Not convinced by any of aldi's special purpose socks. I have the cycling socks and looked at the biking ones before. They just look like multi coloured socks to me! Maybe I'm not getting something?!
Their thermal undies are normally reasonably good. Compare them to big brand compression gear and you'll see the difference but they're really pretty good.
The gloves looked just ok last time. Not the only gloves about for £15 but it's not going to break the bank.
Lock was hefty enough for tenner.
I reckon I'll be there for a look at the jacket.

I bought the £25 biker boots last year and they're still in perfect nick. I treated them with dubbin before wearing them and I survived Aviemore last year with dry feet. In actual fact, I bought 2 pairs and still have a pair in a box for future use. They get my seal of approval. I didn't think much of the jackets and trousers but I bought a couple of pairs of socks. They're good too.
