1 tonne gear is fine and has been tested by people both on the track and on the road. in some instances it's lasted better for people than their 'expensive' gear.....

The general consensus these days seems to be that it's pretty good for the price. They've been in business too long to be selling crap.

I have 1 tonne jacket & pants..
Have no complants with it..
Jackets got a bulky feel with all the pads in..

I have a pair of 1 Tonne winter sport riding pants. Very happy with the quality and finish. And they are also great to deal with as a retiler.

Is retiling when they just throw the new ones over the top of the old?

I have 1 tonne pants, have crashed in them twice, on the road at 70km, on the track at over 200km. they held up fantastically in both instances. I found them friendly and efficient and happily recommend them to others.

You get what you pay for, if your used to wearing a $500 suit then a $1000 suit will be great. If your used to wearing a $5000 suit then a $1000 suit will feel like crap....
