Decent equipment avaiable in Santiago de Chile?
Hi all,
Just wondering what you guys think: is it best to buy before (in the UK) or wait until I get to Santiago? The problem is I have to transit to Dubai for a few days, then to Buenos Aires, then get the bus to Santiago, and travel a bit after that as well, hence I'm enthusiastic to keep my luggage weight/bulk down.
I'm a budget rider, just looking for cost effective and decent protection, no expensive BMW riding suits, etc. Can decent, basic mesh armoured jackets be found in Santiago, and are they relatively priced? On a side-note, is camping gas available in Santiago? I have most of my main equipment already bought from the UK, as it is quite cheap here, but I'd prefer to pick up the bulky things like Helmet, gloves, etc, in Chile when I buy the bike.
I know understand that Chile is a developed and modern country, but I've really no idea if supplies are easily/cheaply found there (got a shock in Australia as everything is so bloody expensive compared to the UK). So if any Chilean or experienced HUBB'ers could give some advice, that would be great!
rtw,
