Any reports back yet on the leg and arm warmers ?

I bought a set last year and they're excellent, warm and toasty with a microfleece inner surface.

Is the softshell thinnish or like wearing a neoprene jacket ?

It's thin. Along the lines of the DHB winter jersey I bought.

No ventilated back on this one, which the hooded one does have. That would be useful if you carry a backpack though, hence me saving that one for MTB.

I haven't tried them yet, I'm just taking a punt really. There are some areas of my commute where I can't avoid heavy surface water when it's raining and my feet take a right soaking. I'm also hoping they'll keep a bit of the windchill off on the dry frosty days come winter.

Thanks, I might give them a go. Needing something to keep the old toes warm and dry!

Ahh sounds like it might be ok then. Will maybe pop along tonight and take a look. My last ones were great!

What size do you take? The options are small (size 6-8) or medium/large (size 8-10).

Popped in to Lidl and picked up a pair of bib tights, a long sleeved jersey, hoodless soft shell jacket and 2 pairs of socks (plus a bag of dried bananas). All for the price of a branded jersey at the LBS.

The soft shell jacket and bib tights seem to be excellent quality given the price and the jersey is fantastic, very soft and silky with a good snug fit. I'll be going back for another tomorrow.

All in all I'm a very happy bunny

I think I'll wait for the next one either from Lidl or Aldi. Nothing I fancy this time.

You're all doing this wrong! Surely the game is -
"I went to Lidl and bought
An apple
An apple and some bib shorts
An apple, some bib shorts and a cycling top
An apple, some bib shorts, a cycling top and . . . . ."

The socks look okay and the spoke reflectors are good, but I cba going to Lidl for those bits. The rest looks like the usual, same level of kit, at the same prices as you can buy year round in Decathlon.

 

[Linford]

No leg and arm warmers in my local shop

 

[Rob3rt]

Try Decathlon or Wiggles own brand, the same or greater quality, similarly priced (although Wiggle might cost a bit more). I have some dhb leg and arm warmers I bought last year, very good.

 

[Linford]

I'll try the other one in the town this evening, and if no joy, will look at them cheers

 

[gavroche]

Just went to Lidl to get some milk and got out with a pair of gloves as well. Must stick to my budget in future!

 

[Robeh]

Picked up the blue jersey and the bib tights.
The tights i got in medium and im 6ft and 14 stone and they fit really well,i nearly got the large one's.

 

[JoeyB]

Picked up some more socks and the bib tights. Went for large but now I'm worried after the comment above as those are my dimensions also (well, I'm a bit heavier lol)
