Aldi 29th Thursday

greendom

I generally avoid dark coloured cycling clothing (well not so much trousers but certainly tops) so I would be interested in that if it was a good fit.

Dunno if this is throughout all Aldi stores or maybe a local misprice but I bought 2 of these base layers this morning in Ashbourne. They were priced at €19.99 on the shelf and they seem to be €19.99 on the web site but they scanned at €9.99 each.

down to Aldi in Celbridge at 8.05 only to discover not open til 9am
so popped into Palmerstown on the commute route with a view to getting the overshoes and waterproof socks
didn't bother with overshoes as the loop under is fixed and very likely to rip (much better with velcro fastening)
the w/proof socks seemed too thick as i need plenty of room in my wide shoes to prevent the old Mortons neuroma's acting up:(

got a bottle of Mucoff and a pair of std socks(found these very good in the past)

btw does anyone use w/proof socks? do they work?

I got the performance winter jacket. Nice jacket, seems very well made and is a very good fit. Bit too mild to try it out yet but no doubt the colder weather isnt too far away now.

Did anyone see the women's bib tights in Dublin? Couldn't find them in my local aldi. Plenty of mens but none of the women's performance stuff at all.

is it the merino base thats 19.99 ?

rodneyTrotter.

Pity the performance jacket doesn't come in small . I wonder if it's small fitting
I picked up the cheaper hi viz one in small and it's fairly tight on chest but grand provided you're not dressed like an onion

Just out of the aldi in sandyford, goddam feeding frenzy in there but got everything I went in for!

They're the COB lights, they're available on AliExpress for less than half that.

I have last years. Seemed to work, to the degree they do work (i.e. still runs down your leg and in). They are warm, but aren't very breathable though. No issue with the thickness, but my shoes are a little big, so that wouldn't be an issue.

Haven't felt the need to upgrade, but then I'm firmly in the stay warm rather than dry (and this winter I'm planning on staying on the turbo rather than getting wet if it's bad!).

No, its the normal Polyamide/Polyester (see the original link).

There isn't any Merino 'base' as such at €19.99 ? Only what they call a 'Merino Men's Long-Sleeved Sports Top' or the 'Merino Sports Midlayer' which is €29.99.

The long sleeve sports top is merino and I'd describe it as a base

Got a pair of them for €40.00 in Aldi "EastWall" this morning at 10:45 ( maybe 6 left of each) . wow they are very bright

Also got 2 sets of the lower spec ones @ €14.99 .. put the 6 lights on the bike my eyes still have to adjust:cool:

So for €70 I got six lights ,..I know these "Moon Lights" can be got cheaper online but handy to get my hands on them today.

**Given that I was just about to purchase a pair of see.sense icon plus @ €200 ....but these will more than meet my needs.

They were rounded up by the style police and thrown into a great big fire somewhere in Kildare..

two oul biddies filling a trolley in Terenure this morning with cycling gear from an ordered list, looked like a club stock run or something. kind of annoyed me have to say, not very fair on others but such is the way...

I remember a few years during the morning of another Aldi cycling special there was a woman doing the same thing... she had a long list and was filling up a trolley.

But what she didn't realise was that when she had her back turned to get more items, other people were just taking the stuff out of trolley!

I have seen on a couple of occasions people being refused when they tried to buy large amounts of 'specials' in Aldi. I believe there is a provision for this in their terms and conditions.

Same in Killarney. I was watching them for a while , when I saw the 49.99 I nearly passed out with excitement!!!

Checked out the price again today in the Galway store, unfortunately, no change from the €80! One of the store managers thought it unlikely that they would reduce it.

well, i got the grey jacket, socks, dual lights, wearable lights and woolly cap

The quality of this seasons gear is really good, a vast improvement over previous years.

I picked up the lobster gloves as well as the winter gloves as a spare to my usual gloves.

Also picked up the wool hat, my ears are always freezing in winter and this is light enough to go under my helmet and they'll cover my ears too.

The next warmer is brilliant, I bought that for riding my motorcycle.

The arm warmers seem good too, but they're bloody tiny.

And socks too, lots of socks

alexinkildare

I had to get XL in the arm and leg warmers. the rechargeable lights seem pretty good too. I'll tip out when its dark. If I see where I'm going and dont get knocked down then happy days

Picked up one of each of the Muc Offs, a Jacket and a set of leg warmers. Hopefully that'll cover the winter
