Quasimoto jacket review

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..

i said nothing of the sort.

I said quasi's gear was stitched by child slaves using finest pakistani camel leather for the princely sum of 3c a month.

its the attention to detail that sets you apart dover

I have had some stitching issues on the inside liner but Quasi was more than happy to swap the jacket.

The new jacket had the same problem, so Mrs KD sewed it up for me at just over the 3c per month going rate.

Still waiting on mine...was suitably impressed with the quality on the sports pants that I have received though.

The Linings have changed from a silk type to a stretchy mesh fabric, the durability of this lining is ten times better than the old one.
Dover and Winja do not own a QUASiMOTO jacket so Im not sure of the reason why you mention their names, and Dover would not say anything derogatory about my gear online he would say it to my face.

We have made numerous quality changes to our gear and we are 100% focused on getting as much durability as we can, this has been the case with Linings, Zips and closures, Cut and Style etc etc etc, it is a long term process getting everything right the proof would be in the crash durability where the QUASiMOTO brand has surpassed anything else I have ever seen.

CARVER, if you have an issue take it up with me personally, I find it a bit off that you posted this without talking to me.

[TerminalAddict]

I can vouch for the stretchy lining.
I've got it, and have seen no evidence of any problems.

Especially since he mentions going to you before and you being more than helpful getting the problem repaired.

Plus mentions all his mates who have one without a problem.

I can vouch for that. Speed tested at 80-90k's. Leathers where scuffed and some broken stiching, but I walked away without a scratch on me.

[yungatart]

Can't vouch for the jacket, as mine has not arrived yet, but can certainly vouch for the pants.
I had an off and scuffed up my pants (hXc tells me they have street cred now!) I slid about 60 ft, broke a couple of bones, but my skin stayed intact.
The stitching is fine everywhere apart from the munted knee stretch panel.
I'm bloody glad I was wearing them, would hate to see my leg if I wasn't.

I've had my gear (pants and Jacket) since early last year. The first jacket I had was too small (poor communication on my behalf) swapped no problems. The next jacket had the silky lining that has since been changed - swapped no problems. I pointed out anything (fully and frankly) to Quasi about anything and everything I thought that either could be improved or modified with the gear I have and they have either been addressed or explained. To be perfectly honest - I have never had the level of customer service from anyone that I have had from Quasi and his wife.

I reccomend Quasi gear because it does what it's supposed to do. If you have any problems at all talk to the man (or woman) and it gets sorted - quickly and easily.

[Firefight]

bought a bit of stuff off him, all good, one minor problem in early shipment, offered my money back or repair for me at no cost(including free freight both ways) got the repair done, all sorted no problems since, would be happy to buy more stuff off him .

Am happy to recomend Quaziemoto brand,

and despite appauling taste in bikes (duc -kawa- duc) Brets not a bad sort to deal with.

Same here, had no probs dealing with Quasi, good bloke and decent gear at good prices.
I do not read the original post as a criticism of Quasi or the product, only as a comment on the gear as this person experienced it, however, it should probably have been done in consultation with Quasi for best results.

[mooks]

i have the sports pants with the sliders and have found them to be awesome. Quasi was great to deal with - pants arrived in good time and were more than I expected to be frank. The stretchy lining is better than others I have had in more expensive pants. Oh - and they give great arse ....... ahem
