Aldi in Blackpool/Cork have 1/2 price cycling bib tights, pants, etc. Mens & ladies with a good few sizes.

I noticed a final few in the Ballincollig Aldi, too, though very limited range of sizes. Less than half price: I think they'd been reduced about three separate times. (Something like a fiver for the base layers and the bib tights.)

They had lots of the rain jackets. Only in black. Something like €7, if memory serves.

Your ass will thank you!

I've had a pair of the bib tights for several months, and my firm opinion -- and that of my arse, too -- is "a lot better than the pair of jeans I was cycling in before that!"

Recommendations for a slightly better pair for not vastly more money welcome. Especially for a pair of shorts, come the slightly warmer weather.

new fly 12 front camera / light combo, fly 6 is a great product . however the fly 12 seems to be a bit pricey.

However if you want $200 off?

I'd often wear them as an under layer when out MTBing and find them to be quiet good on a 3-4 hour cycle on uneven terrain.

Personal thing. I can spend 8h+ in the saddle in my unpadded bibshorts no problem.

I have two pairs of the bib tights and the pad is perfect in them and I've used them on 3hr spins. What I do find a little bothersome is the knees of them, they can be a little tight as there Is no stretch in the waterproof front layer secton of them but it's only a minor gripe and for €5 they're hard to beat.

Found that with the knees also but for warmth and padding they're good value. Picked up a Catlike Whisper in Halfords yesterday for €25, they had a good stock of various brands, lad behind the counter said they'll keep coming in as their point of sales system orders one for every one sold cheap helmets forever:D:D

That might be a bit optimistic on the price! Popped into that Aldi, and had a look. Still lots and lots of the Ladies in stock, fewer of the Mens. They're wanting €16 for the bibs and the jackets, €12 for the jerseys, and €7 for the base layers. Didn't have a men's L bottom, am going to see if I can get away with transing a pair. Might be half a step smaller though, if I'm understanding the sizing...

No XL bibs, but one L, and several Ms.
