They're obviously getting the message too, putting the Haribo on offer too when the cyclists are in.
Good shout
Those geezers in the winter pants are a bit suspect
Nice flowers though
Excellent news, the gloves are brilliant. Way better than my Sealskinz ones. Ripped the tip off a pinkie the other week so this is ideal!
Missed out on the overshoes last year, so need to get in quick this year.
The gloves are brilliant for the price. I've got 3 pairs from previous years (I stocked up in preparation for the Strathpuffer). Not the most breathable, and the membrane separates if you wash them in the washing machine (I just rinse them by hand now), but warm, waterproof and fantastic value.
The jackets and tights are great as well as workhorse winter kit get some if you ride daily/regularly as it means you'll always have a dry, clean set to put on.
I might get a softshell, i got one last year and have worn it loads and the zip has gone a bit dodgy.
Of the other Aldi stuff i've tried - the zip on the overshoes broke in about two weeks and i thought the gloves were nowhere near as warm as my decent Pearl Izumi ones.
... but how much were the Pearl Izumi ones? For the price they're fab, IMO.
They were six times the price. And worth every penny - cold hands are horrible. Don't get me wrong though, some of the Aldi kit is alright.
Someone mention cheap haribo?
Also in the pic for Winter Cycling Trousers - what is the model on right wearing on feet? Cycling Uggs?! have i been missing out?
Black Jacks and Fruit Salad!
(I might get some socks while Im stocking up)
Can anyone tell me if the soft shell is windproof?
I would imagine so. On a side note why would you buy aldi winter trouser for £12.99 when Ron hill bikesters are £10 at wiggle???
It's too "posh" where I live for an Aldi 🙁
Yup, the gloves are great.
