:roll: not decided yet where i'll go; i'm waiting for a new board i ordered so when i got it (soon :pray: :pray: ), then it will depend where there is snow left....but anyway I won't go to hokkaido because it's too far/expensive from shanghai.
Was thinking about Hakuba or Zao; if no snow there, then one of those 'may' resorts.

Spyder gear in Shangai

Post by SITO » Monday 14 March 2005, 22:15

Hey eaglefly,

In ebay I have seen some guys whom buy some Spyder gear very very cheap(about 130 euros jacket and pants) compared whith his price 600euros here in Europe from Shangay, :roll: .

Do you know if these could be the original gear Spyder manufactured direct in Shangai or are simply copies of em???

Ola Sito,
Actually what you can find on the market can be real products made in china or copy as well. I haven't check in the details yet but as Spyder is in China (http://www.spyder.com.cn/) and seems to produce locally some products (skiwear), it really could be both...depends who is selling on ebay and, most of all, if there are already companies counterfeiting this brand (maybe not yet). It's sometimes hard to tell but...a friend of mine bought a fake N****F*** jacket and he was not really happy when he had to wear it on the mountains... :oops: :oops:
...regarding the price, if made locally, the difference could be normal if it's goods coming from the factory (defects, overproduction, samples...).

Ummmm...

Then the problem it's to know if the goods are copies or if they are original, and who are selling them, :? it's complicated , the price is atractive, but if you spent your last cents in a fake......

I think that I'll continue with my old gear, and I'll get some money for buy em with warranties here.

Thanks a lot eaglefly!! :wink:
