    +1 for the socks. I have a number of pairs of varying thickness and all are great value.

    It looks like they have redesigned the winter gloves. Will pop in to try a pair as I’ve been using the previous long finger gloves for several winters now. They’re not warm enough for sub-zero rides but fine above, and they cost a pittance. Crane mitts are excellent value too.

    The long sleeve jersey I bought went on ebay as it didn’t fit me. I’ve tried other garments on in the shop and the same applies.

    I think I saw some favourable reviews of the 30% merino base layer so might try one, though am inclined to think that the higher the proportion of wool the better it works so may just stick with my current favourites – Howies NBL and Endura BaaBaa.

    The seat pack with allen multitool is fine but the track pump was junk. For other tools I’d buy branded gear.

    Oddly, we were talking about this elsewhere today. 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’ve looked at the Aldi stuff last time they did a promotion. I personally think that the Decathlon kit is a heck of a lot better and of a similar price. well worth the trip if you don’t live near one.

    Decathlon London do mail order – a well kept secret!

    That tool kit I have
    That tool kit I have seen…..DONT buy it, its very poor construction.

    If you want a cheap kit, I can recommend one on ebay that I used to have. But Aldi’s isn’t great. I used a mates to repair a couple of things on his bike, snapped the chainwhip on the first using.

    Gonna try to get some of the compression stuff as I’m currently using cheapo (free) NHS compression socks. Just need to find someone with an Aldi near them 😕 👿

    I have the lights from last winter- think I might double up on them. Tool kit looks handy too.
    Thanks for the post.

    Love a bit of Aldi (and
    Love a bit of Aldi (and Lidl).
    Today on my ride i wore ALDI ‘compression’ socks – LIDL bib longs and an ALDI windproof. All the Rapha boys look at me in envy i can tell you!
    :O
    The socks are ace but the rest of the stuff is as you would imagine for such prices. Perfectly adequate for plodders like me though.

    The ALDI stuff is made by Crane though which is very respectable brand.
    The tool kit looks pretty good too.

    Thanks for the ‘heads up’ – as im sure young people dont say anymore.
