Interesting reading.....I have a Moshin cordura jacket for the Aprilia, lots of pockets and definitely 100% waterproof. It was vey inexpensive, and suits it's purpose......as for protection in "offs" ....well I hope I will never have to find out,
(I only ever came off a s young lad many moons ago.)
I do however wear leather pants.....And also leather jacket for Harley...
If I would buy a cordura Jacket again, I would happily get Moshin.....
Leathers you need to try on, and are undisputedly lightyears better for protection....

You only have to look back at how Quasi conducted himself on this site a few years back to realise that honour and tact are not his strong points. I wont buy Quasi product either.
Well I know I won't buy his gear again, and that is mainly because of his attitude towards other people selling gear that are on this forum. He consistently slags other suppliers gear off, and I don't see any other supplier here doing the same thing. It is immature and very poor conduct IMO. and I have had a gutsfull of it on KB. I don't care how many friends or supporters you have on here Quasi, you need an 'attitude adjustment' and to learn professionalism if you want to stay successful in business.
For what it’s worth, I believe Quasi is genuinely passionate about motorcycle gear and the safety of riders! I see that as a good thing and rare in this day and age.
Diplomacy may not be his strong suit, but are his comments driven by malice or concern? We know he doesn’t like having his gear compared to the cheaper brands and that’s fair enough. I’d imagine Dusty from Leda or the dude from Celtic Leathers wouldn’t like their gear aligned with cheap brands.
Do I own any Quasi gear? No! Would I buy any Quasi gear? Possibly, though I like to try before I buy and logistics is a factor!
Would I buy Mohsin or 1Tonne? No, as I consider it unknown and I now refuse to budget myself when it comes to motorcycle gear.
Is there a place for Mohsin and 1Tonne? Sure there is, as many people are restricted by a budget and can’t afford expensive gear, or simply don’t view it as important enough.

The saying you get what you pay for is expressed many times throughout this forum, and it is so true. It is not good to compare high priced products to those of a much lower price range. Of course the product's features and quality will differ, that's the way of life. It's like comparing an expensive motorcycle to a much cheaper one, of course the quality and specs will be extremely different.
I'm a cheap bastard, so I would choose to go for the Mohsin or 1Tonne gear, however if I had a million dollars to spend, of course I would buy the most expensive gear out there.

Well for me .... this thread was about discussing how good .... or not, Mohsin's leather gear is. I think it is relevant if people comment on that point, based on knowledge of his product from using it, or having used it recently, or have reliable anecdotal evidence of a friend or someone that uses Mohsin's products.
What I objected to ... once again, was another dealer starting to slag or bring down in some way, this dealers gear. That is unprofessional, and not at all needed, as really good gear stands up on it's own merits, without the supplier having to denigrate anyone elses gear, to make his achieve a high status. It doesn't matter if someone is "passionate" about motorcycling and motorcyclists safety or not. That doesn't give them the right to denigrate other dealers gear, no matter who it is. I wouldn't hesitate to defend Quasi, if other dealers started to have a go at him. It's a principal at stake here, and some genuine dealers reputations can be ruined easily enough by others listening to, and heading the advice of a senior member of this forum, which Quasi would seem to be. He has a strong following for his products and obviously many friends here. That doesn't give him the right to slag other dealers off.
Anyone who sells gear on here .... or anywhere else for that matter, will sink or swim on the basis of the quality and value for money of their product. No dealer here deserves to have his or her gear rubbished by a fellow dealer. That is my objection. In my view, it is about professionalism and character.

I think we need to get some more info on what the moshins/1tonnes gear are like after its been binned. And really see if there is a difference in the amount of wear and the how the seams have held up.
Anyone out there which such knowledge??
