Stuffs are for sale in pier manila
they are cheaper and looks ok

Are they good? has anyone tested their products?

IMHO the gears are better option than the helmets.

aws helmet pa mandin ang binili ko....
pansamantagal ko na lang siguro gagamitin yun.

If your planning to spend 2K on a helmet then buying Zeus Helmets at Motoworld or Promoto is better option. Dont trust you head on cheapo helmets that are not even DOT certified.

About a year ago i bought a modular helmet MRC same quality ng GDR iyan ang ginagamit ko as substitute helmet for my scoot and cruiser. the quality is not bad but not comparable sa mga medium or high end helmet in the local market which are DOT certified or SNELL certified. kung talagang walang budget it is better than no helmet at all :D

karamihan ng seller dito na nagbebenta ng mga GDR, shoei replicas at other helmets (not the high ends) ay dun din halos nakuha..



helmet sa motoworld mura na ah.. mga zeus

yung gears ok pa pero kung sa helmet, kung may budget ka rin lang bili ka na ng ZEUS or Spyder......

dun din ako sa pier bumili ng GDR before....at pinaginteresan pa..ninakaw pa nga yung GDR ko noon eh.... but its a good thing din naman para mapalitan sya...im using a HJC CL15 orbit right now...

subscribing...sir nakakabili nga tayo accessories para sa mga motor natin, bkit d natin bilhin yung magbibigay ng magandang proteksyon sa atin...
ride safe!!!

If you're after compliance with the "riding requirements" of the LTO, then the goods sold there are good enough for you.

If you're concerned about your safety.... BUY ORIG :clap:

Caveat Emptor (buyer beware !!!) not all you see is real... especially at the pier area :D

Peace to all !!!:)

well i already bought a helmet before posting.
my gf is using a cap helmet ( yung parang baseball cap ) while im using a full face index helmet ( free when i got the bike )

we do a alot of riding so i think buying it is better than the cap she is using.
now im using the modular from pier and she use the index helm.

at least i feel safer for her though im just inquiring about other gears. If someone have used them and tested them....

tama ka brod pero hindi naman lahat ng tao pare pareho ang financial capability to buy iyong mga helmet na sinasabi mo ako kasi sa dami ng type ng motor dapat iba't iba rin ang helmet iba sa enduro, iba sa cruiser iba sa scooter/underbone. kaya nga i have to buy an alternative helmet for short rides hindi man DULY CERTIFIED by DOT or SNELL at least may protection pa rin especially kapag ito ay full face still it will serve the purpose,....than nothing at all.

napansin ko lang dito sa forum, minsan kasi ang pananaw natin pag hindi mahal at kilalang brand hindi na mahusay like helmet, riding gear, tires and others

just to share a true story:one clubmate of mine was tail ended while riding his cruiser nauna pa siya sa motor niya sabi nga niya he was still lucky he is wearing a non-certified china made helmet which save his head from further injury.

don't get me wrong i am also using HJC and FULMER helmet both DOT certified on my long rides depending on the bike i am using.

imho kung wala pang budget better pa din ang fullface/modular na mabibili sa pier @ 900 pesos kesa sa tabo helmet na free pagbili ng motor.

ngayon kung may 1.5k ka naman na budget mag Zeus fullface ka na..

ok nga bilhin sa pier yung mga knee pads, gloves etc. bestbuy! may mga fox, scoyco atbp:D

mga sir, tanong ko lang po..saan po ba ung pier na ito? TIA

mga sir, tanong ko lang po..saan po ba ung pier na ito? TIA

near manila hotel....from roxas to tondo, meron kang madadaanan na rotonda....ikot ka then pasok ka sa port area... dadaanan mo yung old BIR bldg dun..... then after ng philippine star office dun na....magkabilaan na yung bilihan ng mga gears

get it if you can't really afford to get a certified helmet for the meantime and then save up for a certified helmet. the difference here is a matter of life and death and having a non-certified helmet is like playing russian roulette... it might save you or it might not. just my two cents.:)

well said there................ :clap::banana:

and, get your backride a good helmet too. Just last Sunday we saw a few riders with their pretty lady backrides and one of them took a spill. Guess what, the lady backride aint pretty no more. She was left with a big wound on her chin because the guy she was riding with didnt bother to provide decent protection for her lovely face.

ayy uu nga pala.....dapat buy 2 helmets lagi..hihihihi :D

Sir tama kayo dyan sa sinansabi nyo na hindi naman tayo lahat parepareho ng financial capabilities, but i think its is not an excuse para gumamit na lang tayo ng tabo helmet or a non branded helmet, kasi yung iba nating mga kapatid sa pag momotor eh yung first priority nila eh yung borloloy ng mga motorsiklo kesa protection ng kanilang ulo, yung mga hindi dot/snell approve kasi na helmet, hindi kaya e absorb yung impact, yung dot/snell approve naman na helmet, in times of worst accident, yan ang nag absorb ng impact na kadalasan nabibiyak after ng bangga-an (which yun talaga ang kailangan mangyari) para hindi mahinog yung ulo ng rider at meron expiration kung hanggang kailan lang natin magagamit ito. magastos? Oo, pero kailangan, kaya IMHO lang, e kailangan e educate natin yung mga kapatid natin sa motorsiklo na mag invest sa helmet/riding gears na may quality.

helmets from port area are good start for financially incapacitated riders....advise that it should be for a short term use if u engage in long rides or city rides(daily)....use it while you're busy investing for a DOT/Snell certified helmets..... i too used INDEX(from raon) then GDR(from port area) before and currently im using my HJC right now(for long rides)....i have a half face index helmet too(for palengke rides :D about 150 meters from my crib)....... and now im saving for caberg or KBC... :)

thanks sir! sana makakuha ako ng murang riding jacket dun... :s

this is based on experience about a year ago, my friends and i went for a ride and a friend had a spill at around 70kmh and by looking at the helmet the helmet had deep scratches which is normal for a slide. my friend was ok at first and then after about 30minutes at the hospital he was asking our names, he said that he don't remember our names anymore i thought he was just kidding but after an hour he can't see a thing for more than 3hours. he had to go through alot of testing. he said that he could have bought a good used cbr 150 from what they have spent... the damages wouldn't have been that much if he wore a certified helmet. remember snell or ece22.05 helmets are all the same when it comes to crash reliability, the only diffrence between an expensive snell, ece22.05 or bsi helmet from a same cheap certified helmet is that expensive helmets are lighter, more vents and the looks. get what you think your brain deserves.:)

Malapit lang po yung office namin dito sa pier manila, sa bandang dulo nun sa bilihan ng mga surplus na TVs eh nakabili ako ng Shoie na original from Japan 2nd hand nga lang. yung sa officemate ko Arai Japan naman, 1k po namin nabili each, pro nung bumalik ako ulit wala na silang stocks wala pa daw dating from Japan, so hintay hintay ako ulit dun!!!:clap:

the damages wouldn't have been that much if he wore a certified helmet.

bro what happened to your friend was unfortunate, however, kahit naka
expensive snell, ece22.05 or bsi helmet pa siya, brain trauma will still occur.

why? kasi the helmet was designed to prevent your skull from splitting open
when you crash and a helmet cannot prevent a concussion (which is why your
friend cannot remember you and your buddies, etc.)

in conclusion, regardless of which helmet he was using that time, the same thing
would still happen (memory loss, temporary blindness,etc.). The cause of that
was the impact. The helmet prevented him from scratching his face, or cracking
his skull but as for preventing head trauma resulting to those symptoms, no
helmet can do that.

simply put, naalog yung utak nya sa loob ng bungo nya .. hindi kaya iprevent
ng helmet na wag mangyari un lalo na kung malakas ang impact.

btw, it's a good thing matibay yung helmet na gamit nya at hindi nabiyak ...
mas malaki damage sa kanya kung ganun ang nangyari ....

pero, hey! by all means if you have the dough then buy expensive helmets that
you are sure na talgang matibay ... or kung me alam ka na cheapo helmet na
sing tibay ng expensive brands then go for it ...

.


dapat talagang i-consider yung mas magandang quality na helmet. kung ano man mangyari sa atin during spill, lalo na kung head injuries, mahirap makipagsapalaran.

dude, you totally missed my point. a good helmet that passed through ece22.05, snell or bsi certification could have prevented it from happening. the thing with cheap helmet is that the outer shell is too soft that it absorbs alot of the impact instead of dispersing the most of the impact and absorbing a little bit of the impact. it is the inner polystyrene's job to absorb all of the impact, while a cheap non-certified helmet would have very minimal polystyrene to get crushed and disperse the impact in the first place. those are some of the major difference of a good certified helmet and non certified helmet.

don't get me wrong but an adding another 1500php from those helmet is worth it and if you can't really afford to get it then get a cheap one it's better than nothing, then start saving for a good certified helmet and get it as soon as possible.

yes i agree....one more thing nga para maka less sa price ay huwag na lang yung subrang ganda ang tingnan, 1st, kahit pangit basta may quality....yung nakikita ko along pier ay ma blinded ka sa subrang ganda, pero di ko rin masabi na quality sya o hindi...sa ngayon kasi mahirap nang i determine yung geniune na helmet....dami imitation talaga......

sir, i think you need to get yourself a good certified helmet because helmets are supposed to prevent concussion, that is why certified helmet have to pass a gforce transfer test from the impact point to your head. here's something from wikipedia for you..

To understand the action of a helmet, it is first necessary to understand the mechanism of head injury. The common perception that a helmet's purpose is to save the rider's head from splitting open is misleading. Skull fractures are usually not life threatening unless the fracture is depressed and impinges on the brain beneath and bone fractures usually heal over a relatively short period. Brain injuries are much more serious. They frequently result in death, permanent disability or personality change and, unlike bone, neurological tissue has very limited ability to recover after an injury. Therefore, the primary purpose of a helmet is to prevent traumatic brain injury while skull and face injuries are a significant secondary concern.

The most common type of head injury in motorcycle accidents is closed head injury, meaning injury in which the skull is not broken as distinct from an open head injury like a bullet wound. Closed head injury results from violent acceleration of the head which causes the brain to move around inside the skull. During an impact to the front of the head, the brain lurches forwards inside the skull, squeezing the tissue near the impact site and stretching the tissue on the opposite side of the head. Then the brain rebounds in the opposite direction, stretching the tissue near the impact site and squeezing the tissue on the other side of the head. Blood vessels linking the brain to the inside of the skull may also break during this process, causing dangerous bleeding.

i personally like ece22.05 and bsi testing better than snell. this also makes the ece22.05 and bsi helmets lighter than snell certified helmet.:)

keep those healthy smiles, always wear a full face helmet.:D half lids would do the job to save your brain but a full face saves the face and the smile.:*

pre tototo yan....favor ako dyan...

kung ala talagang budget.ok na rin siguro yung full face sa pier.pero just as others said.it may or it might not be safe to use fake helmets.but i guess a fake helmet would be safer than no helmet at all.i would suggest ZEUS din.kung mods ng MC nakakabili tayo.why not invest first in good quality safety gears.mahalin mo muna sarili mo.bago ang motor mo.just my two cents din:)

may mga helmet na di naman BSI certified pero I'm sure that it can also pass, like Arai which is DOT/Snell.

My AGV stealth with kevlar shell is not Snell but BSI/DOT certified. Same with AGV titech.

I have Arai which is DOT/SNELL naman.

Di lang yung yung shell ang matibay sa mga yan kundi pati mga strap at lens.

Sa tingin ko mas maganda ang Double D ring strap kesa mga easy strap lang. lahat kase ng hi-end helmet ay naka double D ring.

mga sir, tanong ko lang po..saan po ba ung pier na ito? TIA

lagi kong nasa intramuros sir! sa kabilang kalsada pier 15 na napadaan ako doon talagang maraming nagtitinda diyan..hindi pa nga lang ako nakakapag tanong kung magkano ang mga price..

@pepe1275 .... thanks for pointing that out, I never looked at helmets that
way, I used to think that if you hit your head, even with any type of helmet,
it will not protect your brain ... to some extent, it does pala ... eniweiz, my
mistake, just disregard my previous post then ...

this is what we called coup and counter coup in medicine... kaya nga aside from buying a nice look and expensive helmet make sure it really fits for you, so you can minimize this situition to happen in case of an accident.

Now, helmet alone and proper gear will not save our lives --------- it's how we drive and how we respect other drivers. Have a safe ride guys...

pre tototo yan....favor ako dyan...

pumunta ka na rin pala dun sa pier meg...

i guess no helmet can match that ... prevention is better than cure ...

been riding for 7 years and never spilled even once ... defensive rider kasi ako,
awareness and anticipation ... I always think that drivers around me are unaware
of my presence so I anticipate what move they would make ....

pero still, better if you have a trusty helmet to protect your brain ...
I used to think skull lang pero thanks to pepe, now I include the brain ...

peace and happiness!:clap: back to southern comfort ....

yun din sabi ko sa sarili ko dati. I've been riding a motorcycle for years and never had an accident... that was until last year. may 2 major accidents ako. both of them i couldn't have avoided. binangga ako ng sasakyan na lasing ang drivers on both occasions.

agree pa rin ako sa point na the best protection you can get is to drive slowly and carefully. slowly to give your reflexes ample time to react to situations.
secondary na ang gears.
marami kasi sa atin na naka kumpleto nga gears pero when they ride, they ride like there's no tomorrow. di ko sila makaclassify as responsible riders din.

pumunta ka na rin pala dun sa pier meg...

i admit na tumingin din ako dun pre.....marami talaga...,sa quapo ay ganun din...grabe tralaga ang mga gears dun...dami mga design..

@
I agree noypito....kailangan na alisto tayo sa paligid natin...tingnan din ang condition ng turmots...ang driving kasi ay kailangan skilled tayo....
about sa gears...depende na lang sa taste ng buyer at sa budget...pero yung nakikita ko sa pier ay mahirap talaga i notify kung yan ay immitation o mga peke....kasi yung mga nakikita ko dun ay halos ka parihas din sa mga motorcycle stores, i admit na mahina din ako tumingin...pero kung dun ka talaga pupunta sa mga kakilala mo o di kaya sa mga malls like M####w###d(sorry di ako promoter) ay makikita mo rin dun yung mga orig na gears...

no problem sir, my pleasure helping a fellow mcpean see the importance of having a helmet.:)

don't get me wrong, I always wear my helmet ... that's next to my second most
important protection, defensive driving, the most important being prayer ...

hindi nga lang ako naging DOT SNELL ECE22.05 or BSI conscious ... dati isip ko
as long as the helmet doesn't crack, ok na, which is mali pala ...

btw, thanks din pala for posting that site ... it's very informative ...

ouch! sorry to hear that bro ... wala talaga tayong laban sa ganyan ...
dagdag mo na lang sa arsenal mo ang prayer ... it's a good thing that
you're alive and well naman, I hope there's no permanent damage ...

btw, ang mga gears ba like elbow back knee protection meron ding DOT
approval ??? napaisip lang ako ngayon ... never wore those before ...

Stuffs are for sale in pier manila
they are cheaper and looks ok

Are they good? has anyone tested their products?

yes they are ok and less cheaper...but they are noty DOT approved you might consider the much better one...

yes they are ok and less cheaper...but they are not DOT approved you might consider the much better one...


I guess this answers my question ... :D

that's why we 2 wheelers got to be more carefull, 10x more alert than driving a cage... but, we get 10x more excitement.:D so drive safe and drive with your gears.

no permanent damage naman pero na sideline ako for a few months.

as for the gears, wala naman standard ang DOT for elbow, back and knee protection. medyo may guidelines lang sila para sa helmets.
CE lang ang alam ko na standard for the body armor.

Mga Sirs Aside From the helmet in pier... what are the others gears can i get from pier?? TIA :s:s
