I've used Aldi products before and they aren't too bad especially at these prices

I'm pretty sure that none of the lights are legal for road use on their own.

I bought two pairs of gloves in the offer this time last year. Stitching has failed on both.

The GT85 looks a fairly good price, though!

The quality can be inconsistent - the bib shorts I bought in one of their summer events were dreadful - otoh, I have a winter training jacket from them that has been excellent, and the track pump I bought for the office (3 of us ride in, so we share it between us) must be five years old and still going strong.

And neither are about 95% of lights we use on bikes.

Jackets and socks are OK. Winter bibs were OK for cold commutes.

The COB LED lights are good for being seen (any make). At least with Aldi ones you can take them back if they fail within 3 years.

Compared to named brands, the prices are great. Yes, they won't last as long, but you can buy 5 Aldi jackets for the price of some branded jackets. If they last half as long, then it works out a bargain.

The £10 ones in the last Lidl special were. There's no need to be a dangerous scofflaw.

£5.99 for a merino hat, with free delivery, works for me!

I might buy one of these https://www.aldi.co.uk/men's-merino-sports-midlayer/p/070969059935400 if i can find one after the stuff has been rummaged through(Aldi is like a jumble sale). I'm into merino stuff at the moment. Not just for cycling but general leisure wear as well.

What's this turbo like? Have they had it out before or is a rebadged version of someone else's?

Confused. Will most of the items only be available online?

I don't know,but i'm going to order that merino midlayer online (free p&p) to save me the hassle of rummaging for my size instore. If it's not suitable when it arrives i'll take it back to the local Aldi (half a mile away) and get a refund.

If you want to be sure of getting the stuff you can buy it online.

If you want to inspect it first you can do so in the stores, and buy online if you can't get your size. Also, it is worth noting that in the weeks after the event, a lot of the stuff is usually sold for less. I picked up some of the "pro" winter bib tights last year for under £20 which did me very well. But again you're taking your chances on availability.
