Rapha fake?

[jayonabike]

They're fake in my opinion. I have the real thing, bought from the Rapha website. They don't come in the see through plastic bag shown on the eBay listing but in a presentation box as shown in the pic below

Cheers, what are the gloves like?? U happy with them

 

[jayonabike]

Yes, very. My wife bought them for me for my birthday last year. Every time I wear them the leather gets a little more softer. The fit is fantastic and the 2mm thick padding (as used in sniper gloves) works surprisingly well. You could as someone posted up thread buy 5 pairs for the same money, or, buy these which will out last all 5 pairs of cheap gloves.

Why would sniper glove padding be any different to any other padding. I read boxing glove padding is superior.

 

[jayonabike]

I didn't say it was, just that the padding used in these gloves is the same as the padding used in snipers gloves. If boxing glove padding is superior use boxing gloves to cycle in then.

The club caps sold as new are definitely fakes, I know the guy who supplies the originals.
