wheels 543 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I just bought the Gill OS2 jacket and love it. I too and froed between Sailors corner with Musto and Burnsco looking at the features and came to the conclusion that the latest OS2 was the way to go. That is the same range as the Musto MPX, but half the price. $450 it cost me, where as the Musto was over a grand. I had the Lalizas Jacket and I thought it was quite good. But now after having a proper breathable Jacket, the difference is night and day. You feel so much warmer when it is wet and cold and it seems that you have a far greater temperature range of comfort. So when it gets warmer, you are not trying to rip the thing off to cool down. I really want to get some Gill Pants at sometime. I bought some shoes from Slam with 50% off. I believe they are retaining their Website sales. Link to post Share on other sites
fifo 0 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I ordered Musto gear from out of the country and am very happy with it. Had no trouble with delivery. I think we are being pineappled with the costs charged down here. Link to post Share on other sites

ab1974 1 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Couple of my crew just purchased Musto jackets from Events Clothing in St Lukes. Limited sizes and models (normally samples or incorrect ordered stock) but pretty good prices. They paid 50% off RRP for some Musto BR2 Jackets. http://www.eventsclothing.co.nz/ These guys are the NZ distrubutor for Musto and some other wet weather gear Link to post Share on other sites

wheels 543 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I got the Gill OS2 for $450. I think they are normally $500. The Musto equiv was arond a grand. So value for money, yes absolutely. I do not know what the new Lazilas is like, but I have one that is now 7yrs old and it is not a patch on the new Gill. Link to post Share on other sites
