My bet is that a lot of stuff on 'zon comes from aliexpress sellers. I have a 'Baleaf' wind jacket with zip-on arms from 'zon. It's pretty well made. Sewing looks good, no loose threads, self-healing zippers, fits me well enough. Still looks like it did after my 1st ride - stained because it was on my rearrack, and it rubbed against the tire for 15 miles. I'm happy after a couple of years of use.

This is a typical online review, utterly useless. I don't get the need for people to review a product they took out of a box? Maybe it is just me but when I review a product I will have used it for an extended time period. Quick shipping doesn't matter most things these days ship quickly and even still it has no bearing on the product. "The product shipped super fast but it gave me the plague 3 stars"

It really clouds the field when people cannot actually review the product honestly and realistically. If you haven't used it that is fine hold off the review for a while till you get to use it for a good period of time and put it through some paces. Don't mention anything that isn't directly related to the actual product and it will make for an actual sensible review.
Agree. I'd also like reviewers to have wide and deep knowledge of the stuff they review. Few Internet reviewers qualify.
