aldi - what did you get?

[Slioch]

I wore the merino top on a century ride yesterday with a gilet on top. During the afternoon when the sun was out and things warmed up I didn't overheat at all, and then in the evening when the temperature dropped I didn't get cold at all. This is the first merino top I've owned and have to say I was highly impressed.
I also didn't get any nipple-rub, which was nice.

Good luck, both shops besides me have sold a fair bit of the useful stuff. On the subject of lights though, my rear has lost the small rubber cover for the charging point Not a good start, hopefully not cause too much of an issue.

Wrapping the rear light in cling film will help protect the charging point

I wore my Aldi winter jersey for my early ride today. Pleased with it but...

I always hand wash my gear after a ride and the colour came out of the jersey very badly indeed - and this was with quite cool water. Be careful if you wash yours in a machine!

Bought a merino top too. First one like you and was sceptical. 2 days commuting in from temps of 6 to 17 and warm enough for just a normal short sleeve top and gilet ( at 6 deg).

Still not smelling, which is a first for me with 2 day old baselayers.

 

[Booyaa]

1 can of GT85 and a couple of weeks shopping.

Forgive me for being dim but a merino top is a thermal baselayer right? i've been thinking of getting something like that

Yep, pretty much - and not just for the coldest days either as it has great heat regulating properties

Went back and went with a medium mens compression top. Too short in the arms but fine in the body. Also got some of them tablets thingys.
