    How was the quality, fit etc? Prices on one or two piece suits is very very good.
    What about boots and gloves?

    This company is out of Pakistan. They are only using the nz domain to fool people. They do not have rights or licensing to put Kawasaki or other copyrighted products on the apparel. Lots of the images are copied from other websites like the Ducati jackets where they have removed the Ducati brand name via photoshop. Ask for a contact phone number and/or address.

    +1. A friend has a jacket from them he got off ebay. Its cheap, poor stitching, dye job is patchy and says Made in India right on it. Looks like a typical sweat shop product.

    I've been riding with Celtic suits for a while - http://www.celtic-leathers.com/news.php. These are bespoke, hand made 100% in New Zealand. Look at their prices compared to the other company. If they were actually manufactured in NZ there would not be that price difference.
