new aldi's cycle stuff

[alecstilleyedye]

i noticed that the base layers had been taken off the website (they do this if a supply problem is anticipated); but they had them in the macc store and i got a top base layer as well as some reflective bands.

was disappointed to find that the hrm was not the integrated-with-computer version that they've done before, so i passed on that.

Got to the one in St Andrews just after nine, not a lot of stock either that of the students had already raided the place which I doubt given that the Telly Tubbies had not finished on CBBC.

The High Viz jacket = boil in bag so did not bother but I did get a pair of waterproof trousers for emergencies when commuting.

Got a pair of bib longs to try, 3 pairs of socks and a thermal top, always useful.

The winter gloves appeared to be of intermediate quality and I doubt they would be great at protecting hands from the lower temperatures.

Compared to previous promotions I think the quality of the goods has been reduced taken in conjunction with the increase in prices I feel that the question of Value for Money should be considered.

In case somebody from Preston is still after some Aldi gear, the Aldi in Bamber Bridge had everything in all sizes at 11.30 this morning!

Just about 10 of each garment in my local and half-a-dozen customers. Sizing peculiar as usual bur stuff seemed OK as lonk as tried on for size.

got a pair of winter gloves and a winter cycling shirt and jacket.. well happy with them... might go a get another set later. they seem reasonable quality for the price

Gloves, socks, bratwurst, a chorizo and a fuet for me.

Pair of the RonHill style trousers, a long sleeve top and a hat/overshoe set for me. Still plenty left in the Stirling branch although there were a number of cyclist types there.

Plenty left in Didsbury store - even a BC car coming out of the car park....

Just 1 pair of socks, 1 x compression base layer (left over from previous offers although only a few thermals left - mainly L and XL) and those arm bands £3.99 for 4 is pretty not bad.

The waterproof jacket's looked OK if in the market for a cheap waterproof. Plenty of reflective strips etc - I didn't bother as my waterproof is fine.

I just got myself a soft shell jacket... it says it is waterproof but im not so sure about that. As long as it is breathable ill be happy

A guy at work got one too. I was tempted, they looked like they'd be warm but I've already got a windproof which I can make warmer by layering up beneath it.

The softshells are similar to the ones earlier this year. They're fine in a light shower but waterproof is definitely a fib. I picked one up anyway, I like my current one.

 

[fossyant]

I got bought a red softshell some months back (loads of reflective bits on it) - not used it yet, but looks like they will be fine in the cooler months. For the really cold stuff, I'll break out the windproof thermal.

its going to be an expensive trip to adli

Never thought I'd see those words appear in the same sentence.

 

[Alembicbassman]

Gloves, socks and hat for me. Decathlon tops are better IMHO and are a better fit, but plenty of stock in the Rotherham branch.

 

[punkypossum]

It's weird, just have been to the Aldi in Preston town centre and there is still loads of stuff left - normally the shelves are empty by about 9.30. Nobody seems to want the gear this time...
