I posted in the other thread about the Aldi gear but that's from last year. So I'll ask in this one instead, Anyone know what the covers are like? I have two on covers on my bike; one that's ripped to bits and one that's nearly ripped to bits!

Skill Magill

I wouldn't bother with cheap covers, got one ages ago and binned it. What you want is one with thick material and elasticated with a clip that will loop under the bike to stop it blowing off.
I got an oxford stormex which is admittedly pricey, but is a brilliant bit of kit. Buy cheap buy twice!

I got two covers for less then 25 euro and still have them perfect after 2 1/2 yrs. One was from argos and the other from lidl.....does the job.

Still have two from Aldi from the first time they carried the bike gear years back, no idea what you've been doing but you could have 10 aldi covers for the price of that yoke.

Covers usually only get ripped by pulling them off the bike to fast and them getting caught on the bike and ripping or scrapping against the wall while putting them on or off. Very unusual for a cover to rip from wind alone....if fitted properly.

As usual, it's all blokes gear - no good if you've a pair of hips on ya

I have the thermal base layer gear from 2 years ago and its still perfect. Drove the bike all year round and all I had on me was a t shirt and a akito desert jacket minus the thermal lining and wasnt cold at all! in sumer I drive without the thermal base layer. Have 3 of them cheap cover from 2 years ago a d thryre still fine. one of them ripped at bottom because I pulled it off to fast and it got caught in the foot peg. ill definitely be getting more just in case.

They aren't CE certified; they could/should be en-13595...

You'd be putting a lot of trust in the hands of the manufacturer...

Looks like these are the same jeans: http://www.amazon.co.uk/DuPont-Kevlar-Motorbike-Protection-Trousers-Mens/dp/B00A8RMA62/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

I wouldn't put much trust in kevlar jeans regardless of what spec they were.

They always have thermals of some sort. In fairness, they're reasonably priced.

Picked up 2 alloy cycling bottles and carriers for my racing bike in Aldi for 2 euro each 2 weeks ago,reduced from 5 euro.Also picked up a pair of motorbike compression leggings and top for 6 euro each in the clearence section of Aldi Clonee.Rekon they are all gone now,but you might still be lucky.
