Yeah, that's right. I was a little confused as to why the cycling trousers were in chest sizing.... ;p

I ended up buying the light set.I put some charged Eneloops in and on low they are good for 8 hours continuous.They also have a red 'battery low' built into the rubber on button.

Anybody who looked at those gloves and expected them to be in anyway water resistant needs their eyes checking! Lol.
I bought a pair anyway, reckon they will be quite windproof!

Just checked mine under a tap. I even allowed for non waterproof cuffs and they are indeed useless.Mine are certainly going back.

Our track pump fell to bits upon first use. Very gentle with the lever thing and it just snapped off. We are in the wilds of the West Coast of Argyle & Bute and nowhere near a Lidl until Sunday, they are unlikely to still have any left. Will go back with our receipt anyway.

I popped into my local Lidl today and they didn't have the suits or bib shorts but did have the jerseys and trousers. I decided against the clothing but picked up a pump as they had plenty and for £5.99 can't complain, looks like it'll do the job for now. No idea what pressure my tyres require though lol only had the bike 6 weeks and it just had its first service however I forgot to ask while there last week.

You should be able to see the indicative tyre pressures moulded into the side of the tyres.
Went in yesterday to see if they had restocked the bib trousers (only had xxxxxxl left on monday). Yes they had my size. Great checked out the size of the padding and decided that sitting on the equivalent of a body form thingy ma bobby wouldn't really be very comfortable for the longer rides. I don't own any bib leggings and I just assumed that they would be a step up in comfort. Not at lidl anyway. None of the trousers or shorts seem worth buying as the padding seems so skinny as to be pointless. Never mind I'll just have to save up and get a proper pair from a proper shop.

Funny that. I came to the conclusion that it was only suitable for winter riding with it all being too thick and sweaty for summer.
I was referring to the thickness of the bum padding. Agree with you that the material would suit winter riding rather than summer.

A cheap alternative to cycling specific bib longs might be to borrow a pair of your wife's leggings, wear a pair of braces, and shove a sponge down below for padding. I have no idea though, not having tried this.

For summer use how about borrowing some stockings and suspenders?fishnet ones would be nice and breathable.
May possibly get some odd looks arriving at work though.

Obviously a pencil line down the back of the legs would be 'cool'.
