Hey, not sure where to post this (mods feel free to move). I ordered a bunch of gear on taobao and just received my gloves today.

128 kuai for a pair of Alpinestars S1 leather gloves that retail for $189 and sell on eBay for $159 (in USD):

I don't think they're fake... I've had Alpinestars gear before in the States, and these gloves don't have any telltale fakeness to them. They'll be great for spring and summer riding (I bet a bit too cold for winter)... helluva discount (about 1/6th the retail cost)

Anyway, that's a hot deal on some gloves! I'll add to this thread as I get the rest of my gear. (Helmet, boots and helmet cam, maybe a Jacket too...)
