fake astar gloves - ebay

Post by freestyler »

Just letting everyone know there are some fake alpinestar GP Pro gloves getting around on ebay.
I purchased a pair 2 weeks ago, received them and badly made copy (here they are - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/150659400116 ... 1423.l2649 )

here are some currently selling http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Alpinestars- ... 2a1401ce5b

Pair I received had: paper like leather in areas, alpinestar logos were of poor quality and wrong colours(on the palm the pro under GP should be red) They fit very poorly, thumbs was twice as long. cufff protection is flimsy rubber.

just a heads up.

They should be reported to ebay,its not ilegal to sell non genuine gear but its ilegal to sell it and try and pass it off as a genuine product,send him a email and tell him your going to the department fair trading to check out his gloves.
