1Tonne jackets on trademe

[Sparky Bills]

Its funny....
People buy this cheap stuff and expect it to actually keep the water out and protect you if you come off. Which is the reason we actually wear "Saftey" gear isnt it.
If we cant garrentee that it will protect you, then whats the point??

You cant honestly buy a $135 jacket and realisticly think it will last in a crash.

It would be good to have good gear but... I am just starting out getting a bike, license, gear, helmet, etc. It adds up quickly when you have to get it all.
I have a rather tight budget and am pritty much looking at using a bike for commuting for a start, thats why I'm looking at the 1tonne stuff.
I want to get all the right stuff but dont have $1000 to spend on gear unfortunately.

I understand that its expensive, but thats why many Kiwi bikers on a small budget talk to me because we have a range of clearout gear which we are selling for a huge discount, this is the same spec that has been crashed by kiwibikers 55 times (that I know of) with all gear still being completely serviceable.
so talk to us and we will sought out a suitable deal for you

[TheRich]

Yeah I checked out the website and your clearance stuff does seem quite good priced.
Funnily enough I was also talking to someone today who said the brand was good

[speights_bud]

Hmm, the only experience I've had with bike gear letting me down was with a one piece suit of 'spool' leathers, i was being a bit of a clown coming through splash at Manfield and lost the back end, and slid down the track for a while, i got up and finished the session but after getting back to the pits found both seams down the bum side of my thigh's had torn open about 6 inches each side, i was a little surprised to find that the gear was only single stitched in those places! i would have expected better from a well known brand. i had them and some other bits from previous spills stitched back up and returned the owner i'd borrowed them from (SketchyRacer)

[1tonne]

Maybe no one has crashed yet?

Sorry mate, you get what you pay for. I know how to buy and sell gear that cheap to but I have a caring nature for my fellow bikers, so dont cut corners.
And its not sour grapes because Im not in the cheap low quality market, nor will ever be, but I repeat you get what you pay for.

Trust me Quasimoto. I know that you are getting your products for a very similar price to me and the quality is also on an even keel. The only difference is you put a very high markup on yours but I am not in the market of ripping people off. You have said that "you simply CANNOT make a quality jacket with QUALITY components for this sought of money". This is a lie as you are selling leather jackets for only $150.00. Are these cheap crap as well? The fact that you can sell a leather jacket at $150.00 shows me also that you get your products for a similar price to me. If not, I would say you might even get them cheaper.
Also we have had people report about crashes and they were very happy with the way our gear handled it.

It's a vendor war!

[Quasievil]

All I have said and I continue to maintain low price will not equal a high quality garment, if you disagree fine but you might consider this as a law in economics.
I dont think I have actually bagged your product at all, but low cost products does equate low quality irrespective of its a car or a hair dryer
Im not really interested in a slagging war with you, and I will try not to bag your product or brand
At the end of the day good on you for having a go (I mean that) however I will answer you as below.

Trust me Quasimoto. I know that you are getting your products for a very similar price to me and the quality is also on an even keel.

Not even remotely are they in the same bracket at any level, sorry

The only difference is you put a very high markup on yours but I am not in the market of ripping people off. You have said that "you simply CANNOT make a quality jacket with QUALITY components for this sought of money".

You are not privy to this information so you do not know, however I will tell you my jacket cost is twice your average selling price.
i could however buy Jackets landed in New Zealand from your supplier for USD$55 and your pants for USD$43, but as I say, there is no connection between low quality and the QUASiMOTO brand.
Moshin, one tonne and lifestyle imports products are freely available from Pakistan mostly through trading houses like SHOO industries who collect products from various makers around Sailkot and represent them internationally and these items have found themselves in the Market here in NZ represented mostly on trademe, which only cause me concern from the safety perspective as the garments are not made to a high standard, Period.

This is a lie as you are selling leather jackets for only $150.00.

Im not a lier thanks

Only clearout items from the 2006 range are at $150.00 and sold at below costs

Are these cheap crap as well?

No

The fact that you can sell a leather jacket at $150.00 shows me also that you get your products for a similar price to me. If not, I would say you might even get them cheaper.

As above, clearout only, you will also note we do not pin a false retail price tag onto the items to lure customers thinking they are a higher quality item, Im not aware of your products being represented at retail level.

Also we have had people report about crashes and they were very happy with the way our gear handled it.

Thats good.



the Fact in the real world is Quality actually does cost money (real money) high quality cannot be made for low cost it simply doesnt work like that.
I understand that you have a market position and thats good, however we are at different levels on the quality and price scale and thats about the end of it really.

Good Luck with your business and there is no grudge from us at all.

My 1Tonne jacket and pants arrived last week and they are really good - for the price they are excellent. Compared to the DriRider $180 - $190 jackets I have seen in the shops, the 1Tonne has vents and 600 denier thickness (Cordura) whereas DriRider has no vents and 500 denier. The 1Tonne jackets will zip connect to the pants in the back. The jackets have reflective striping - that works - and has all the pockets, velcro, zips and snaps that you would want. The jacket has some gray and white which I like instead of the solid black most other jackets have.

The gloves are super and = ones that cost $160 or more in the shops. As with anything on Trademe, read the comments. If the jackets were crappola you would see negative comments but all comments are ++.

Thanks Radar. Always pleased to hear from happy customers.

My 1tonne arrived today .. it fits really well ... and is really lovely.

Thanks Nasty. Glad to hear you like our products. We aim to bring you the best quality at the best prices. We now have really high quality boots at a great price if you are interested. Thanks once again.

What is the price range of your boots?

[1tonne]

We have some really high quality touring boots for $135.00 and some Race boots that look absolutely awesome (even I was shocked at how good the quality was) for $190.00. To have a look check out Trademe. You will be impressed with these. Thanks

Do they have a completely waterproof lining?

[1tonne]

Hi. The racing boots have a PU Lamination done to the leather which helps to waterproof them. The touring boots have a PU Lamination as well as a Ressia Membrane which means they are 100% waterproof. I hope this helps.

I think it's really important for people to do their home work when it comes to riding gear and safety. Don't let someone tell you certian gear is not up to it...find out for yourself. Ask heaps of questions and get to know what makes a good product and compare brands on those bases. This is a great forum for asking heaps of questions and finding out the facts. It's disappointing some feel they have to have their five cents worth when they have no knowledge of the product. It's funny as you don't see the manufacturers and distributors for Alpine Star, Dianese etc jumping on here telling everyone "you get what you pay for" as I think they give consumers a little more credit!!
