Ski equipment in Aldi Monday 27th.

http://www.aldi.co.uk/uk/html/offers/offers_week52Monday10.htm

some good reviews in previous years. Definetly good enough for anyone wanting to try skiing for the first time but dosent want to risk investing to much money on gear. Normally it is limited stock.

Wow, for the price some of that stuff looks good. Handwarmers @ GBP1.49? Cheap as chips!

Lip balm and thermals is about as far as I'd go with that stuff.

I have never worn thermals, just the one layer on my legs and three on my top bit,and a little something on my head plus the most important item my hip flask filled with a very pleasant aged
cognac.

Surprizing as it may seem the quality of Aldi ski gear is better than you might anticipate. (Presumably cheapo German is better than cheapo UK)
My first Jacket & Salopettes came from Aldi - I've still got the Jacket (which is more than I can say for some of the more expensive ones I've had since) although the diet rendered the salopettes obsolete.

My husbands Aldi Jacket has lasted much longer than my expensive brand one and he goes skiing twice as much as I do! A lot of my base layer is Aldi and it is good stuff and so are the hats and gloves!

Aldi gear for the most part is of good quality. It has to pass German procurement standards. I am quite critical of gear, mainly because it has to do a lot of ski weeks. I never look at the label. Function and quality are prime.
I recently tried on a pair of so called branded sallopettes in a big ski store, priced at GBP250. They were pretty poor.

Can see non skiers buying this so the kids can go sledging on snow days

Unless you are outside queuing before opening, you will not get a sniff

Well tbh I was judging this before I even saw it, BUT after looking at the pics it doesn't seem too bad. If I was starting out I'd be steaming straight into this.... Put clothing prices in

Into prospective when there selling 100% merino thermals for GBP30. I've just spent GBP100 on icebreaker... Hmmmm can there really be any difference? If so GBP70's worth....

All the branded merino that I have come across is made in China. My merinos, are by Kuhl, mountainlife, and a couple of icebreakers, all made in China.
If they are not merino, your friends will be avoiding you by Thursday......

Went along and had a look what the gear was like.

I think I was the only person there who had ever been skiing.

Said it all for me.

Just been down to check out their gear -

Was very impressed by the quality of the roll-neck tops and ski-tops. Bought a couple each of these. Also bought a set of the thermal underwear which I have not tried on yet, but seems to be reasonable quality.

For the price, this stuff does seem to be very good - it might not have a spider on it or say Salomon on the label but for base layers, its great.

Yes you would have to be seen in Aldi though ) but as long as you can bear to fight your way through the nutters and the chavs, I would reccommend it - the clothes at least. Not so sure about the goggles/helmets etc but the base layer clothing seems good.

If anyone asks tell them your wearing Aldidas, that will confuse them. :D

Well, if anyone makes a judgment about you on the basis of the name on your clothes labels, they aren't really the sort of people worth knowing are they ?

ALL my clothes have labels- unfortunately they all say 'XL'!
Think I'll go and check Aldi out- always up for a bargain.

Yeah, ok, you got me Ian; but those Ann Summers knickers I'm partial to won't be any good in Niederau - they just ride up too much !
