Aldi - Cycling Gear Restock

[milkmanchris]

Have also been to Aldi.

A bit disapointed with the jacket described as breathable. I almost passed out when I tried it on from the heat it retained when I was standing still!

Gotta agree with that

I bought my first lycra today, jacket and jersey, nice fit too although my 5'8 12 stone can hardly be described as x large anywhere else but Aldi in Selby

Also got some chilli coated peanuts v tasty and a cheap Chillian Shiraz that is going down very well thank you very much

I got a ladeez size large rain jacket, I'm taking it back as the sleeves were too short, and my t*ts are too small

Hi, I bought 2 pair of socks, a pair of waterproof overtrousers and a pair of gloves, all seem a nice fit as well, I also went to our local lidle bought a couple af alloy drinking bottles and a lightset combined with computer for the full susp bike.

I got the winter jacket in blue. I'm going to remove the Crane sports label and add some iron on Assos labels I got off ebay. It fits like a dream.

Also got some microwaveable tapas. 1 min and they're absolutely gorgeous. going down well with the cheapo Steinhauser pils.

On the downside, the waterproof fluoro jacket seemed to be very waterproof. From the inside as well as the outside.

I felt the material it was made out of and put it straight back - way too sweaty

The training jacket is the bargain of this year for me though - really practical for the morning commute. Good idea with the labels, I should have bought a black jacket, some rapha labels, and made up a poncy back story for the garment...

Anyone know if the ladies' winter cycling trousers are a different cut from the men's? The local Aldi had messed up the labels and the same set of trousers had two different labels one indicating womenswear the other mens.

I just picked up a pair of padded cycling trousers and a set of the winter gloves. The padding will take a little while to get used to but they do feel very comfortable. The gloves are not the greatest fit but will certainly do the job. For £13.98 I really can't complain :-)

I would have thought so, especially around the hip and groin area. The sizing on mine is printed inside the left leg (on the outside wall) about 6 inches down.

i bought two pairs of bib trousers, two winter cycling tops, winter jacket top, fluo jacket, hat and overshoes and gloves all for about the same price as two summer tops with a fancy make. have used most of it and apart from the jacket being a bit non breathable it is great.
