Bought a pair of boots and a jacket about five months ago. Thought I had made a great deal as the items didn't cost all that much. Took the boots brand new for a week of riding around Tassie and they didn't last until the end of the trip. Now the seams on the leather jacket I purchased are tearing. I must have used that jacket less than 10 rides. As the saying goes, "you get what you pay for!" Do yourselves a favour and spend the extra money on some good gear. If this gear can't even withstand normal wear and tear, imagine a crash.
