So if no one has noticed, there are a fair number of this year's Oakley jackets on Ebay. They definitely look legit, but then the descriptions and where they are coming from seem pretty sketchy. For example:
http://cgi.ebay.com/BNWT-Mens-Oakley-Cohort-Ski-Snowboard-jkt-size-large_W0QQitemZ8729800560QQcategoryZ21235QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Quite the nice jacket. But, in the description is says the jacket has 6,000 mm waterproofing. If the seller indeed had the genuine product with the tags still attached, couldnt he just read it to see that it is less than that?
However, if all the stuff is fake (which I am guessing it is, but not sure) then someone is doing a fantasticly great job of making look-alike stuff. So I am still unsure. Can anyone true Oakley Rep settle this matter? Thank you.

exactly why it's a 10 day listing.

wait till there is 2 days left till the end of the acution and i bet the price will be WAY higher.

and 309 feedbacks all 100% is pretty damn good. If it was fake someone would notice.
espically out of 300+ people.

nobody bids until the last ten minutes.
They wouldn't fake a cheaper jacket the margin is too slim. Besides you can go to china and buy any Spyder or North Face jacket for $15-40 at the factory and they're real and sell for $300-900 here.

^skimaster, this is probably true. But there are some very expensive jackets on there as well, the cohort was just an example.

JB, as for you, yes, they didnt have a lifestyle puffy with no hood back in the day and it was pretty nice. Cant remember what it was called though

^whats the real waterproof rating, how far off is he? It could be a lazy posting error. But he does seem to be going way out of his way to convince you it's real. Why even say all our items are genuine? That isn't a very widely used word on ebay, "genuine" it's like saying by the way they aren't fake. Is it necessary to say that if it is truly real? The other thing you should take into consideration though is that the guy is British so really all bets are off bro he could just talk funny.

look at all the other items the seller has for sale, he's obviously got a hook up on some oakley gear.

this thread is stupid.

careful there, I wasn't knocking his thread, Capt Dishonest. I merely said I thought it was sketchy. I don't get you dude. You seem nice and ordinary on here...ugh.
