i only bought budget boots once,,never again.


Me , wanting good products at discount turn to Ebay and buy second hand,,,some good deals out there for top quality,might be a couple of years old,but if they are good then who's to know


My current Sidi boots £45

i usually phail at boots cos wide feet so tcx or have to find proper leather

anything cheaper or italian are too skinny sidi/diadora

bit like lids - cheaper ones have small shells so arai or shoei only - wanted rossi agv for years but they dont do xxxl :D

MCN did a review of the Aldi bike kit - came out very well.


Already fully kitted out, but might buy some extra's there, in case I need a spare set one day!

I'm definitely popping over to my local ALDI on Thursday as I'm interested that Air Compressor and tools :) Might head back over on Sunday to check out some of the stuff but there isn't anything that I specifically need at the moment in the way of bike gear

I don't normally let what I do and don't need stop me buying stuff. The only thing I may need is more space lol

I had one for a couple of years in the past. Good quality though these seem a different make/model. I bust my zip stuffing it to the gills - It wasn't the bags fault  :b

Took a walk to my nearest one this morning, got two pairs of socks, set of compression layers and a set of thermals, will see how they last.
Plenty of people buying, not many jackets and trousers, plenty of boots but seemed to be mostly small sizes.

Just been to Aldi, got 2 new large bike covers and a new wind proof neck thingy. I wanted to get another wind proof thermal long johns and top but the wife stopped me coz I've already got a set. Must go on my own next time.

Got two pair of socks, would highly recommend them to anyone. Also got one of them neck guards, seems good quality but time will tell !!

Okay not ALDI , got this in LIDL yesterday. A lot of people say would not buy a cheap helmet!!!!!!!! ah! why not some of the big players the likes of ARAI are not what they try and make themselves out to be.

ARAI Condor 2** rating £240 a Duchinni D832 £59.99 gets a 5*****rating. There is only one full face helmet in the ARAI range gets a 5*****rating the GP5X @£250.00 source from the UK Gov Sharp .com site.

Okay the Crivit helmet has not been tested by Sharp but it has an EU rating ECE-R 22.05
Also I am of the opinion if a German company is marketing it cannot be all bad.
The helmet looks well made comes with a 3 year warranty so time will tell. The Thermals I have had before so they are decent kit.

Thought the photo would have been there  click on the link.

ECE-R 22.05 (reg22) is the current highest standard for motorcycle helmets

[/size]As a manager of a QA test workshop I was a bit perplexed by the sharp test using anvils and drop jigs


all a bit too static IMHO

got a pair size 11 boots seem ok, at £30 if they last a couple of years it's good value?

Anyone tried the Kevlar Jeans? there is a local store near me, thinking of popping up there to have a look.

@Woodzey80, what are the socks like? do they sag under the heal of your foot..?
Title: Re: ALDI bike gear
Post by: Woodzey80 on 19 April 2015, 02:19:40 pm
Socks are really good, nice tight fit but comfy & no sagging.
I've got a pair of the Kevlar jeans also & again there spot on, I'm into my second year with them & no defects what so ever.
