Some manufacturers do list directly on Amazon. If it's a huge discount I've done this but double check the seller. In general, I'll just use backcountry.com or REI though since I don't have to worry about a fake.
- vict00ms 7y agoDue to Amazon's co-mingling of products, even if you buy from a reputable seller you might still get a counterfeit.
- fjp 7y agoI ended up buying a pair of replacement snowboarding liner gloves from BackCountry after several Amazon reviews mentioned "sudden decreased quality from the last time I ordered". I doubted Burton quality had suddenly dropped off a cliff, so I suspected the listing was now pointing toward a counterfeit product. I ordered from BackCountry and loved the gloves just as much as I always had. I don't know if the Amazon listing had truly been hijacked by a counterfeit, but I'm glad I didn't risk it and I tend to try to go to other sites first now.
