Hi, whats the verdict on these? They look pretty legit comparing them to the real ones.

The price is very iffy though.

Could be genuine, even if not totally legit.

they're bloody nice in black though either way... if i didn't already have about 40 pairs of shorts and no space, i'd jump on these.

they could be made on the same machines, by the same staff in the same factory and still not be 'genuine'.

Wouldn't that make them genuine, just not legit?

I'd say stuff's only genuine if it's been official at least at some point in its life. Otherwise it's just an indistinguishable fake.

Isn't putting the word "fashion" in front of an item Chinese code for "counterfeit copy of"?

I've got a set of these, seem pretty decent to me.

The buttons on the pockets have come off (they have zips too so nothing can fall out), and I think the logo fell off (shoo-gooed back on), but no biggie, especially for the price. Not sure how quality compares to "real" ones.

Would happily buy again.

I've been unfortunate enough to buy some of these, the first set I got seemed like very good copies so I ordered another pair, in the time waiting for the second pair to arrive the first pair literally started falling apart at the seams! The second set arrived and were a totally different material than the first pair and after the first ride the zip failed. I chalked it down as an expensive and stupid lesson.

good and delivery was pretty quick

Prefer my possibly 'fashion' versions to the real CRC ones, nice heavyweight fabric.

So the verdict is, they are fake but still good quality/worth the money?

Yep they're fakes, I've got the white ones. Decent quality though. Can't compare to the real TLD but they've not got hip pads if that matters. Would buy again but they are only a month/ 6 rides old.

iv'e already ordered 2 more pairs

I guess time will tell how good they REALLY are, how durable the stitching is etc.

I have a pair of the legit ones and the glued logo fell off, albeit after a year or so of hard riding.

How do these size up? Normally I'm a S in Endura etc, about a 30 waist. Any suggestions whether I should get the 30 or the 32?

These are genuine TWOY LEE shorts, I have a few pairs, alreet for brass but they have a cheaper feel to em, and zips aren't as good.
