Opinions on Rev'it Ignition Jacket

[Chisanga]

After trying on the Ignition today at Motomail, i'm pretty convinced I don't want it. There is a worrying lack of leather throughout and what leather there is is only about 1mm thick.

As the above poster stated there are many domes on the inside and 3 layers are just far too much... too much hassle.

And then there is the price of $700 along with the fact that it will not attach to any Rev't leather pants.. only Cordura ones.

I'm visiting Quasi tommorrow or Sat and I expect that I will be more satisfied with his gear.

Gay but not as gay as Quasimoto gear

Whatever you get, make sure you can get duct tape in matching colour...

[Chisanga]

If I don't need duct tape to fix my jacket i'll keep some handy for your mouth

Or as gay as a poofy dog lover on a triumph

The jury has returned on the issue of gear.

I am now outfitted in some fantastic gear made by Quasimoto.

Bret was excellent to deal with and his gear is of high quality, and considering the price he charges it was pretty hard to walk away.

I am very happy.

Urk...

I just remembered, I have something else to do on Sunday... like ... have a deep and meaningful discussion with my wife... and my mother in law... there, that imagery should burn the evil out of my brain...

Many people forget that the fit of the leathers is one of the most important saftey features. Made to measure is the only way to get a really good fit. BKS in the UK make some of the finest leathers in the world however most of us can't really afford them

http://www.bksleather.co.uk/ (their website is pain in the arse though - trying to be far too clever as usual)

there are few of ppl out there who actualy dont know how leathers should fit
for your safty

Im Counting in two years 35 crashes all gear still being worn, can you get better than that ?
the main thing is there is a label on all my gear it says QUASiMOTO and that is me, I am the owner, its my balls, my reputation and my livelyhood on the line, I dont have a counter a retail shop and a wholesaler to hide behind ,its me and me, working for me, that is the single biggest thing in my opinion, anyway, the gear HAS TO BE GOOD cause I cant afford it not to be, its taken me two years so far and I reckon now the gear is amongst the best you will find anywhere, we only comprimise on price !!!

Good selling, and well said.

sorry for reserecting this thread, im interested to know if anyone has brought one of these jackets ? I am interested as they are Leather (tho some would debate it) and have a waterproof membrane.. When I checked with Quasimoto last, i was told the only thing that with withstand the crap everchanging weather in Auckland would be one of his textile jackets... not really what I wanted to get, but none the less, is it worth getting one of these or can someone suggest a leather jacket that stands up to the Auckland weather ?

Cheers
