Always find the Crivit winter gear great. Running shorts i got this summer were shockingly bad though.

Aldi are out by a week this year.
If you read the Aldi brochure for next week, in tiny letters at the bottom of the back page it says "Next week - running gear".

Me ( and Mrs Wiggle) are possibly the only people bored enough to have read the back page of the Aldi brochure.

You might think that Husk, but you'd be wrong

Hey Red_Apple...or anyone else

Would you mind posting a screenshot of Aldi gear from their website please as I cant access it.

I want to see what they have next week before I hit Lidl tomorrow.

Thanks

+1 on the shorts, the women’s ones were shocking. Big thick elasticated waist that bunched and folded, plus they were indecently short! Bought two pairs of capri’s in Lidl also, exact same size and style, one pair were perfect, the other pair could have fit me and Mr ncmc into them! Lost the receipt and had to go straight in the bin

I find that with the Lidl and Aldi stuff, it can be a bit hit and miss. Might try the Aldi stuff next week to compare quality, I need a couple of long sleeve tops.

Yeah agreed it can be hit and miss - I got my long sleeve tops in Lidl last year and was delighted with them - will be back for another 2 tomorrow

Anyone confirm that an iPod classic would fit the mp3 arm wallet thing?

It says that it's a one-size-fits-all so it should fit, but not necessarily very well i.e. the pocket might be too big. However, as it will be strapped on to your arm elastically it should be fine. Also, at that price you can't really go wrong

Thanks, realised I'll probably go for the gloves anyway and someone will more than likely have torn one of the packets open anyway, so can probably check.

Just a heads up was in at 8 this morning.... Bought the performance top and trousers. The sizes are quite big. I'm about 6'1 and 185lbs and the large is absolutely swimming on me. Must bring them back later. I hope they have some mediums left by then. Hate not being able to try them on.

Top right of the homepage, under Special Buys. That launches a flash interactive magazine, and you have an option to download the PDF

Any word on the quality of the socks this time ?

I was in at around 9 this morning and very little left in my size (small) I did pick up the high viz running top; it looks a little big though so might have to return it. I'll have to take a trip to Aldi next week I think.

Edit: yep the top is too big. In fairness to Lidl, it does say Small is 10 -12. For any women buying it, I think it's closer to a 12 or at least is a largeish size 10.

Harrybelafonte

Decent selection left in the branch across from Glasnevin Cemetary.

As above 6'1", 198lbs and medium fit pretty well. 32inch inside leg and they're a little long if anything.

childers road lidl in limerick was getting gutted at 8.30 when i was there, they had a lot of stock but it was disappearing fast

seanmacc

Just back from the Swords Lidl and all the mens socks are gone. I collared a member off staff who hadn't a clue if there are any more coming. I just got the gloves and the performance top. I'd open the box for the performance top I was about to walk out with a large until I spotted one opened and it was huge so I grabbed a medium.

Tom Joad

Stuff was nearly all gone in my local Lidl at 8.20 :eek:.

Managed to get a long sleeve top in medium and quickly made my exit - it was like flies swarming around cowshíte at the running gear section..

From my experience if you're in north Dublin the best Lidl to go to for the specials is the Baldoyle store. Its generally less busy than the others and gets the same amount of stock. I've beaten the mob there on a couple of occasions.
