A friend (of significant experience, both in years riding and the stresses exserted on leather when binning) bought a leather jacket from this guy and is more than happy with the product and service.

I will say this, you get what you pay for, literally

Actually would be (genuinely) interested to know... are you suggesting its NO good, or NOT AS good (as any one of a number of other Brands, including of course yours).

With what you know and have seen, are you suggesting that some the lesser quality items will not stand up in a single BIN or rather while protecting for said BIN perhaps would un-useable whereas a higher quality garment might be expected to not only stand up in a BIN but also remain useable.... ???

Well put it this way, whatever you buy consider that the price the importer pays is made up of components, such as leather, Armour, Threads, and Labour etc, which of these has been sacrificed to enable this product to be sold so cheaply? then the seller has a Margin also (of course)
I would not wear it because I know that something is comprimised.

I have been to about 7 Factories in Asia and I can tell you categorically that the bulk of them a dodgey shady pricks who lie about most things, such as CE armour, such as Leather quality, such as threads used and stitching methods, infact a few NZ based resellers (trademe based) dont even deal with the factory they deal with a trader, so fuck knows where they are getting the shit from.

I know this sounds like sour grapes or anti competitive behaviour..............I know I know, but I know about this kinda thing and like I say I wouldnt wear it and I prefer not seeing my mates wear it, I would rather they spent a bit of money on some decent gear, and there is alot to choose from eh.

I'm in retail,have been on many courses at factories,went to a bed manufacturer,saw first hand the insides of their competitors beds,some would last 5 yrs if lucky,but at $400 who cares,some of the cheap ones once you pulled them apart and checked spring for spring,foam quality etc,not hard to see why the ones we sell are the best,even when competitors are similar priced.

Was in clothing industry as an apprentice cutter to tradesman level,during that time we had a factory in Fiji,one of our staff was there to work,some other places they went to had staff putting made in nz labels on their clothes.

Mind you the other thing that would happen was our reps taking the new range to retailers,if they got comment to expensive they would say but if we drop the fabric quality would you buy,some major stores would then order 5000 shirts,others wouldn't compromise their percieved customer high end quality.Much like a company importing adidas original and another selling pirated crap.

Still comes down to in my opinion,pay for what you get,quality costs,but there is a fine line between quality and a name brand.

Remember a few years ago the Auckland rugby team had jerseys made with cotton traders logo on not adidas or canterbury,the cotton traders brand was sold in the red sheds,wasn't to bad either,had a couple of jerseys(not auckland)and sweats.

lol yes to that, that is especially true with big leather brands, some specs I have seen are laughable

[ColonelSponz]

haha cheers for all the feed back guys.

Hi there, please do not be mislead by Quasievil ill informed comments regarding the price and quality relationship. This is marketing 101!! We could name many brands which judged on price alone, would put Quasimoto gear in the bargain bin of the Warehouse. It is very naive to make comments about price and quality without taking into considerations business basics such as purchasing power, market positioning, and brand development etc (to name only a few). Unfortunately Qausievil, it does sound "like sour grapes or anti competitive behaviour". Furthermore it sounds like your quite threatened by our presence. On the other hand we will quietly go about our business of delivery quality products at extremely competitive prices. Thanks

8 months ago you were on here stirring and I told you to come back when you had a web presence and some technical documentation regarding your products. You've failed on both fronts, meanwhile Quasi's put a lot of effort into setting up a Customer Relationship Management system - complete with website, documentation, community and BAM store. Ask anyone and they'll tell you that Quasi gear is top quality kit, comparable with the top manufacturers.

Unfortunately, whenever I try and get any documentation on your gear it just returns results on a Pakistani-British author. Even when I search on TradeMe for "mohsin" it doesn't return any results! I've never heard a bad thing said about your gear, but I haven't heard a lot of people say how good it is either. You need to bring all the positive feedback together, up the quality of your presence on TradeMe - higher quality pictures, a big clean logo and lots of technical documentation. You have to give people the figures so they can compare it with other products!

You could easily compete with Quasi, but you need to up your image a bit first. Slagging him off on KiwiBiker - a place where he's pretty popular - isn't a good start. Especially when searching Google returns results from here, and it shows you arguing the toss over trivial things ;s.

My advice? Get a professional website and take it from there.

"Missleading comment. It's clear I've not gone anywhere!" - MohsinBikeWear

What I meant was that you haven't posted on here for a long time. Not that you haven't been selling a lot of kit, which judging from your TradeMe account you've been doing a lot of - all without a single neutral/negative feedback!
