Got a hi-viz waterproof
Got a hi-viz waterproof jacket. By the time I got there , lunchtime in Cambridge, only small was left but got it for my daughter and I can just squeeze into it if I have cycling gear on but not over normal clothes.Got a winter jacket, medium, today, which must have come in late as there were still plenty left. Have an XL from last year but the zip is a little dodgy but I’ll keep it as a spare. New one has much better pockets, zip seems ok and it’s also supposed to be waterproof.

Socks as top class as ever.
Got some overshoes. Didnt understand the sizing. Got what said were 8/9 presuming that was shoe size but seem a bit baggy. They will do for 6.99 though.Update on my 9.99 long bibs from Lidl. Pretty rubbish. The pad is all over the place – i think the person who designed them needs a crash course in male anatomy.
Beside that i got knocked off today by a non indicating, non mirror checking half wit and ripped them so now have an excuse to ditch them and buy a decent pair!Interesting, i’m an XL got an XL and it’s a great fit, must agree it looks good enough to wear sans velo!

Bugger, saw a link to the Mirror voucher and forgot to click it.I’ve gone for some gloves and tights on the clothes front and a rear pannier rack.
I’ve also picked up one of those Hi-Viz/led strap things, I cant for the life of me think why I bought it, i think I may have got a bit giddy.

Been in there this morning
Been in there this morning and picked up some gloves and leg and arm warmers. They all seem okay, going to look a bit odd later mixing and matching Aldi/Crane kit with Rapha and Specialized. But if it does the job and I get one winter’s wear out of them , then job done in my book.Also have a Lidl’s work stand , cracking bit of kit for the price done me proud for 6 months now!

IME, it;s a bit of a gamble – I’ve had great Aldi stuff (the 2009 training jacket, although the stitching is going on that now) and less great stuff (the bib shorts with the bizarrely positioned pad, the jacket designed for barrel chested men with pipe cleaner arms).My Lidl toolkit and workstand have been superb, fwiw.
The socks are consistently good though (so far).
I am that man with the barrel chest and skinny arms!
+1 for the toolkit, no problems with mine for general maintenance and tinkering.
also agree about the seat pads, feels very cumbersome, hence rarely used. Worth the gamble for £10 or whatever it was though.

Some fella,
Landed Decathlon’s Merino base layers over last 2 winters. Well worth the sub £20 cost.
I found them in the hiking section rather than cycling though.
The second one I bought had quite wide wrists though which is a bit annoying.Mixed reviews on the toolkit
Mixed reviews on the toolkit eh?
😕Agree with John the Monkey about the pad position in the bib shorts. Very odd.
Everyone agrees on the socks though!
I believe Decathlon do a very cheap merino top too – although they are always sold out when ever i go in.

On a serious note, Would you look at the price of compression top and bottom’s in size large? I don’t have a store anywhere near me. There doesn’t seem to be much of it on their site. Apart from this bargain I was going to order, but they don’t deliver to my area :”( .
