why is their smallest size 'medium'? 😡

I like their strapless long sleeve mits

Looks interesting - might try to grab some stuff

do wonder why the Men's rain jacket is black - I don;t want to victim blame but wouldn't a brighter colour be sensible??

guessing by the number of cyclists who dress like a lemon and still get a SMIDSY, it probably doesn't make any difference.

GT85 and that is it really, ALDI doesn't really appeal for cycling stuff these days.

Might be related to Friday's news?

I think their baselayers are fine, so will pickup cycling pants for short leisure trips.

Protect and Shine - always grab some of that and GT85. Protect and shine is great on the MTB - lubes the suspension stanchions and makes cleaning easier when applied on the frame.

There are a dozen or so products on current list that are delayed in arrival, follow the link on their website

I've always wondered that. I got a jersey a couple of years ago, and medium was just the right size of too big, maybe something to do with average German sizes? Having said that, half the guys in our Frankfurt office are shorter than me, and I'm only 1.67m.

But it all comes direct from China... to Aldi UK Ltd. And I'm sure there's skinny feckers like me in Germany

I know, that was partly my point. The sizing means that I hardly ever get any of the clothing items, as the medium tends to be just too big.

why not just try them on in the shop? granted, shorts may be an issue but the rest i reckon you could get away with
