    Rev'it Sand 4 Gloves sale

    Not entirely sure it's a valid comparison . there are still Mac hardware deals that are highly discounted so I'd not rely on that for discriminating authenticity. And there are no "knock off" Apple Macs, Watches or iPhones afaik that would fool anyone tho I suspect there may be a thriving knock...

    Rev'it Sand 4 Gloves sale

    Having sold 10s of millions $ of Macs over nearly 40 years I was quite pleased when our "partner" OWC started carrying new discontinued Macs with Apple's blessing. Apple finally settled on a strategy of choosing one retailer who could move volume though I think that has expanded for NOS to some...

    Rev'it Sand 4 Gloves sale

    Only thing I can say is he bought the wrong size as the fit at the wrist is very comfie and lots of adjustment space Not sure about "plastic"....I expect the knuckles to be stiff. Some sort of thermo-plastic I always buy a size up these are 2XL Even if knock off....big step up from the $10...

    Rev'it Sand 4 Gloves sale

    If the Sand 4 were not discontinued - I might agree with you - but they are so there is every reason to see the discontinued model being offered, We'll see how they hold up - as noted what I got and what Fort Nine are selling appear identical and the retail packaging flawless. Even IF a...

    Rev'it Sand 4 Gloves sale

    They are the real thing. The Rev 4 Sands have been discontinued for the Rev 5 now announced. I just got them today so no feed back as yet on cooling. Feel very well protected compared to my old gloves which were not motorcycle level protection. I'd been admiring the gloves on Itchy Boots rides...

    Riding buddy is over there and bumped into one of the legends in the paddock on a scoot. This is how close they were - note buddies boot on the verge. Was tempted to buy the coverage here in Australia but $50 I don't have. :( https://ttplus-checkout.iomttraces.com/buy/pay

    Thanks Reminder of mortality?? ;) My daughter called me "diminished" - I had to agree. Wag intensive care nurse said she's never seen so many leads stuck on anyone. :eek: I now have significantly less chest hair ....which was sparse anyways but I think my face catches the battle to stay alive...

    They know the bug but sepsis seems different than "catching a cold"....it's just a catastrophic failure that can impact everything. I had no idea. Mine is likely urinary tract related as apparently most are, but I was having other treatments ( tooth extraction 0
