Finally got round to trying out the Aldi overshoes I bought during that sale.
They have no means to tighten themselves up around your ankles, meaning they are baggy and open at the top to let the wet in.
So that gives me:
Leggings - chamois pad is in the wrong place (basically at the front rather than underneath)
Compression top - doesn't wick.
Merino top - not stretchy and itchy
Overshoes - let water in
In conclusion, everything I bought from the aldi cycling sale was not fit for purpose.
Would not recommend anyone buys any of their cycling gear next time it comes around.
