Think you'll find most garments with the 'merino' tag are (varying) percentage blends thereof, and one needs to assess each item with that information clearly in mind. That said, a blend is probably more functional than 100%, but when it's only +<30% merino you're in the realm of: "let's stuff a bit in and then we can call it 'merino' " territory.

Not had any clothing from Aldi before, for the price sounds like it's worth a try see how I get on

I bought one of their Merino tops a couple of years ago. It was OK, but quite a bit shorter than other more expensive tops I own. I am 6ft 2" and it was really a couple of inches too short for me. I find Decathlon's Merino/other fabric mix better value and they have a decent body length.

I bought one of the Aldi merino jerseys but didn't pay much attention to the wash care. It's now full of holes after being in the washing machine numerous times.
I have a DHB merino blend base layer and this can be thrown in a washing machine no problem. The. Garment has enough merino in it to still benefit from the no smell and wicking properties.

One of their previous winter jackets with the zip-off arms is my primary commuting top layer, been really good.
Might look at the merino jersey and the rear camera/light thing this time.

Hmmm. That front light has an uncanny resemblance to the Lezyne front lights. :-)

About time they did a small size , the smallest they stock in tops is a 38-40, which fits a 40 which in my book is large.Ok for commuting in winter but too flappy for anything else.

I had some regular bib shorts which ran for 2 years commuting and other duties before the stitching gave out. Mothballed for the winter, though. Intend buying a pair of the winter long bibs next week. I have an older pair from Aldi which are about 2 years old, with a windproof coating on the top which do very well.
Items are available to pre-order. I have gone for the camera light at: https://www.aldi.co.uk/camera-and-bike-light/p/079004160072600 I hope it has loop recording when the card fills up..

MY EYES! MY EYES! The front/rear light set is rather bright.
Also got the helmet light and the £2.99 rear light, plus socks, a base layer, and a jersey. There were only three of us picking through the baskets at 9 a.m., but one guy had already overloaded his basket, and was still trying stuff on when I checked out.
