As usual, lots of ladies and kidswear, but a bit short on menswear.
Their stuff is pretty good value for money. Bought lots of base layers and sock in the past.
I got one of their jackets and matching salopettes couple of years ago. Only criticism is pockets are a bit shallow, and could do with a couple more, but warm enough.
I can't help thinking they are missing out on a lot of sales though. I'm not exactly on the large size, but most of their largest sizes barely fit me. They ought to do at least 2-3 sizes larger in mens to capitalise on the market.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Thanks for the heads up, might treat the non skiing Mrs Vipa to some merino!

I went to my local Aldi this morning and bought a long sleeved merino roll neck top base layer for £24.99, and a pair of 3M thinsulate ski gloves for £5.99. Good value!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

FYI, the Aldi website states that the merino leggings are 100% wool, the package is labelled as 50%.

I got some merino leggings yesterday - sold out of tops.
I think mix of wool/polyester is regarded as best for function/durability but website should not be stating incorrect information for sure.

Lidl's stuff is in from this Sunday too apparently - although whether much makes it to S London I doubt it!

Such a shame they're not available online this year. The photos are entertaining as always

Just kitted my kids (1 boy and 1 girl) out in all their gear from Aldi - jackets, trousers, fleeces and base layers. The stuff for the kids seems to be really good especially the base layer set. Great price as well for gear that only needs to last for one week this year and hopefully the same again next year.
Next to no stock available in my local store (Ruisip) - we got the last of each size available for them - 1 set each -even though we were the 1st people there on Sunday morning as soon as store opened!

I went into my local Lidl today and bought a new ski jacket. Feels quite warm and whilst obviously not the highest tech it's claimed to be waterproof to 3000mm hydrostatic head. Normal price was £24.99 but if like me you've got the Lidl Plus app there's a further 25% discount, so only cost me £18.74. At that price I don't think I can go wrong, I'll take it with me as an additional jacket on my next ski trip in 2 weeks time to try it out, if it doesn't prove good enough on the slopes I can always use it as a normal winter jacket.
