The Quasimoto “Speedster” Leather Jacket Review.
I purchased this jacket in about August 2006, the idea behind purchasing it was to have something a little more user friendly than my Technic Stinger Jacket, because Cordura just doesn’t breathe!
Despite what the advertisements say, I have found the arms and armpits on the Technic to be particularly sweaty when not riding, so hence the need for some leather.
The prime motivation for purchasing this jacket however, was Quasi was having his 1 year birthday sale, and due to a series of coincidences, I managed to get this jacket at a great price.
Initially I found it hard to not wear this jacket, I loved it. Compared to my old Technic, this jacket was much more dressy, but also more comfortable when working in my office, or attending various meetings.
However, the stitching on the particular jacket, started to come apart in the sleeves and the right pocket, and the lining that covers the leather came apart at the stitching too.
Quasi promptly repaired this for me, but now it has come apart again, In the same sleeve too. “Zero Index” has a Quasi Jacket, and his seems fine. “the flux capacita” has the same model as me, and his one still is fine, and trust me, I don’t wear mine that often anymore, neither has it had a hard life.
My only guess is that my one was something that slipped past the quality control in Pakistan…
WINJA, Crazy Steve, The Dover and Inlinefour all mentioned poor quality stitching when I had a chat with them over the jacket, although for less than $280 what can you expect?
Quasi Gear cannot be beaten on price (bar lifestyle imports on which im hoping to review), and my stunt jacket still appears to be in good order, and i have seen flux's gear after he crashed in it, all very good for the price paid..
