Just got back from Aldi.
First impressions are that some of the gear seems to be mediocre (personally I thought the softshell jacket was alright but not worth it in my opinion) while other stuff seemed to be cheap and cheerful (the cycling shirt/jacket seems to be of decent quality but unfortunately, I have no need for one). Got myself a set of cycling shorts at £7.99. Tried them on, went for a little ride and concluded that the fit is good, can't complain about quality and that the pad (which was really the only thing that I cared about) might be better than my relatively expensive altura pads. Gonna go back there and get a couple more.
