I bought some "Hybrid" 2 piece leathers off ebay. The write up said they were pre production models of an expensive new American range of leathers that were going to come over here.
I paid ?75 for them brand new with tags. When I got them it had another name on the tag & "Made in the Phillipines" on them. Googled them & found they were Phillipino stuff, but the quality is spot on. CE body armour all over the place, double stitched all the way round, so I reckon I got a bargain. Whether these gloves will be the same, I don't know, but, you never know. The Chinese people get paid about a penny a month, so they could be pretty good

I got some GP pro's from someone in the uk for £40 posted new. He was selling quite a few pairs. I was unsure until they arrived, and I'm fairly certain they are genuine, if they're not then they're such a good copy that I dont care.

The leather is soft as you like!

You wont believe what its actually costs to make things like that in places like China; the money that is made on £120 gloves is huge. It all goes on sponsorship and marketing, not into the actual product.

Also have a gander at the Sidi Rainsports they've got listed. They're £150 RRP over here! If they are genuine then what a bargain!

Soft leather isnt always a good sign.

There was a chinese company not long back dealing with a uk sales/distribution, they were selling Leather for what appeared to be very cheap Genuine branded leather items.

Someone looked into it more (Possibly MCN) and bought a set, further investigations showed that the 'soft leather' that the Leathers were made from was infact Faux Leather which would rip to bits as soon as it made contact with the tarmac.

So be warned......

Check feedback rating boys and girls if you can follow this link

If not go into this item and post in the seller's feedback from there

May still get some though...Its only a pair of gloves isn't it. Maybe boots too.
