Just some comments in general about this thread...
In terms of safety vs price, its fantastic to be able to spend $395 on a full suit, and be able to take it easy with no bins at a track day, rather then spend $395 on a name brand jacket and not have the $$$ to buy trousers to even let you go NEAR a track day.
Or if you have to choose
betwen the track-day-ing with a $700 full suit...or a $500 name-brand leather jacket zipped to cordura trousers...
When a retailer seems to mention the worlds "top APPAREL designers who has (SIC)
thier garments in the Moto GP"... What does this mean? Was it Hugo Boss-designed because one of the GP riders wears Hugo-Boss at after race events? - would be SWEET if all leathers could fit like a tailored business suit though =)
Even worse, it could suggest that DESIGNS are being copied from MotoGP, and potentially manufactured by some average factory.
And even if it does come out of the same factory the Dainese/AlpineStars/AGV come from, unfortunately does not categorically mean that the quality is of the same standard as the big name.
Bad spelling on websites and/or TradeMe listings don't exude professionalism, and too many NZ sites look like they are designed in the English as a Second Language country the suits are likely sourced from.
I know bad spelling doesnt equate bad suits, but hey guys,
your'e running a business!
Answering pertinent questions about a product that any potential customer (or 'on behalf of'...) may want to put forward would rank quite 'up there' in my books for professionalism.
Been to the 'Tron to buy some of Quasi's stuff in the past, and he has only had POSITIVE things to say about 1Tonne and LifeStyle. And HE volunteered these comments. Can't see that, or his comments here on this thread being anti-competitive.
My 10c worth (damn inflation...)
