Buying kit off Amazon/ Ebay/ et al...

OK, this is a long video, but it does demonstrate a good reason to steer clear of such places.
Don't forget that buying off Amazon, etc is just as difficult as buying from a reputable on line store.
Or even better support your local shop and talk to real people.

There was a guy I knew who closed his motorcycle clothing/accessories shop down because people were just using it as a dressing room and blatantly ordering stuff they'd just tried-on on-line while still in the shop!

There was a mesh jacket & trousers on Amazon's daily deal the other day which said in the description "wax coating for waterproofing and to reduce drag abrasion" or something to that effect :o

Greetings,

Everybody knows the cost but few are prepared to pay for the quality.

TTFN
