Lidl! Cheap tops and trousers

Discussion in 'Clothing, Gadgets & Equipment' started by MrAliT, Feb 25, 2014.

  1. A friend of mine *cough*, mentioned that Lidl have motorcycle under trousers and tops on sale this week (Thursday). Apparently they bought some last year and they are pretty good.

    I wouldn't know of course.....never go near the place! :wink:

    I'd avoid the flip front helmet for £39.99 :eek:

    Our Offers - Thursday, 27.02. - Lidl UK
     
  2. Liking the look of those & cheap enough.. A mate of mine (cough cough) may have already bought similar items from Aldi last week.. Same sort of thing but aimed at runners.... These look better though
     
    • Thanks Thanks x 1
  3. I bought *cough* sorry, he bought a top and bottom last year. Great under leathers, cool but also good under layers to keep warm......apparently......cheapskate!

  4. Ahem, indeed.. Dainese or nothing for ME bud... haha
     
  5. I'm not ashamed, they are great especially for the money!

    I have some of these and some pro skins, they both get used equally as much. If anything the Lidl ones are a little warmer...

  6. Just a word of warning........you may not look as dashing as the male model they have in the advert! Its good to get a rough approximation of colour but they are rather unforgiving....unlike most black garments!
     
  7. I have some of these brought last year there great
     
  8. Thanks for the heads up I generally buy them every year. Never had an issue with the quality but not very flattering even when I breath in.
     
  9. Uhh huh - better take the ones for Wantz back to the shop then

  11. It looks very like the compression suit that Aldi has sold in the past, if so it will be well worth the money. I now use mine along with the matching socks and they are perfect under my racing leathers, much easier than an undersuit to move around in as it "slides" more.
     
  12. These Lidl/Aldi under leathers stuff are far better than a lot of the name brands.

  14. I had a flyer come through my door a couple of years ago for motorcycle under clothing,from Aldi,so off I trotted and kitted myself out so far so good..cheap as chips aswell :upyeah:
     
  15. Bought the top n bottoms a couple of years ago along with a pair of the socks...brilliant bits of kit plus the socks had 'L' n 'R' on em which helps lol

  18. From Aldi no, you need to go when they have an offer on in the local store. They often sell pretty much the same thing in different guises, for example outdoor wear, cycling wear, hiking wear. It does come up about every 6 weeks or so where I am.

    Dare I say it! but there is an Aldi App that you can use to check what offers are coming up and what they contain. They usually have offers about 2/3 times a week.

    I have an Aldi at the top of my road near enough and I often check out what they are selling when I pop in there for something like a few pints of milk. I bought some nice mechanics picks from there recently much better than the Machine Mart ones, they do decent ratchet spanners at times.
     
  19. I'm tempted by the Lidl ones, but the sizes only start at Medium and I reckon I will need a Small for the trousers, otherwise I can see myself with Norah Batty wrinkles..........
     
  20. I'm a 30 inch leg and they are fine in medium. They are so stretchy anyway any extra length can be lost
