Some bargains at Aldi right now.

I took my elderly Day shopping today in Aldi in Selly Oak in Birmingham. He's 93, bless him, and he loves Aldi so I take him when I go to visit him every two or three weeks.

They've got some cracking bike gear in there (and some shit stuff too, like cheapo helmets) but from the selection of good stuff I bought Mrs J and myself a thermal top (long-sleeved) each, a couple of thermal buffs, two pairs of motorbike socks each, and a pair of two piece skins, short sleeved tops and trousers. About £65 for the lot. The quality is actually really, really good. The same stuff at our local bike dealer would've been more than £170 for the lot.

So get down to Aldi, spend a little and live a lot. Yay!

I purchased 2 pairs of the socks, TBH i find they aint long enough for my boots.

I'm hoping they have more of the waterproof bag thingies in before my Lake District trip in June

I tested out one of those t,shirts.
strange feeling at 1st , yer back feels wet/cold , but it isnt?

I wore the t,shirt out yesterday with a fleece over the top, and my bike jacket.

A hard ride out down dirt tracks and through woods , so ye can imagine i got hot.

The t,shirt kept me dry and i wasnt as hot as a regular , t,shirt , with sweat running down ye back.

They look a bit gay ,(most new stuff dose these days) but id recomend em for keeping you cool.

Bought the "windproof turtleneck" top and wore it by itself under my jacket on this weekend's trip to Ireland.
Pretty good - doesn't wick the rain in at the neck and although I'd overestimated the temperature, I survived.
Wore an ordinary T-shirt underneath it after day 1 and it was fine.
