looking on gumtree for stuff and seeing a lot of unused stuff from some brand called Sirm Int. going for cheap.

Can't say I have ever heard of that brand before and I work with many distributors. From what I can find, they are a genuine business based in Pakistan with an office in London. That means they must pass all the safety regulations to be able to import them and sell them in the UK so i can't see why anything would be wrong with them? Not sure if that helps.

what the actual fuck?

safety regulations?

get on a plane, go to european motorcycle show in milan, see paki-stan and his mate paki-dave, order 500 pairs of gloves, haggle price in US$ and ask for them to attach "whatever-brand-name-you-like" to them, really, dave and stan won't care as long as they get their money, they send gloves to bonded warehouse at docks, you drive down there, pay handler for gloves, pay duty and load your van up, then you sell them

then find out the twisting fuckers "forgot" to fit the kevlar linings as agreed, and someone finds out (like RIDE magazine) and you get visit from trading standards as gloves are "not as described"

not actually happened to me, but know who it was
