What came first, the chicken or the stingray hide (sportbike glove topic)

They are in Pakistan, not China and I thought everyone has been spammed by Pakistan Motorcycle suit manufacturers. I assume there are a few there, because if you check e-bay there are adds on there for custom suits from Pakistan as well.

i suspect in this case both heroic and velocity are produced at the same plant in pakistan as some held gloves are

lol to the response - Use them while typing on GTAM ;)

You are not fast enough for those gloves!!


Edit:
It seems then that I will continue to purchase from Velocity since the OP is not even able to answer his own question

Holy ****. Well i guess i got the answer to my question. I think i've heard of ballistik but never seen that glove, the rest of them i've never heard of being UK brands and i've spent a lot of time researching gear over the past few years. The impression i got was that heroic came out with the glove first as their design (something along the lines of todd designing the template and the factory making it), and then Jimmy getting his hands on the heroic template, making slight alterations and calling it his own. It appears that the factory must own the design for this glove (the most obvious similarities being the break in the back of the hand and the slider design) and allows companies to start with the base template and make their own changes, as yes all of those gloves clearly start from the same place, and just end up slightly different.

Thanks for clearing that up. I'll edit my first post so anyone who researches this in the future can skip ahead to this page.
 
Thanks Friendly Foe. One thing I always focus on when running my business besides the product being high quality is customer service and strong business ethics. I'm sure I've made mistakes but I always try to find solutions. Hopefully we'll you see you at our office looking to buy some gear. Thanks.
