didnt even get a bag from J&S with another set of alpinestars.

got some sidis from this guy to ....ok last years model but dead cheap and perfect condition.

cant say a bad thing about it.

everyone keeps saying fake and keep away, but bbadger got some and from his thread they seem fairly legit

they could be real, gloves probably cost alpinestars no more than 10 to make since they mass produce them, so this could be real enough

They're fake mate, no way they'd sell them that cheap on eBay.co.uk if they weren't.

The real test comes when someone crash tests them. Dunno bout you but I use my hands every day and if they were damaged I'd have an incredibly hard time and would probably loose my job so I think I'll buy reputable makes from reputable places.

they may be fake .... or just defects as there is a tiny bit of odd stitching on the beggiining bit of the glove ( not the most life saving bit of the glove me thinks )

and crash test BEEN THERE ! held up fine abit scuffed as where my clothes but really good nout wrong with em.

although the guy i bought em off closed his acount the next day due to "legal issues" still got the gloves through and get an email every few weeks informing me of his new site.

Congrats on getting the good pair from the bad fakes then!

Still don't think it's worth the risk as they don't have quality control, believe me, I used to shift a fair few bits of counterfiet goods in me youf!

Seems you got lucky (just read glove reviews in the bike mags, even good gloves from reputable names can have difficulty standing up to the test) and I don't fancy willingly putting any part of my safety in lucks hands!!

I'll but out now and let others have their say.
