Possible bargains

I rate most of this stuff - good price for stuff

Kind of tempted by the Kevlar jeans.....

Got a pair last year. Not totally convinced by them. Don't look that well made

I was going to make my way down an have a rummage through to see if there is anything worth while.

I'm sure the jeans can't be any worse than standard jeans...

I went but there were no jeans in stock - looks like selected stores only.

I've had several pairs of their boots and have been very pleased with them.

Last year I bought a pair of their Kevlar jeans - they are a real bargain. Maybe not quite the amount of Kevlar that you get in Hood jeans but as much as in most brands and they seem well made.

I wanted some of their gloves today as the previous pairs I've had have been OK .... but when I got to the Reading store today (visiting mum this weekend) they only had small ones left. They looked very well made this year but missed one vital attribute .... no mention of being waterproof.
So I ambled on to Lidl and they still had some of theirs from their bike clothing stuff that they had in 10 days ago. Don't look as robust as Aldis but they do purport to be waterproof.

That's no good to me then :smt012
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock
