ALDI bike gear

Thanks for this, i will go and have a look at the cheap tankbag, if seems decent quality i might get one, take the load off my back  :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

[slappy]

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

[chaz]

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..?

[Woodzey80]

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.
