Mrs G got one of their suits a couple of years ago
Its as well put together as a lot of branded gear out there and a lot cheaper
Much rather spend the dosh on holiday ( and bear) as have to have gear with the right "badge".

Wow I just had a look at their website and i can't believe how cheap that stuff is... most of it would be fine for the casual skiier in normal conditions... well featured too http://www.aldi.co.uk/uk/html/offers/2827_8393.htm
OP, please put a link in the original post in future, makes it easier for people to check it out.

There are a few more ski items in this Sunday (Jan 4th). Merino sweaters, thermal baselayers and snowboarding jacket and trousers plus a variety of kids ski clothing.

If anyone was thinking of getting the merino wool baselayer top and bottoms (women's), personally I found that they run big when I tried them on at home - so you might need to buy a size smaller than normal. So mine have gone back

Yes, found the same. None left by the time I was taking them back so have kept them! (the bamboo thing I got from takkymx did enough shrinking to fit ok eventually, my fantastic laundry skills may make this work?!).
Children's stuff and boardwear in tomorrow.

Are the snowboarding trousers coming in tomorrow actually different to skiing trousers in any way?

I got one of the merino jumpers from Aldi today. They are quite nice, worth the £14.99. I got a slightly loose fit on the grounds that it will probably shrink a bit in the wash.

Skiing trousers tend to have a gaiter on the inside of the ankles to protect against wear, boarding trouser don't have this and can get cut up / sliced when your boots bash against each other

Jode_123,
Nope..and by now much of it will be gone.
I went on Sunday 11am for the snowboarding trousers. They had one pair in each size left...
You usually have to be quick....

I bought the top from the Accrington Aldi at about 2.30pm on Sunday. and there were a reasonable number left. A friend that went there about an hour later said that all the merino tops were gone. So you have to be quick for some things.

I've bought two micro fibre tops for £5.99 and a white roll neck. There was soft shells in alfreton branch for £25 too, plus merino's and pants salopettes.
So far, i'm impressed with the tops. They're warm for the school run!

They don't, normally.
Each lot of "specials" they get in are there until they are gone, and that is it. (The same goes for Lidl too)
But they do usually have at least two separate weeks during the season where ski gear is among their "specials" for the week.

Not seen anything on their website about Sun 4th - is there a flyer anywhere.
Bought some tops and thermal underwear set on 27th - excellent quality. Already have an Aldi ski jacket and salopettes from a couple of years ago which I find to be brilliant quality. Was looking for a smaller adult set for my tall, well built 13yr old son but did not think much of the choice of 1 jacket available - perhaps the snowboard jacket on Sunday might be better ?

The post that I made about the ski gear was a year ago.

Can we also add sportsdirect to this, they seem to have a good range at giveaway prices

some very good airwalk jackets & salopettes ( £35 & £25 respectively)
kids helmets at £16.99 ( the same as hire cost)
girls barbie outfits - £22

I know this an Aldi thread, but another vote for Sports Direct here, keep an eye on their website, we got a pair of Bloc goggles for £15 which are very good, Mrs Monium managed to find a pair of really rather good salopettes for £3. Yes, £3, on their sale rail. It actually had a tag that had the original price at something like £80, reduced to £25, reduced to £15, reduced to £5, reduced to £3. We had a little pile of stickers on the tag so could see how much they'd tried to sell them for over the previous few weeks! Definitely one of the cheapest places to get kitted out, I got some Airwalk trousers for £15 that are perfectly fine and warm.
