Lidl Bike Gear

Yeah , stuff like that is worth the money , I`ll agree . Anything that can come on for a bit of abuse though , don`t expect it to stay in one piece for long . They are made to a budget and do what they supposed to , but not for long . Mates have Aldi tank bags thrown in corners after 3 months use , gloves that have seams coming apart ..... I won`t touch the stuff myself , Once bitten , twice shy as their waterproof cycling trousers let me down in the middle of nowhere and I was soaked through , shivering , white as a bone and generally thinking how dangerous this stuff can be if you happen to be in the wrong situation , like a tank bag coming away from the tank at speed and flapping down the side of your bike like one of my mates .

Their heat regulating under trousers and t shirts are brilliant! We'll get another set of those each if they're available. Not because ours have fallen apart........they are still as good as when we first bought them and we wear them all the time under leathers now...............but because it's always handy to have spares

Funny, I'm on my 2nd lidl tank bag. The last one managed 2 full winters before the map hold plastic split, but other then that is fine. Keep as the spare. The 15 gloves I have a bloody marvellous having lasted 2 very wet AR's and 2 full winters with-out a leak. Which is more then could be said for the expensive stuff.
Aldi on the other hand I have had 2 jackets and they both leaked, got my last one from lidl and so far so good.

mini tank bags are awesome, as is base layer suit, the lock i bought 3 years ago is the same a motrax charge £40 for (lidl £8 )

Didn't get on with any of the bike2bike radio or pillion 2rider gear. I think that could be as my lid is a tight fit.

I bought one of their tank bags 3 yrs ago and its been brilliant for the £5 or so i paid! Its been all over the pace thru some really crappy weather too and even to germany and back... but i cheated on that one cos i took it on a plane

My local shop aint doing it either, boo!

My first mini tank bag is coming to the end of its life (15K miles) ended up having to buy one on Ebay for twice/thrice I paid in lidl. (£10 ebay)

and yet its still in my eyes, a bargain!

First set of Crane waterproofs I had were mint, but the Hospital cut them up so bought another pair, & they are like wearing a normal pair of pants - they are quite literally pants Need to get another pair, take these back & see if I can get a refund

i got a £3 mini tank bag......... its awsome, realy handy

also got the 2 piece waterproofs, for £19.99, which kept me dry at the N/S when it lashed down

i think all there stuff is good, apart from the lids,

boots are not the best but for £24 not bad?

I fancy at least the tank bag - can't go wrong at that price...

Just hope my store does it - will pop down on Monday and see

Thanks for the heads-up!
