Thinking of getting leathers

[Quasievil]

Cheers for the nice words guys, Mine and TonyB 's gear are excellent quality and as far as mine goes has proven results ie in crashes it stays togther, that should be all ya need.
Remember the only reason its cheaper is because there is no retail margin in there, if there was it would be around $740 for one of my Jackets. You will likely find also that my gear and TonyBs is made to a better spec than alot of big name brands.
I know IM biased but if you are in the market you should check out our gear.
By the way Colapop, your gear is on a plane on Monday.
Also I have 500kgs of leather here by next weekend, I wil have alot of it at the trackday for you all to check out.
Cheers

Thanks for the help, have a lot to consider but one thing Ive found is that everyone agree leathers over DriRider gear, don,t think it would matter too much if its a 1 or 2 piece suit would only wear it when out on a long day ride or trackday would use the DR suit for everyday to work and the shops, will get called a wannabe racer but from what your all saying is the safety factor out weighs the poseur so I can live with that, will check out motomail and Quasi cheers

Or maybe I should spring for a better jacket with a connection zip... just how important is the zip... and should we get the gear now, or wait for summer??

I dunno, any help appreciated....

Feeling a bit under dressed are we ?

If you have the option I would go for a zip together. You can't predict what sort of crash you'll have and the last thing you want to be thinking about when you're sliding down the road is .... maybe I should have got the zip together !!

Buy now or wait till summer... well Cordura is warmer ... leathers... cold in winter... hot in summer. Your choice

Wahoo I'm gonna be clothed in new leather!!




Someone said something about needing a bike....

zips are very good... ask Cibby about her off. When you come off, if you are sliding feet first, its very likely the jacket will roll up exposing your tasty flesh to the tarmac. Some might say you're unlikely to slide feet first, but you don't want to be taking odds on how you will be coming off.

For the gear, tighter is better, it stops the armour from rolling around and moving out of position, and not protecting the areas it should.

That said, your body changes sizes according to the weather, and in summer you will swell a bit, so don't get it absolutely snug for winter. Of course, leather will also stretch a bit in the beginning....

Winter wise, unless going for it, I would normally say cordura, it keeps you dry, and is easier to dry properly. Summer, leather is hotter, but also protects you more...

Ive just brought a pair of Quasimoto pants, and I must say that they look to be really good quality (of course im no expert, but i have heard alot of good feedback). Only problem is I got the wrong size, so need to prolly go up a size or two. However, I was able to get them on (just not do them up, got the waist measurment a bit off), and they definently feel a shitload more sturdier than my cordura pants, so im looking forward to riding in them once I have the right size. Next will be the jacket.
