Cheap immitation safari snorkels

What do you guys think of these?

DEFENDER SNORKEL - WILL FIT 300TDI & TD5 LAND ROVER on eBay (end time 12-Dec-10 20:50:54 GMT)

Seem a lot cheaper than the safari branded ones. Are they the same thing? Are they any good?

Ive read in the past that the cheaper non branded ebay snorkles are made from an inferior quality plastic. I have a Safari snorkle but havent fitted it yet. I think Safari or Mantec is the way forward.

I have a Safari and the plastic comes with a 20 year guarantee. That one will just be destroyed by UV fairly quickly.

my safari has supported the weight of my 110 on it, when tipped on a side slope it had scratches on it but was ok, i dont think the cheaper ones will withstand that sort of punishment

that looks like the same plastic as my wheelie bin........

The cheap one's do look very shiny and brittle.

hey;re rubbish. Made from the same thin plastic as dustbins used to be. Not the tough thick ABS that mantec or safari ones are made from. You gets what you pays for!
