I can only tell you about Bristol mate....
Fowlers http://www.fowlers.co.uk/retail/ Massive range of stuff, not so many cheaper options J&S Accessories http://www.jsaccessories.com/ Big range, plenty of cheaper options And of course Hein Gericke (Cardiff shop is better than the Bristol one). |

It's also about staying warm and dry through the winter. Your ability to concentrate and ride will be severely impaired if you get wet and your core body temperature drops; it's worse that trying to ride after drinking beer. First the hands go.......and it's downhill from there I'm not one for being impressed with labels either.......I've heard some great reports about kit was being sold by Aldi and Lidl a few months ago. I think that the textile suits at Aldi was some rebadged HG stuff. Decent looking textile suit, waterproof with themal lining and CE armour was less than £100, and all German made. I got a one-piece lined waterproof oversuit for £10 and the gloves I got for £13 are the only ones I've had that have never leaked. Jabba's Top Tip: Sign up for the Lidl and Aldi e-newsletters that tell you about forthcoming special offers |

Lidl and Aldi sell biking gear one day a year, in the Spring. You have to know
the day in advance (through their websites or leaflets) and be at the doors before they open. The Lidl biker's day is usually one week before the Aldi one. |

Fowlers usually has a sale around Christmas time. They advertise it in advance on
their website. |
