Whether you’re shopping online or in stores, everyone wants to know that the products they are buying will live up to the manufacturer’s descriptions. Unfortunately, many overseas companies copy products and claim that theirs are authentic, when in reality they are not. The number of websites and products for sale online makes it impossible for companies to regulate counterfeit imposters, and unfortunately, many consumers fall prey to these false sellers.

The good news for you though, is that Macho has a Certified Resellers Program. When you shop for Macho Sparring Gear, look for the certified reseller logo or check the Macho Certified Reseller Listing. This will tell you if the products being shown are truly Macho products or just a cheap reproduction. Don’t trust your head or your gear to just anyone. Trust Macho!

Keep reading for 3 reasons why you should buy from a certified reseller. 

1. If your gear comes from anyone other than a Certified Reseller you are putting the wearer’s safety at risk – be it your own, a child’s, or a friend’s. Certified Resellers buy from Macho directly, and since Macho’s number one goal is to keep the martial art community safe, you can be sure that all of our gear lives up to our strict safety standards.

2. When you buy direct from a Certified Reseller you are buying authenticated Macho gear. This means you are receiving gear that has been rigorously tested for trauma protection. No other manufacturer tests their sparring gear. You can trust Macho Gear to keep you safe.

3. Macho gear is made in a factory that exclusively manufactures Macho products. The factory is ISO certified and meets Macho’s rigorous standards. This means there are no other brands out there that match Macho’s gear.
