    Hi guys, see below:

    Unworn, so perfect condition.

    I was given these as gift which were purchased from EBay, I know that there are many fakes about constructed from genuine bits, so to avoid any doubt, please assume these are NOT GENUINE.

    They don't match any of my kit, so are surplus to requirements.

    £60.00

    They may be genuine, but I can't guarantee it so I'd rather be honest. If I am breaking any forum rules I'd be happy to remove the advert.

    As to how they perform in a crash, who knows and I would hope never to find out. I'm not sure the individual components know which sweat shop they were stitched together in, and if they came out of the front or back door of the factory.

    Don't take my word for it either way...but I have just compared them to my GP Pro gloves which I know are pucker, apart from very slight differences in the location of the finger protection which could be down to manufacture process tolerance they look genuine enough, you would have to check the quality of the leather side by side to make a more considered decision. Just my two pence worth.

    Most times the gloves genuine will have a alpinestars label with a ce one behind fakes will just have a tab with s m or l on . I have crashed once in both gloves . I didn't know I had a fake pair (a friend had them with a bike didn't fit gave them me ) until I took gloves to a stockist
