    Lightbulb Interesting reading

    WOW,...for a newbie, that makes interesting reading ! Looks like I'll have to check out Quasi's website. Has it got Esmerelda there too ?

    Funny how I laugh EVERY time I read all these "tard me" traders trying to convince people that their product is actually good quality.
    And I REALLY REALLY hope that people on here dont buy it!

    Its shit. Plain and simple. As far as im concerned you would never be 100% safe in these products.

    Nearly 1200 trades and 100% positive feedback.

    Perhaps the gear isn't all that fantastic, but given a choice, I'd rather wear his pants than a pair of jeans. You're never 100% safe no matter what you wear.

    Dunno about that mate, some MX armour under my quasi kevlar jeans and I feel safer than previous bike pants I've had!

    Yeah I know I talk about them a lot, they're just so damn versatile!

    I hear what you're saying and I wouldn't mind a pair myself.

    I'm in the market for a pair of leather pants at the moment and I know what I want. Alpinestars Bat pants, but I'm still reluctant to part with 600 notes. I can certainly see why people go for a cheaper option, especially when you're talking a third the price.

    A quick review/comparison of the gear WE OWN.

    We dont have any Mohsin Leathers, but we have two Mohsin Textile Jackets, three DriRider jackets and Pants, and a cheapo second-hand leather race suit.

    The DriRiders are VERY fragile. Seams pull, liners rip, zips jamb and pop, buckles snap. You must not mistreat DriRider gear whatsoever or they will fall apart. Basically, our DriRiders are fucked, after only 7 months of ownership, and thats after having a few of them replaced under warranty as well. Not impressed.

    The Mohsin TEXTILE gear is much tougher than the DriRiders, but the jackets we have are not as warm or dry. The armor is better and the fabric and seams are much stiffer and stronger. It will be very good summer gear, as the DriRiders are way too hot in the summer. The Mohsin Textile Jackets LOOK awesome - beaten only by shithot-lookin set of leathers. They look and feel great as daily-wearers too, not just on the bike. The jacket liner was well suited to modifying for electric heating (liner goes right down to the cuffs.)

    NONE of the above Textile gear will protect you like a Leather suit, and ANY leather suit SHOULD be light years better protection than ANY Textile jacket.

    Shill warning: I suck no-ones cock for money or free leathers. edit: will suck pussy for free leathers though.

    Let me be your Guinea Pig

    I'm new to riding, but want the saftey gear having had three brothers all of which have been Motorcycle Couriers in London, and had spills to prove it. I've recently tried to buy a Quasimoto jacket off trade me, and had the unfortunate displeasure of it not fitting but I agree it was well made and felt good quality. I've looked quasi's site for another size but find the prices a bit to expensive. I don't need a lecture on you get what you pay for. But I'm now looking at a Mohsin Jacket. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Mo...-185038907.htm
    Haven't been to see it yet but will let you know.

    I have one of these jackets, and also have the similarly-priced CNELL Nerve jacket. The Nerve jacket has more features, and should be a little drier in the rain. They are both summer weight jackets.

    Hey Guys here is how it went with Moshin got to his house nice guy doesn't ride, but quite good gear. Jacket that I bid on didn't fit and was okay (not as bad as Cnell stuff.) So he gave me a one off jacket that he had, better quality than the one I had won no extra expense!!(good guy). I also had a look at the leather jackets for you they seem good quality and well padded quite envious if your going for one. Against Quasimoto jacket that I tried Quasi seemed thicker on the lining but not as many features with the size adjustments on arms and side. Comfort is hard to tell quasi's jacket didn't fit me correctly so not realy fair to compare on that front. But I would say both their stuff is worth a look, prices do seem to be quite different though.

    Dude, do I stick lots of self adjusters on the jackets so one jacket fits all?? doing that is not a good way to go, the adjusters are velcro and they unadjust during a crash resulting in the armour going astray.

    why do people alawys compare QMOTO to a trademe seller, compare QMOTO to a brand that has significant investment behind it not a seller who buys cheap "anything" to sell cheap "anything" and buys via a trading house in china.
    next person that compares QMOTO to a budget job will get shot
    Ive run out of fucks to give

    Interesting thread.

    I had a spill in DriRider Summit pants. Slid 3m on dry road, and not a rough one, it was a nice smooth intersection. Wore 2/3rds the way through the foam on the hip pad. I find that absolutely disgusting. If I was not sliding for that fraction of a second on my hip and was somewhere else, that would have been my skin wearing away.
    I do not recommend these pants.
    After that I went back to leathers and a rainsuit.
    I have been riding for 25yrs and have some of the quality gear I bought 10, 15 and 20 years ago and it is still good, except things like armour have advanced a lot in recent years.
    Bought a set of Quasi leather pants and racked up 45,000kms so far in them and they look like they will last like my 'old school' gear, except I don't wear my old leather pants because they have wadded cotton padding, lol
    I fear buying cheap gear because I don't see what is 600 denier or not with my eyes, but I can read a label- do I trust what I read?
    Rarely, even from the big brands.

    Just a quick comment about gear fitting,
    I don't even expect to buy off the rack leathers and have them fit like they should. I buget in a trip to MSW to get them perfectly adjusted so the great armour does stay in place.
