I could not resist a trip to ALDI.
My £15 bought me:
1 pair of XL winterwarm cycling gloves, in colourways to match the new WillyWilier style.
2 pairs of strategically cushioned winter bike socks
3 bottles of Pinot Noir
I could not wait to try the XL gloves on. They are XL overall, but the fingers are not! Not only are the fingers 30mm short, and although having fingers stick out straight forward in no problem, getting them to bend round the bars will be interesting. But at least there ARE 5 fingers to each glove, so they've got something right.
Have not tried the socks on, but am prepared for interesting experiences.
The Pinot Noir will be no such surprise! It is a well-kept secret that this is top class stuff for the price. Fortunately Pinot Noir is an advanced taste, so my supplies will remain reliable!
So: verdict is: try before you buy! Hint: THE GLOVE WRAPPER WILL SELF-SEAL AGAIN. I found out too late!
