Only did 12 miles but I was sweating. I think I could have got away with shorts today and keep longs for really cold rides. They are very warm indeed, I wish I had another pair but the last Aldi sale didn't have any near us only no-bibbed variety. |

Only issue is that word is spreading FAST and there can be very limited availability within only days.£15 for a waterproof , breathable,functional jacket or £7-8 for running/cycling leggings just cannot be beaten. |

Couldn't smell it myself but washed shorts anyway. Wished I had got more pairs but couldn't afford them at the time. |

Value for money I still use it now and it looks and feels as good as it did when bought. In comparison to my DHB long sleeve, which cost £30 there is quite a difference, the Aldi has more length in the body, the dhb pockets are rather small. But thats just me you decide whats good for you. Paul. |
