If it Seems Too Good to be True...

Post by MellowYellow »

In FB world there are 2 (or more) sites offering Knox Handroid gloves at £25 with free postage.

Elsewhere they are £199 (special offer) to £240.

Chance it ???????

They look like blatant fake copies too me.

I've put the pic from the Knox site side-by-side with this one and they seem identical down to the last stitch except that the '® KNOX' lettering is missing.

I reckon the pic has to be genuine (copied from the Knox site) but probably not what you get.

The pic is the Mk 3 and there is a quite new Mk 4. They're £ 160 though anyway.

I'm pretty convinced they're Knox copies with testimonials lifted from that site. The gloves look convincingly enough made, and the company checks out . . . . . ish. So if you want to emulate RoboCop's digits for 30 quid it's maybe worth a punt. Personally I'd rather risk Lidl's or Aldi's SYDKYN aisle.

I just tried looking at the properties / elements of the vid on the offer site.

Towards the end it switches from english and code to chinese symbols.
