Also, with the goggles you may think it doesnt matter but if you get fake lenses you could be exposing your eyes directly to UV and causing substantial damage that you may not even be aware of until its too late. Or even worse they could allow roost to penetrate through and strike your eyes.
Dont know about goggles but I did take a chance on grips and will never buy them again.
As far as quality of stuff.
I bought some stuff that I use all the time and they work great and I have bought some stuff that is flat out cheap as hell and never worked at all!
The Shop
My concern would be shitty lens fitment and rocks and dirt getting into your eyes
Also, the whole sunglasses business is a scam and we are getting fooled.. search luxotica and mafia....

Its getting better and better. Used to take forever to deliver. Now its quick and they even have local stores setup for pick up.
You guys are actually worried about credit card hacks and poor quality and not human rights or the quality of life for the people who make them? How much do you think a worker gets paid per hour to make a 1$ pair of RayBan clones?
It's not rocket science figuring out the stuff that is so cheap is just garbage quality but I would never order from those places from the ethics of it alone.
Also, support local manufacturers so people stop ordering junk from these poor countries.
he said he got cheap. Brand new and *looked* like the real thing. Two rides later with NO falls and not getting
hit with anything other than Pala sand, the lens had a huge crack running top to bottom. Holy shit . . . imagine
if I had actually got hit by a rock?! Yikes!!!
I get hot women in latex! ::dunno::
Got a knock off pair of Yeezy 350’s for 11 bucks. I’ve also got some ASRV and Nike clothes super cheap.
You have to wade through the bullshit to find the stuff that is obviously the same shit, made in the same factory, but had a last run made with the logo changed or deleted. That stuff is high quality because it’s the same product you would get here in the Nike or Adidas store.
Safety related products and moto gear? No way.

It's disgusting that this is even a thread...
I’m a big fan of keeping my dollars local. However, that wasn’t my point. American or not, let’s give our dollars to the companies that are heavily investing in the moto scene, rather than letting those companies get blatantly ripped off.
If Nike and Adidas are going to sub their labor to China, then I have no hard feelings about going around them to buy their product without badging from the factory directly.
If anything, that IS American! If enough people go around these companies and buy direct from the shady manufacturer, then maybe the clothing companies will realize that they need to bring production back to the US where their product won’t be sold by the factory around them!?!?
I enjoy penalizing these companies for using shady 3rd world labor.
