about the taobao gear, I have bought a fake textile fox jacket with plastic pads for about 350rmb, and I have to say it wasn't one of the cheapest, It looked quite well, better than I would expect, I was wondering how they can make it for such a low price. I have it now for about a month or two, maybe 5 one day trips and it has just fallen apart without any reason. its not even stiches, just the fabric is going into pieces in couple of places. the same with fake alpinestars gloves. I saw some good looking leather alpinestars jackets, well on taobao just showing the example photo, but the prices were at two different sellers 280rmb and 750rmb. Anyway is much to cheap to do something good but I wonder where does the price difference come from
