Has anyone ever used ali express?

Ali's rival is DHGate. I got plenty of my bike gears through them (incl my LS2 flipup helmet), but be warned: Some of their "leather" is fake leather.

Ahh I remember you telling me about that. What model was yours? I paid a bit more than you from memory but whites seem to cost more for some reason damnit.

Yeah looks like there is plenty of fake leather on AlieXpress too. Some really awesome looking jackets that have unreal prices...just doesn't quite add up. Mind you if you stick to the bigger sellers on there who knows, could be legit.

I believe I paid about $200 NZD for mine a couple of years ago, so what you got is a pretty good deal. The model was LS2 386 or something (can't remember top of my head, no pun intended).

Yes, as much as there are bogus sellers there are also genuine sellers too. AliExpress and DHGate are like Trademe of China. All of their products roll off from the same factory/ distributor. Mind you, some of the products they have are rolled off from genuine brand factories e.g. Joe Rocket, LS2, Dainese, Alpinestars, Harley Davidson appearel and some others. Products that are sold on AliExp and DHGate are either discontinued products, quality test failures (stitching, size, and/or minor check), overnight productions, cancelled orders, overstock, surplus etc.

You buy at your own risk, but so far from what I've got they are all excellent.
