Can't wait to see the queues of "dedicated Hell's Angels" at the checkouts! Boots at £29.99? Something not working for me there, but can't quite put my finger on it......
Balaclavas, neck tubes, thermal base layers, ok. But when gear that is supposed to be protective in the event of an accident starts to be sold by such places at these kinds of prices, yes, I have my doubts. Maybe I just have a suspicious mind
Also maybe this stuff is as good as some of the stuff that is sold as "named" gear but without a massive markup.

With a lot of "top" brands now having their products manufactured in China, India, Croatia etc in order to reduce labour costs, the quality of these brands has undoubtedly shown a marked decline in recent years. This, apparently, also includes motorcycle manufacturers who once had a reputation for quality finish. It is not, in my mind, something to be encouraged however. Better for cheaper brands to improve than for the more trustworthy names to sink to their level.
CROATIA?? Really?
Aldi - German Hein Gerrick --- German, there must be a lot of stock laying around have they done a deal
I had a pair of the boots from Aldi before (not the exact same ones I imagine, but they were about that price anyway).Believe it or not, they actually werent all that bad for the money. Once I moved up from the 50cc though I felt I needed to get something more proper.
So who's going to test the kevlar jeans with a belt sander!
