Gday, has anyone had aany experience with "Bikers Gear" at Phillip Island in Melbourne? I am looking at buying a pair of Storm boots from them (my Alpine stars are a bit small and I have had enough so reckon a spare set for warm weather when my feet swell is just the ticket).
Thanks
Ben

Re: Bikers Gear, Phillip Island, Melbourne
I've purchased my leathers from them.
Zip on the jacket was around the wrong way to connect to the pants -emailed them and they said take it to a leather good repairer. They were not interested in me sending them back.
Within 12 months I've had all the zips on the jacket replaced - they all broke.
The pants have been fine tho. No problems at all.
It could be that I got a"Friday" jacket but their post-sale service I found to be less than impressive.

I don't like the term insane - I prefer mentally hilarious!

I've only purchased a pair of kevlar jeans from them (as couldn't purchase my size anywhere else without paying a fortune!)
quality seems good - haven't put them down the road to find out how effective they really are though (& don't intend to!).
ordered at 11pm on a Thursday night, had a reply back immediately that they had sold out of blue & would I take black. Took the black, & they were sitting in my post box on Saturday morning.

That's what someone else I know has said too when they were trying to exchange something.

I have a set of their leather pants - I think they are the 'Sport' model w/ kneesliders......well they got tested to the max last week , and came through OK - I received NIL damage to knees etc, but the leathers did pop at the knee joint, along the seam.....and easy repair. I am pretty happy with the protection they offered in a big prang.....
