Cheap Alpinestars gloves from China on ebay.

..... are blatantly fake right?

Loads sold, mainly positive feedback. Whats going on?

Linkage?

edit: 1000 posts of absolute nonsense. Sarcastic "Bra-vo", and slow clap.

I've seen those as well.

There are a lot of companies over China way that will buy one set/pair of originals and then copy them.

I had someone email me (SPAM, don't know where they got my email address from, damn it!) offering Alpinestars boots (the same as the ones I've owned for just over a year and cost me £200), for only £55!!!!

I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole! There's definately something iffy going on when they're that cheap....they're either cheap copies or original faulty etc.... either way I can't imagine them holding up if you have an off!

I'm suprised ebay hasn't caught on to them yet, as it was in the news the other week about fakes on ebay.

Extremely fake I dont know how they get away with it.

I keep see japan/china sellers selling screens for 99p but it now etc as well, something isnt right.

I'd say not fake just not any good. You know, not as go as GP Pros, like my HG gloves which I have had for almost a year and the only sign of wear is when I came off.

The only way you could produce £18 leather gloves would be to have 200 5 year olds hand sewing them in a chinese sweat shop.

SP1-s are normally £89, now I know we get robbed in the UK but £18 for genuine A-star gloves, they cant possibly be real.

Order some plowsie, and if they are real I will buy them off you for £40 lol

I'd be tempted to get the and see how good they are, ?36 (with postage) for a pair of gloves still isn't bad even if they are copies and are decent build quality.

Quality spelling, quality feedback, quality product

But gloves are basially gloves. They are all made from leather, and it copied will probably be double stiched etc, so why wouldnt they be as good as the real, darnsite more expensive item? Maybe the alpinetarts gloves are just over priced!

If i had the cash id get and try a pair. I mean, i have spent lots on bike stuff, and you dont always get what you pay for.
