Great deals on gear

Seems too good to be true. Are they real leather?

I'm no expert, but I've had plenty of leather gear in the past. These gloves feel, fit and smell like the genuine article. If they're fake Alpinestars, they're very well made fake Alpinestars. I'm guessing that they didn't pass quality control... ie they have some defect that deems them not worthy of export. Quite common on Taobao, and a real asset for those of us who live in China.
