Hit the aldi specials laxt night.

Got my size 12s into the neoprene shoe covers. Seem well made.
winter mens tights are just that but feel great.
i avoided n+1 syndrome on the lights

I bought the Aldi winter gloves, merino snood and winter tights.

Wore the tights and as per above post, they are tight. Maybe size up would be wise. I also found the pad was too front biased. Hopefully they'll loosen up a bit.

I looked at the winter jersey but the pockets were too small for all my bits and pieces.

I was in my Aldi today. No merino tops in my size or I would have got another. Picked up some muc off and wet lube for 1.99 each, so happy with that.

Planet X are bulk selling some of their items, for instance: Phaart Beep Dual Lights Trade Pack - 10 lights is £19.99 + p&p, which works out at about £2.40 each.

At this price there's no excuse not to be seen on the dark winter nights!

I see the Carnac Notus Helmet is on sale at Planet X aswell at £23.95 with delivery. Is that a genuine bargain?
Don't wear a helmet but will need one for a sprint triathlon I am doing next April.
Is this helmet worth a punt for my peanut sized head?

Only buy a helmet online if there are free returns. Don't think PX do, costs around £6 to return a helmet due to box size. Also check that you can even do so. It's not a bargain if it's no good and it costs to return

If not bothered about covering off all the safety specs, just buy something cheap locally from Asda or Lidl where you can try on. There's nothing worse than a helmet that doesn't fit!

And if you are bothered about meeting any safety standard, why trust a helmet that's been shipped with Unexpected Package Squishers, blown up by TNT or so on?

Hi Vickster ,
PX don't offer free returns , you're right . I was just going to take a chance to be honest as it really did look like a bargain . Thought I could even sell it on Ebay if it didn't fit but will probably give it a miss now and see what comes along in the next few months.....
