My Aldi winter jacket is doing me proud as a daily commuter jacket
My Aldi (or Lidl, can't remember) one is surprisingly good. My Gore Phantom is better though. If it vanished I'd buy another one to replace it. The arms come off so it's properly adaptable for different temperatures. Useful as it's often warmer on the ride home than the ride to work, if you do 'normal' hours anyway.
