    If you mean the mountain bike
    If you mean the mountain bike shorts I bought a pair in XL. The inner shorts were a very strange fit, and would only just cover my butt as in a “down in the hood” low slung jeans look. They also appeared to be bigger than the outer shell, and yet the seat pad hardly covered the vital areas. As I am aged 60
    I tried to pull them up and “ping” the rubber retainers snapped. I discarded the inners and tried the shorts over a pair of Aldi lycra shorts with padded seat and the two were a perfect combo,all pulled up nice and snug ready for the chill winds of winter. At £12.99 I thought they were worth keeping and have put the inners in the “might come in handy” drawer.
    I have previously tried other brands of commuter/mtb shorts and although these don’t have a double seat and other features for the money they are fine.

    We raided the road.cc petty
    We raided the road.cc petty cash tin and bought the merino jersey. Not that we’re short of kit around these parts – I think we just got swept up in the excitement. It was busy in there but no queues or nuffink. Anyway, the quality is fine. It’s kind of thin with no rear pockets but it looks cool, the zip is YKK, you get a silicone gripper around the rear hem… it’s neat. We’ll do a Schwag Grab on it next week. That’s nearly 14 quid’s worth – or was it 15? – so make sure you don’t miss it!

    Doh!

    Too excited? lol 😀

    I looked at the jersey and decided to leave it as it was quite low in merino % but what do you expect at that price I guess.

    Merino jersey and socks..
    Merino jersey and socks.. perfect look for me ( not tight ) ok for off bike use, will test ride them tomorrow. :B

    The rain jacket and trousers looked to be rubberised, so would turn into a sauna-suit and be wetter on the inside!

    They only had the winter jacket in my local(ish) one not the flo yellow rain jacket I wanted. Plus the winter jacket was black so not ideal imho.

    The mens baggy shorts look
    The mens baggy shorts look good for commuting too. I’ve only bought one thing from aldi before; a soft shell jacket and it was great until the zip bust. I notice all the new stuff is listed as having ykk zips so that should be solved.
