Is this cycle clothing worth looking at or should I spend money I can not really afford on the clothing I see for sale in my bike shop?

If anything like last year the gloves are incredibly warm. The arm and leg warmers are good vfm too. Shame they are not doing the bib longs again.

 

[Melonfish]

Actually some of that looks pretty good
i'll be grabbing a fair bit methinks.

Anything that isn't zipped, is usually good.

Their zips are prone to failure.

I have a yellow and black top I bought years ago, must have been one of Aldi's first cycle day when they started in this country. I wear it a lot, and the colours are still as bright as the day I bought it.

The quality is not half as good as that in the lbs but it costs 5 times less and does the job imo, you pays your money takes your choices

They have switched to YKK zips in the last year - just check the garments

IMO aldi cycling attire is alot better than the lidl stuff. I've got long sleeve jerseys in there third autumn/ winter this year. There used every week and I'm still using them. The earlier crane stuff they sold was a better quality than the new stuff, but it's still great for the money.

It's not 100%quality but then it's a fraction of the price. I bought a pair of bib longs they lasted me a winter for £12, I doubt a £60 pair of bike shop ones would last 5 years.

I'm going to try the overshoes and get a pannier rack - all the other goodies - I will have to resist - but for the price this stuff is fantastic

The shoes are only available in sizes 8-10

Well touch wood, I've only had one zip failure (but I know that is not universal experience) perhaps that was behind the switch to ykk last year.

Perfect for me

Thank you. I will have to see what time is available to me and if my Wife will let me spend any money.
