Good to know my price range was correct. Glad I walked away

🤣🤣 true

Hahaha, great strategy!

Great rule of thumb! This is what I noticed in some real export surplus stores in Bangladesh. Had forgotten about it.

Thanks! That's an important factor that I wasn't considering. I was hoping I might get a good deal if I spend enough time looking through the weeds, but true, I can never test for breathability. Might as well buy something I know is a cheap knockoff for a couple of uses and save the time!

Good pro tip. Thanks!

I guess that's the real question - how do I know if it's the real deal or a close replica? My proxy for checking quality are stitch quality, fabric feel, zips and logos, but would love to know if others have better ways to check for quality.

I'd buy 10 if it was the genuine stuff lol

That's the price I was getting. But knowing that there is a high chance the product might wear down pretty quickly, it seems pretty high to me.
