Gear Review - Q-Moto Black Rock

[Quasievil]

One more thing Quasi - my vengeance jacket (the quasimoto branded ones about 2008 vintage) has an opening at the bottom for the back protector - not at the top. This means you cannot replace the foam with say a hard Knox protector or similar (the opening isn't big enough). Is this something your new jackets allow for?

Other than that my jacket is great and still looks new after 2 years

PS: Sno seal is good stuff to use on leather to keep it conditioned and supple.

Hiya Dave

The Pocket is only for the foam, which incidentally is not a back protector, its a tool to help keep the Jacket in shape when on a hanger.
The pockets arent big enough for a back protector as a "proper" back Protector is longer than the Jacket. so it wont work right.
Being an advocate of "proper back protectors" and good coccyx protection I dont even want to have a shorter Knox unit in there.
Make Sense ?

And yes to Sno Seal, you should be using it now, pre summer also

Hey Quasi. When I get my new leathers should I apply Sno Seal right away? Or wear them in first?

If for whatever reason I can't get Sno Seal are there other products which work just the same?

Good write up reviewing the gear. Thanks for sharing it. Good work, quasi!

You Can do it straight away if you like, its a good way to protect pre summer and pre winter.
Best let the leather warm up in the sun and then treat it panel by panel

Let the leather heat up in direct sunlight. The sno seal melts in. I find that a better method than a hairdryer.

Also use it on your boots to keep them supple. Remember to clean 'em first though (get the road grime off).

Back on topic....

Actually our shipment that arrives tomorrow will have Hanging loops, well supposed to have anyway.

haha

They're bloody handy to have. I have to use 2 hangers with the springy clip thingies because of the weight of the pants.

Great stuff.... I'll be able to find out how cool they are in maybe four or five years time when I get my next set - LOL

Seriously though - glad my feedback helps you out!!

On another note.... I am happy to report that the gear DEFINITELY does not leach out black dye when it gets wet (as oh so many other leather items I've had in the past does) The MAG-NZ crew and I thought it was a good idea to have a teddy-bear run in the torrential rain last weekend. Completely bloody saturated from head to toe.... but definitely no dye

great stuff mate - great to know you're listening!
