These are £9.99 at Aldi on Thursday

Got to say - bought two of these sets (as well as tops and pants) and wore the base layer shorts all day yesterday whole drivong to Carlisle (wife was running half marathon) then I cycled around for an hour and a half - then drove home.

They were EXCELLENT
No ride up
Kept the "bits" in place
Very comfortable

Very much recommended.

By the way, the Carlisle Aldi still had loadsa stock!

As an underlayer, I wear a cheapo T shirt. There were some at Tesco a couple of years ago, and I'm still using them.
Over, I have an Altura full zip, long sleeve, fleece with two rear pockets. In fact, I bought another cus the first was so good.
This kit is for sortes in less than 8 Deg C. Above 8, I wear a S/S normal everyday road jersey.

To make the decision on long pants, it is a three way equation of 1/ Ambient temperature, 2/ Wind speed and 3/ Duration of the ride.
Why so technical? The thin layer of skin on the Tibia can easily suffer frostbite.
There is some well worth info on the Canadian National Weather Survey website.

And as for Aston Villa football shirts, I was given one once, so I use it to clean the garage floor.
