Hmmm, some of those $280 suits look a lot like some old AGV leathers I remember. The $600 Dainese was a shock too. I don't know man... the prices seem a little too good to be true, but maybe. I'd call them, ask some questions before buying though. See if these are irregulars or something. Must be some reason the suits are so cheap. I don't know if I've ever even seen Dainese on clearance before :-) Good luck!

A guy I work with thinks that they are so cheap because they might be reproductions made in korea or something like that. He doesn't think they are genuine.

In my experience with by reproductions from korea, I have gound that they are usually of the same quality and made the exact same way. So, I figure that if they are made the same who cares if they are originals or not. Plus, it is worth a shot.

Wow, eagle eyes! But, IMHO, they still kind of gloss over it which kinda bugs me. I like folks who are straight forward that you don't have to go looking in the details to find the truth. But, if the quality is good, go for it. I just wouldn't count on too much customer service. Good luck and let us know how it works out!
