Sherpa Snorkel? (1 Viewer)

[CruisinEveryDay]

Is anyone running or has heard of the Sherpa FJ80 Snorkel? Its 200$ with a 36 month warranty... Looks to be an Australian company. Part of me thinks its the Chinese Safari Snorkel listed under a different name (pure speculation because of the cheaper price)...
Let me know any experience you have guys. Thanks.

Here is all the info I could dig up:
Their web site: http://www.sherpa4x4.com.au/

For some reason I cannot find the 80 snorkel on the site, however I did find it on amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GIR3Y4I/?tag=ihco-20

Let me know what you think guys.
I did a search and nothing came up.

They're buying Chinese made items and reselling it.

How do you know? Is that what Sherpa 4x4 does for all their products?

Just buy the one from amazon for $88.00 like I did and most others have, you can send me the other $112.00 if that makes you feel better.

Look at all their inventory, it's all no-name brands that are copies of popular items (snorkels are safari knockoffs, winches are Ramsey/warn copies). The owner is clearly using Alibaba/ChinaMark as his ultimate source of goods...

That's what I suspected. To bad...

Nothing wrong with the cheap snorkels. The templates can be a little sketchy but the snorkels themselves are fine.
