Not sure if there was a thread about these or on ADVrider.
Unknown to me my wife ordered herself a pair of BMW GS gloves from Ebay, posted direct from China for £26.99, they arrived 10 days later.
Now then, the ones you happily splash out £69 from your local dealer are also made in China with 20% Kangaroo leather, 23% Goat leather etc. etc.
I've just spent (wasted) quite some time comparing them to my own pair.....exactly the same, in fact in places the Chinky ones appear slightly better quality.
So, my guess is they're not counterfeit but just the factory in China cutting out the very fat middle man.
If they are counterfeit then they're very, very good and could only guess perhaps there's no Kangaroo leather but there's certainly appears to be no difference there either.
