Since outdoor jackets, such as those used for hiking, have become more like fashion clothing, there have been growing numbers of fakes of the big names, such as North Face. There’s money to be made from counterfeits, and the fakes tend to be cheap compared to the very high price tag – often well over £100 – of authentic merchandise.   If people can buy something that seems real for £20-30 instead of paying that high price, obviously there’s going to be a demand.

Thought I should put a warning out to anyone thinking of scoring a good deal on eBay. I recently bought a set of TaylorMade CGB Max irons and a CGB 3-wood on eBay from different sellers.
