AliExpress experiments - Non-watch products

[Suncoast]

My newest arrival from Aliexpress is a pair of motorcycle gloves Icon pursuit knockoffs or maybe seconds they came with all the factory tags etc. I picked up a pair of the perferated ones for summer riding. The leather and it is real leather feels and looks as good as the genuine ones. The last shot is a comparison with my wifes genuine non perferated ones. Difference is hers were $80.00 plus tax and shipping mine were $20.00 shipped no taxes, I see they've gone up to $22.00 now, if you put them in your watch list they seem to go on sale. Shipping took @ 40 days..

Going to buy one too. Thanks for the link :thumbup:

Me too, I bought a green one. Hope you show us when it arrives. Too bad they dont sell more elaborated models.

 

[If you see Kay]

Do you know which model this pen was? I am curious

That's a starwalker ballpoint or rollerball. It looks like a fantasy model because I don't think they came in tansy finish

Just ordered this Spyderco Paramilitary 2 for $13.

Great reviews and over 240 orders.

Let us know how it is! Torn between something like this or the Ganzo.

I might be wrong but this may be a lower quality model. I've read that there're 2 models of Military and Paramilitary, the lower quality one for about $15 and higher quality one which is almost equal to gen for about $25. I might be wrong cause I saw higher quality models for around $16. As I remember you should look to G10 texture and Lock.

This one had over 240 orders and glowing reviews.
After researching a little, I found out it doesn't have jimping like the Gen, but I don't really care (indentations in the blade for better grip).
For $13 you can't go wrong, and I may eventually pick up the other one you mentioned for $25.
I can always gift one of them at Christmas.

"But you should keep in mind that the designer products are fake."

^Really....what ever gave you that idea?

Noticed some very cool "running" shoes on Ali. I'm a bit of a runner and would never use them to run but they seem great for casual wear.

But I'm wondering, what's the build quality of no-brand chinese shoes? Will the seams come apart after a week? Any other dangers for my feet? http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free...hable-shock-proof-breathable/32317112496.html

Pretty cool. I bought some Roushe shoes from Ali to see how they compare to my Adidas for the gym. Still in transit unfortunately.

I've had great luck with hockey jerseys on AE, from all different sellers. Probably bought 6 or 7 over the last 18mo or so, no major issues. The yellow was a bit noticeably off on one in the right light, but when I complained to the seller they offered me a 50% refund -- works for me!

I also bought a set of softshell pants/jacket to use as an outer layer when winter hiking. Cost about $65 for the set shipped, but they are great. Zipper on the jacket scared me at first, but after wearing the jacket all fall and winter, it has yet to break. Stitching was really good everywhere else, and the material was actually waterproof and breathable. I think they list them as "lurker shark skin tad" if you are interested in grabbing a pair.

Right now I'm waiting on some S-Shock watches, and some RB sunglasses.

The two on the left just arrived. One Roller and one ballpoint. Once again, amazed by their quality. I think this trio will last forever.

I told you that you wouldn't regret it mclarendude

 

[GetSomeMoney]

I will know if it's a fantasy or fake pen.

My first MB pen came in (ordered another one later) and I must say, I am totally surprised by the quality, it is beyond belief. Extremely great quality. I will be ordering another MB pen. Great purchase. From order to delivery it took about 2 weeks

The pens look great, how is the movement/twist with the ballpoint pen, solid? loose?

Watches and pens are one thing. Personally, I wouldn't be buying motorcycle safety equiptment to save $60...

just remember, skin grafts are no fun! Keep the paint up, and rubber down.

Can you give me a link to the highest quality one? I'd like to get one, I tried looking but I don't see a $25 one. I found this one for $23, which I actually like the color, and has the logo on the clip: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2014...ives-Outdoor-Survival-Tools-4/1769750492.html However the guy has some bad reviews.

I want to try one of the paramilitary high quality versions. I'd like carbon fiber scales too. Having a hard time picking the right one.

Gabe, I've had a lot of rep MB pens and they were all shit. Are those pens really good enough to impress you guys? The ones the TD's sell are pretty, um.. not gen like.

This was discussed before in other post/sections, the quality is significantly different from the older MB Pen reps, huge difference, I had some old reps, and these newer pens are basically real level quality (in terms of the rollerball and ballpoint, the fountain pens are nice also but just not quite at the same level in terms of the nib and filling system).

 

[TheOmegaFan]

I suppose the knife in the picture above is Military, not Paramilitary2. And to find higher quality one you should look for smaller G10 texture and smaller texture on the lock like shown in this picture (it's gen pic):

That's what I've read about Chinese Military
