    I dont understand how people can honestly look at this trademe stuff (no name brand stuff) and think its good quality!
    Its not. Have you actually had a look at it. I mean really looked?

    Shitty materials, shitty stitching, shitty quality.
    Open your eyes people! Stop being soooooo nieve!!!!!!!

    I've always reckoned that when it comes to buying gear like jackets, boots, helmets, gloves, nothing but nothing beats seeing them in the flesh and trying them on for fit and function. You're taking a gamble otherwise.

    To true,and that's where both Quasi and 1Tonne are able to let you do that.Then you can make the big decision,unlike other places where pick up is not an option.

    Self fulfilling prophecy, The better the quality, the longer it will last, the less return customers you get. Success can be measured in failure.

    The best fitting/feeling helmet I've tried is a Chinese ZPF brand MX helmet that cost me $45.

    Only failing is the viewport is slightly too small for goggles to seat properly.

    I'm saying the most comfortable helmet I've tried on cost me $45.
    It fits very well all around without any pressure points or looseness and it's RED so must be good.

    I have been running an ixon suit, its a very good suit for the $$$ but i have just bought an alpinestar race replica suit for an embarrasing amount of money but the diff is unbeliveable! the suit fits nice and tight but even with all the padding plastic etc etc it doesnt restrict any movement the leathers not stiff its so good.

    I would say get a brand like alpinestar spidi dianese if you can afford it now cause in the long run you will save money....

    If you want a cheaper suit though check mine out on trade me
