After waiting for nearly three months...

[<Rhino>]

The shop that was suposed to be getting in my riding pants told me they didn't come on the shipment I have been ringing every few weeks and waited patiently every time they said not long now, will be here next week etc......nearly three months on and sorry next shipment is december!!!!

So are there any suppliers here or can somone reccomend where I can get a pair of cordura pants from, the catch is they have to be generous in size the bigger the better. I have thighs the size of tree trunks

Send your sizing through to Quasi, he's always keen to help out people with gear. See if he has anything

whats the name off this shop? is it in chch. i had the same sort of thing buying a helmet waited months for the "shipment to arrive" it finally turned up. probably wont buy from them again.

Best riding gear available IMHO comes from www.aerostich.com. Serious riding gear and they'll make everything custom fit to your body. They aren't cheap, but the gear isn't either. If nothing else, check out their website and get on their mailing list. Their catalogue is almost 300 pages. Great reading.
I have a hi viz Roadcrafter suit that has served me well for many years. Well worth the investment.

Its a Wellington based shop, don't want to name it but it looks like TSS Cycles in the Hutt might come to the rescue, they are getting some for me to try .

Buy online. Less than 7 days fedex from the States. Just use NZ shops for sizing!! Fuck them and their 300% mark up. Got boots a month ago for $126 landed, they were $480 here.

shops usually wait cos they want to collect more orders before they order as they have more bargaining power with their overseas supplier.. plus it'll be more cost effective for their shipping fees.. that means more $$ for them and fuk all for you.. so just order it online yourself i reckon. you bear the cost of shipping, but you dont have to wait for anyone

mebbe we should have a 'name and shame' sticky on here?

This is going to sound really bad but, I don't know! They did say what they were but I can't remember, due to my sizeing I didn't have much of a choice.

Ah, another local distributor success storey.
Never mind, I'm sure they offered to air freight them in (at their cost) to atone for the inconvenience and incompetence.
Go local distributors!!
