If it's of a similar quality to last year then it's very good, my zip
up jersey and waterproof jacket are still going strong.I'm off to the ALDI site to see what they are selling this year!

What are the sizes like? I tend to buy regular clothes in XL, but XL in
cycling gear is usually too small. -

cut. Their trousers are optimistically cut. -

Completelty agree. Best to do a quick check in the store. For their
jerseys I'm a medium & I'm normally an XL, but I got some XL bibtights
from them and the legs are too short. As for quality I'm still using
stuff from two or maybe three years ago.Stan Cox

backlight.Looks like the one I got last year which I haven't bothered with since it
spontaneously reset itself back to the setup screen for the second time.
And the LCD loses a lot of contrast when the backlight is on.
But maybe I was just unlucky with the particular one I got. -

I now have this year's Lidl wireless sitting a drawer, waiting to be fitted
(although the battery was dead in that one). Last year's Lidl wired was
good untilI I damaged it by pulling the wire out of the sensor.--

Similar mishap here on a kid's bike -- the wire got pulled out of the main unit
when the handle bars turned >180 deg. Attempts to solder the wire back on
resulted in a sticky mass of melted plastic. -

The gel-palmed gloves seem pretty pleasant (just rode home from Aldi
wearing them), and the jacket feels light enough to be breathable. The
framebag's not too bad either. I'm not fully convinced by "ergonomic
cycling socks" however...R
