The hand-me-down thread

**jafagsx250** · 24th April 2018, 21:51

Does anyone have an old jacket or pants to pass on? Doesn't need to fancy just I have a mate who is a student and just got a bike.

Cheers.

Hi jafa
Some details will help.

Leather or textile?
Sizes?
mate's location?

If they have no joy here then suggest they try charity shops or Cash Converters. Maybe go with them to a bike shop to try stuff on for size.

He doesn't mind. Whatever anyone wants to give.

He's in Auckland.

He is saving up as a student and having a look at trade me and Facebook.

Cool, just get him sized up. I've scored a few near new Dainese jackets from opshops & markets.

Any tips on how to size him up? I will check the rev it or some other manufacturers website.

Which sort of op shops did you go to?

Like I said, just take him to a bike shop to try gear on for size. Shop staff will be able to tell him if it's fitting correctly.

Haha... I frequent a lot of them. But you guys have Savemart over there. Trash & treasure/ Car boot sales are good too.

If he's at Uni/College - a note on the community bulletin board.

It could do with a decent airing as I think it has been stored for quite a while, but apart from that looks in pretty good condition.

Jacket XL, Pants L (inseam ~33") and 2LXL (inseam ~35"), Gloves L, Boots 45. Jacket and pants all have the inner liners.

PM me if you want to have a look.

Thanks very much intoxicated! He'll put them to good use every day

You know the teenager riding the loud Ninja 300, the one without any good gear

I've got a pair of old Oxtar boots, they've been repaired once already but there's still some life left in them.
Better than skate shoes
these might even still be waterproof. Size 47 (UK12/US13)

One pair of unlined summer gloves, quasimoto branded gloves, size 2XL.

I'd prefer Wellington collection over posting

I've got a pair of Rainoff waterproof overgloves that don't fit me.
They are size small (sizing info here)

The two finger gloves look really awkward, but once you've got them on they are comfortable to ride in and are very warm and waterproof.
Pick up in Rotorua, or $3 to post them anywhere within NZ.
