Any good?
These are what I was looking at myself, and the snazzy looking 13L bike bag... although my normal back pack does the job perfectly...

Yeah they are good comfy fit with body mapping etc. They look tiny when you take them out of the box but do stretch to fit, and cheap enough if you dont like them. I would post a pic of me wearing them but tight fitting nature of the garments may cause lots of :smt078Didnt need a tank bag but they did look quite solid.

Don't you worry - If I get some no doubt I'll happily do a pose ;)

Wonder if they are better than the Aldi compression's.

Aldi only did Medium as the smallest which fit me "ok", ideally Id have them a little tighter I think. Lidl do Small's?

I had a look at it, looked pretty cheap and weak to me, not a patch on the ALDI stuff I got a couple of years ago. You'd be much better off getting HG low range stuff than this.

Loads left at the Lidl near me and loads left at Aldi aswell :)

I just got the compression top and pants, socks, backpack (for Pops), waterproofs (for Mother) from Lidl and the bablclava and neck tube from Aldi :)

Just bought one of the compression tops from Lidl. Was the last Medium left in the shop in Leamington.

Plenty of fatty sizes left though. Thought about getting some gloves as well as I don't have any winter gloves but they didn't look like they's offer much protection in an off and I have grown quite attached to my fingers.

Here is a pic of me wearing them.

Picked up a set of the textiles, not sure if arenalife was referring to the quality of the textiles, however they are quite light and not as heavy duty as more mainstream brands.

They have some really good features in terms of neck fastenings, extra pockets etc, but not sure how well they'd stand up to a slide down the road. The CE armour is basically just foam padding, not harder material that I've seen in some suits and the warm lining for the jacket is just a gilet style, so there's no fleece lining down the arms.

Is it worth £120 for a set? Dunno, if it is waterproof for a while then maybe, I'll keep mine for a few weeks and put it through the commuting mill....if it's gash, then it'll go back for a refund.
