of road riding.......
(and I know shit can happen there to.....)

[scumdog]

Just to balance the discussion a bit

Tell us about the Stitching type cotton? polyester, nylon or kevlar? and Quantity of stitching rows, on each area?
Tell us about the leather Grade buffalo or Cow? what grade within these options are being used?
(there are many types) the chemicals used to process the leather, skin safe chemicals?
What about the Zips, are they genuine YKK or fake, are they V.S 5 coil or 10 Coil?
Armour type, genuine ? did they provide you a certificate from Satra? or from Cambridge? is it soft or hard, composite ?
Thermal Lining, any? what material is used in the thermal lining.
Zips ? full circumference?
Back Up service ? if it blows apart on the road or track are they going to help you in repair or show interest in the problem, do they care?
Do they offer a fitment guarantee with the products? do you have recourse under the guarantees act?


Know is it fine enough for a ride ????
(checks window)
Nope !!

Yeah but they make the best tassles, what about you???

My $250 leather pants took a 15 m slide off the road into a ditch not a mark on them or me.... bike a wee bit different but we parted company fairly shortly after hitting the gravel.

PS The trou are pakistani... but very heavy leather.... as long as the stitching etc is good there are some bargains to be found.

That's the trick though, both my Spidi Carbon gloves and Spool 1 piece suffer from 'shit stitching syndrome' .... both have come apart from fairly minor crashes (by my standards) and required repair. Both are quite well known and popular brands too, proving just because they are used by many doesn't make 'em good.

wow, i just checked out one of the website, shoo industries, and i emiled them for a price list. they replied and i cant believe the prices.............soooo cheap.....are they just nasty shit though?

ive always bought good quality, name brand gear for my biking clothes, which costs a lorra dorra!

so have people bought gear from shoo industres and found it good / comparable to regular stuff we are used to seeing for sale?

more importantly, has anyone crashed in it?

I dunno who mae my leathers - but the labels certainly say "Made in Pakistan" .. Been down the road twice in the gear and walked away from both - and both pants and jacket are still useable (bit scuffed but barely noticeable and now look like used leathers). I went down the road four times in a custom jacket made by Dusty in the mid-80s ... I'd say it was comparable ...
