Has anyone bought the 'fake' A* gloves off ebay or similar?

Looking at real ones today I saw that they are made in China so my guess is these 'fake' ones could be from the same factory Question

Just search for 'Alpinestars GP plus' and all the cheap ones are supposedly fake from china

Although real ones come from china too...

Fuck you funny man! If the OP put what he meant in the post, I'd know wouldn't I!

For all we know, the chinese rip off merchants could well have named them A*'s.

BTW, the fake pazzo's have served me well.

I've not brought any but I remember someone on gixxer junkies buying some and then complaining that the leather was thin and I think they had cracked in places.

Facepalm +1 on the A* Laughing Laughing

Have a look at this, someone was advertising those fake GP Pro's on here, claiming they were real.

Buying a fake watch or dvd is one thing, but I'd draw the line at fake gear!

Real or not, you may only find out when you're sliding down the road. Cheap is not necessarily bad, but quality is paramount, the label won't protect you!

Cheap ass spada or frank thomas is much better than some pos nonsense "alpinestars".

Not really, I have had Bearing and Buffalo glvoes and my Alpinestars are much better.

The quality is top notch and protection is too.

I crashed at 5mph in a pair of Frank Thomas gloves and the palm split open giving me gravel rash.

I had a near Identical crash 2 weeks ago in my alpinestars and they were barely marked.

Sorry guys, I was steaming when I wrote that. I meant better than fake alpinestars gear. I didn't mean the real stuff.

Kind of! Sometimes I do see a thread here and think oh it's quite popular! Then I find out that it is a bump, but nevermind, I like to browse and read on here ATM.
