Any dissing of other suppliers gear on here, by suppliers ..... is poor form, and I've brought this up before. Consumers who have bad experiences with gear .... should take it to the supplier as an issue first, before washing any dirt linen on here. If gear is regularly bad, people will discuss it eventually on here or in other forums. Likewise good gear gets a reputation from user feedback.
For a supplier/manufacturer to diss someone else's gear, is totally unnecessary. Good gear will stand up on it's own, through reputation, likewise poor quality gear gets discussed as well, especially if the supplier doesn't stand by his/her gear, if its a manufacturing/quality fault.
In saying this .... My wife and I use Quasi's gear (gloves, jacket, and pants) and I have no problem recommending the gear as good quality.
I do know people who have 1Tonne gear and love it, like wise Moshin gear, and other suppliers gear ..... and are more than happy with it.
I'm quite sure there are other manufacturers/suppliers who are also providing good gear, and at a suitable price for the different budgets that us bikers have available. Certainly having gear is way better than having nothing to protect you, acknowledging that some gear can provide superior protection to others. Generally that's why there is a price difference, which we all generally all understand. A common held belief is that "you get what you pay for". Sometimes .... you can get a bargain, or something suitable for the purpose, without spending the earth on it. Ultimately it does come down to an individual's disposable income, and choice.
Once again ...... IMHO ..... I'm quite sure there is enough room in the market for any suppliers on here .... not to stoop to dissing the others gear, with the thought that in doing so, it will enhance the reputation of their own gear. I will continue to see this as poor form, and totally unnecessary.
