Default tank pad

Hi

Got a new winter jacket and in no time its worn through my tank pad could not believe it. Any ideas ?????? I do not want a bag that goes over the tank though.

Hunts on Kingsway have some good ones. Mines been on for over a year and still looks brand new! Which bits if you are rubbing on it?

Are you allowed to ask that?

No problem ever with my tank pads but aware that both my leathers and textiles run against it. Try a better quality one? Soem of the cheaper ones are very thin.

Also try and tuck any zips or metal bits away, as they are what will eat through the tankpad.

Hi


Its the studs that are rubbing, you pay all that money for a jacket. I hope the old tank pad comes off easy as the stickers didn't

Yeah I have the same problem but didn't realise a tank pad could help.
