Wasn't bad for the money, but it was very tight and short in the arms for me. Moving up to the medium, the torso was too baggy and the arms were still short.<br /> If it really is windproof and warm, it's pretty good though. We considered buying a Small and cutting the arms off to make a gillet, but that would mean having to thread the overlocker <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/psa-aldi-bike-stuff-on-thurs#post-2534415 Thu, 05 May 2011 12:42:11 +0000 binners 2534415@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>I think I'll check if they've any track pumps left on the way home.
