    Would you ever buy knockoff gear?! 🤔

    It actually isn't knockoff. Usually in China employees at the official factories sometimes take home/steal the products that did not pass quality inspection and sell them themselves as "knockoff" to make extra money. I used to live and play hockey in Shanghai and these "knockoffs" were extremely popular there as they are basically the real thing.

      That and the "official" factories sub out over production and the sub contractors make extra in case there's a QC issue so they end up with extra stock , sometimes they are shipping out the back door during the production run as well , I bought touchless faucets that are the same units a major company in North America sells for $200+ with their name etched on them for 13 bucks a piece with no name on them , the shipping was twice the price of the units but I sold them for between $80 and $110 each so I still did alright on 50 units lol .

      Same thing in Bangladesh. I don't know if that's still the case, though. However, back back in 2009 I met a Bangladesh guy who was dressed with super expensive brands from head to toe. Turns out he bought all his clothes directly from the factories that made them. People would take all the things that were rejected and sold it across the factories for pennies (in comparison to the "real" price). I got a lot of Armani clothes for close to nothing. lol

      It happens a lot that in the factory’s making the real things workers take stuff home and sell it as “knockoffs”

    @Roymond Před 2 lety +170

    There's no way I'd be rocking that Mylec helmet out on the ice. Other than that the stick and gloves look legit

    • @sachads5322
      @sachads5322 Před rokem +2

      It’s not a helmet. It’s a hat.
      He’s basically playing hockey in a toy John Olerud helmet from a cereal box.

  • @platapus112
    @platapus112 Před 2 lety +57

    Fun fact, those advs and other sticks aren't knock offs, they are the real blanks

  • @brendan9868
    @brendan9868 Před 2 lety +90

    I think the stick and gloves might actually be legit, it’s not uncommon for stuff to go “missing” in the factory then magically appear online for sale. So yeah good deal on those honestly.
    That helmet is a death trap tho, looks like it would just shatter at the slightest contact.

    • @raimarulightning
      @raimarulightning Před 2 lety +1

      I'm pretty sure it's a cricket batters helmet, so it's definitely not made for the kinds of collisions in hockey, lmao

  • @m.johnmorency4230

    You should of just do a slap shot contest with a real and a knockoff stick and, do a deke (I’m not sure if that’s the right way to say it) contest (the kind you see at the all star game) to test the gloves and the stick. The game test should of been the last test. Great content guys. Keep it up.

  • @Waty8413
    @Waty8413 Před 2 lety

    It's not necessarily fake. In fact, it's quite likely real, just "gray market" or factory seconds/blemished. Any Joe Schmoe who is motivated enough can get in touch with sellers from Asia who will get you literally any gear you want. A friend of mine bought a pile of Bauer and Easton sticks for a fraction of the retail price. The Bauers had the serial number strip on the insides of the shaft. We actually called Bauer and asked if the stick was under warranty, providing the serial code and not telling them where we got it. They said yes.
    Of course fakes are a possibility, as this is true of the golf club industry. A low end stick can easily be dressed up to look like a top of a line stick. However, in the case of that Bauer Sling, it's probably unlikely.
