I bought one of the jackets the last time they were on special. It's a
good enough jacket - reflective trim, fold down flap for keeping your
back warm. Only problem I found was that some of the threads in the seams
hadn't been finished off very well or were a bit loose.

The jacket material seems to be "rip stop" style - branded "Crane Sports"

The jacket also folds up into it's own pouch.

for the money I can't complain!

I was up there not half an hour ago for some chilled beverages from the off licence over the road. I think they close earlier than most other supermarkets, maybe seven thirty or eight pm.

Does anyone know what time Aldi stores close? I'd like to try my local one
(Tottenham) after work.

Thanks,

Brilliant. Pity there is no store near me.Still worth a journey
though. Lidl also do a lot of bike stuff but not as good as all this
lot: it's mostly accessories like a gel seat pad the size of a chaise
longue and last year some "pro-cycling" track mitts with a picture of
a situpandbeg bike on them. These two chains and also Netto are
German, just goes to show how mass market cycling is on the continent.

I took a look in Aldi this morning and the stuff they have is the usual
quality. Jerseys are yellow/black, white/black, red with white side
panel, royal blue/yellow. Shorts to match. Jerseys and shorts £5.99.
The jerseys seem less scratchy than some of the last lot. The shorts
are a bit thin and the small size I bought is actually a bit large but
at that price does it matter?

They also have gloves (£1.99) and water resistant jackets (a bit bulkier
than I was expecting and people were buying them for everyday wear).

There is an excellent rucksack at £7.99 which would suit many commuters.
Plenty of compartments, access for Walkman cables, helmet straps, even
an integral cover and mobile phone pocket.
