 Poster: A snowHead
|
Right, it's Germanic of me I know , but I love Spyder jackets. They are great looking, and the genuine ones are built to last. There is however so much counterfeited rubbish out there, and I really do not want to die of exposure on a lift somewhere to keep the Chinese forgery industry in business.
So here is the poser. I know for a fact these jackets are genuine
Jacket 1
As I've checked with Spyder Europe that they're a registered dealer.
I however like the colours of this one best:
Jacket 2
But am not sure if it's genuine. Has anyone bought from skitopshop before? Or better still know where I can buy a similar jacket in the UK?

I have not bought from skitopshop before but i have the same worries as you on the isue wether to buy from this seller i have spent half an hour going though there feedback and from what i can see no one has questioned if they are genuine so all seams ok not sure if i am going to make the plunge to buy or not.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Jacket 2 is very nice. Seems legit too - there's an awful lot of pics on there, would someone go to all that trouble for some snide gear? Not sure.
Looks good though - I want one!

A pedant will be along shortly to explore this issue further.
Too much worrying about snide gear IMO. I bet Chinese knock-offs will be sufficient for most skiers, in the same way as inexpensive garments from C&A used to be.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.
