Can't get a bloody link working, but might be worth a look (among other more walking related outdoorsy gear)

If its anything like the one I bought from them years ago, they are brilliant base layers....very warm

If they're like the bamboo socks I've got they will be warm but a bit sweaty. IMO not as good as merino or even top quality cool-max.

They are excellent, They are quite simply the most comfortable T shirts/Base Layer I have ever owned and I have a lot some very expensive, They look Bobbins though, and as said they are of the warmer type base layers, not the best at wicking, but by gum they are soft 🙂

Just back from Aldi with two; they have raglan sleeves, too - just how I prefer my t-shirts!

Thanks MoreCashThanDash! 8)

Anyone know how these are for sizing ?

I'm between a medium and large normally depending on the shirts

Are these available just today or do they run until they've sold out? Not really bothered with these Aldi deals but these look OK.

OK cheers, think it will nip in tomorrow and get a medium.

As far as I know, they keep them in stock for a good few weeks or until they sell up.

Aldi Blackpool had a basket 3/4 full of them cycling gloves yesterday and they was on offer about 3 weeks ago.

You can all thank me by having a whip round and sending me a couple of these in large as the Ilkeston store didn't have any in!

👿

Or maybe medium, having just read the sizing advice.

They arrived in Ilkeston a day late - lovely and soft, and the medium is a snug base layer fit on my normally large frame 😀

Yep I got a medium one at lunchtime and it fits me fine.

I'm back at work in a bit so I'm going to nip back to Aldi after work and see if they have anymore.

Heads up to anyone looking for them instore, they are wrapped in a paper tube so don't mistake them for bin bags at first glance 😀

Non in Risca Aldi now as I've bought all the larges, could fit in a medium though they come up pretty big (6'3" with long torso) although factored in shrinkage (the top not me :-p )
