My Favorite is the Dainese suits but they are expense and only available at decent prices Overseas. But the best leathers are ones that fit you. It is hard to judge crash protection because every fall is different and at different speeds. My Daineses had to be cut off me I was that fucked up but only cut was thru one finger of my glove.
Seen some good quality suits split seams in crashes but how can you attribute that to suit design or effect of crash.
Good luck in the search.

Your bleet about the Quasimoto gear was about a jacket that you claimed to all but live in! and did Quasi not fix the problem you were having along with a very thourough explanation as what the problem was with the gear.
Whilst I believe you think you are doing the world a favour with your posts, you really are doing yourself and others that you are continuing to bad mouth a real injustice.
And please try to stay on topic, the thread was started asking about a one piece suit, some thing you have no experience with in the Quasimoto range, I have personally witnessed 5 crashes from people wearing his gear, and all stood up and walked away with the suit in very good condition considering they have just binned it on a race track at some speed.
I am sponsoed by IXON leathers, that is what I should be trying to promote, ( And brilliant they are) but one thing I really hate to see is a KIWI who is trying to do there best get jumped on unfairly, and YES, Brett is a mate.

gee wizzz
Ill second shauns comments 100 percent --Ive in the last couple of weeks seen 3 crashes at tracks in quazimoto gear--all with relatively minor damage-mostly er to the quazimoto words not to the actual structure of the leathers.
Im wearing a KBC suit which has held up pretty well to my crashes

I really love my Spyke One piece suit, though it's not a model that was imported to NZ.
I've previously had an AGV lower end suit (not bottom but stuill Pakistani made) a custom made set, plus another off the shelf set.
There is more than a little bit of "you get what you pay for" when buying leathers. Look beyond the flash harry graphics etc at:
1) the quality of the leather.
2) How is it stitched together - there is are good and bad ways. A good suit will have a line if stitching that by the way the leather is folded will be protected so the seam stays integral rather than bursting
3) What is the bodyarmour like - is it just plastic cups or real stuff. Lower end manufacturers may scrimp here as it is out of sight
4) what's it like when you are actually sitting on a bike in your normal riding position - this will be diferent to when you are standing up. I talk falsetto in my Spykes when not on the bike but oh so good on it.
5) What consideration is there to where the leather will bunch - like behind the knees
6) stretch panels - where you need them.
7) vented? Do you / don't you... my last 2 sets were and are great on the track - crap on the road in the rain!
8) zips, position and quality
8) ease of access - can you get in and out easily.
9) can you take the lining and body armout out - it's nice to clean them occassionally - should have seen the colour of mine when I washed them recently - and it they did smell okay before hand to. the water went dark, dark grey brown from the liner...
Even when I got too fat for my custom made suit (I was 17 and skinny when I got them) whn you put them on you just knew they were built for you.
Go look at lots to get a feel for what you get and what you like/don't like and never be scared to spend a bit and - it's your hide in it....

it was said that quasi gear gets good reviews....so i am on topic..
politics and religion intrest me man, but your assuming im a beliver.
Why do you think im "bad-mouthing" quasi?
everything i have said is true, and others have experienced similar things.
unfairly? I think there is cred in what i have said (about the gear)
if you read my post again, you will see that i am very happy with quasi's service, but not the product.
Forum whore
No they did have, like Ive said before we have changed the lining to a new stretchy mesh which is the best on the market............period
however ya need to let it go, and stop dragging it up all the bloody time
Ive run out of fucks to give
MAD I SAY
i have a 2 pc of teknic leathers these are really good quality stitching,leather, zips etc, have binned the bike twice in these and they have barely scratched and have saved my ass for sure ,i would recomend the brand, they had only been worn twice when i bought them for $800 my mate paid $1400 for them brand new.
MAD I SAY
i see you are in wanganui,try going down to the speedway track and ask the bike and sidecar riders where they got there leathers as alot of them will be custom made, when i was a sidecar swinger i had some custom made in akld for about $800
