    Key is, dont skimp on the price, buy good gear, whatever it flavour it is.
    My problem is getting ones that fit, never found anything in textile. The leather ones are perfect.

    Its due to my height to weight ratio being a little out.

    Safety first. What others think LAST!

    I'd never be without all leather - if you can afford it anyway.

    Do you find that you ...swagger when you walk in leather pants?
    Sort of John Wayne style?...

    i've got Qmoto jacket + pants. originally my plan was leather in summer, textile in winter (have a spool jacket and pants too)

    the first time i put on my textile stuff after a few weeks in leathers i felt distinctly under protected, maybe its just the weight or something. but the leathers seemed to hold armor and so on in place a lot better too. once i realised they resisted mild showers ok, i've hardly worn my spool gear.

    my gear collection is worth tons more than my bike, but i value my skin enough to make that the budget priority.

    Thanks guys, will definitely save up for leather pants from Qmoto I reckon. So right about textiles, have found that the "knee" pads dont sit right.

    Also leather feels way more protective! and like some others have said on here, who cares what others think when you are sliding down the road eh

    Anyway this is my first forum post so am glad I didnt get shredded too bad...even though I ride a Honda

    on the quality of the qmoto edge jacket.
    I just got mine from Bret and am stoked with it. Having swiched from textile to leather, the leather feels so much better. Looking to get the pants next.
    Ha Ha, im from welly and ride a honda as well
    Give me fuel, give me fire, give me that which i desire

    I've bought most of my gear from Quasi, been happy with it so far and he's been good to deal with. And I'm not getting any discounts or bribes either.
