sports glasses lidl

[amnesia]

Got some on the way home... for under £4 you can't really go wrong - I paid more than that for the soft case for my old shades :-/

Also picked up one of these http://www.lidl.co.uk/uk/home.nsf/pages/c.o.20091105.p.Thermal_Long-sleeved_Sports_Top.ar6 Don't know if it's actually any use, but it feels good.

Andy, I would have done, but our Lidl is not local to me, but I am sure that someone on here would take you up on that, they are a nice bunch

I bought a pair yesterday, very pleased with them, albeit not tested them on my bike yet.

£3.49 - Glasses ( and another £15.00 in there for odds and ends)

£40.00 - lunch

£60.00 - next door for new bedding ( Dunelm Mill)

So I really saved money didn't I

oh and petrol as we don't have a Lidl in Dunfermline

But seriously, they are very nice

Bleedin' 'ell, Jane, what did you have? A cheese sandwich and a bottle of Chateau Latour?

There were two of us, hubby came too

And for the first time in alot of years, I had a three course lunch, so I have to burn it off today with my CC pals

I've got a pair that are several years old...

I'm sure you have and that they suit your purposes. That wasn't my point though. What I said was...

they'll not be all things to all people

There are occasions when cheap and cheerful does the job, and some of the Aldi/Lidl stuff can fall neatly into that category. Depends on how you use it and what you expect, and compromise of course.

Lidl specs will not be in the same league as Oakleys, nobody expects them to be (I hope!) BUT they may do for many people's purposes. And, considering the price difference, it's worth finding out. So, as I also said,

at that price, worth a punt

For what it's worth, I use cheap specs (not Aldi/Lidl though) mainly because I'm forever loosing or breaking them. But it's a trade off. They're not a patch on the Oakleys I lost...

[jig-sore]

just been and got a pair (black frames). good for the money B)

 

[ian turner]

You mean I didn't have to buy them in pink frames
They seem good enough though the pbk irons that were only £13 at the time are better quality

Yello, what you also said was.. (with my bold)

"Just keep in mind that you get what you pay for... unless you steal them, in which case you get what you don't pay for, not that I'm not suggesting theft, that'd be illegal...

ANYway...at that price, worth a punt, but they'll not be all things to all people so be prepared to waste a massive £3.49 of your hard earned. You could well be binning them after 1 ride! "

I was merely pointing out that they are not as bad as you were clearly inferring, by suggesting they may only last one ride.

 

[yello]

I was merely pointing out that they are not as bad as you were clearly inferring, by suggesting they may only last one ride.

I was inferring no such thing! My point was that an individual may very quickly decide that they are no good for them, as equally you have decided that they work for you. If "they'll not be all things to all people" does not mean that thay I shall revise my usage of the English language!

They're cheap and you get what you pay for. If you don't agree that they're not going to be in the same league as Oakley's then we can stop this conversation right now!

never bought any from lidl but aldi do similar for around the same price and are spot on.. why pay 40-100 quid more just for a logo, they do the job and if u get the right batch stylish too

in what way are they not a patch on oakleys ?

Perhaps you can point out exactly where I said they were in the same league as Oakleys? I was merely responding to your quite clear, and in your own words, "You could well be binning them after 1 ride!", by stating I had a pair that have lasted several years.

The build quality is not as good as Oakleys. But neither are they as bad as Yello has clearly stated.
