    And you think Nike or Adidas or likewise isn't?

    I lived and worked in India for 5 years, I can sssure you all major clothing companies do it, the difference being with Aldii you aren't paying for the brand name.

    Breathable fabrics are all poluester or polyamide(Nylon) why pay £100 for something that costs £1 to make?

    Look, if you want to try to convince yourselves that this cheap crao is good quality, technical clothing then carry on but don't expect anybody to believe that Aldi stuff is made from the same materials and in the same factory as say Assos..

    You do know it has brand names and Crane sports is one of them and thats not actually that bad of a brand tbh.

    For the price you cant go wrong, some of that "cheap crap" I'd rather pay £5 than £30 when I know it'll last as long.

    Oh, and here's me labouring under the impression that Crane Sports is an Aldi own brand label and only available in Aldi stores when all along it's a highly respected brand in its own right

    I've got Assos and Aldi.

    £6 Aldi Gilet or £120ish Assos Gilet? I doubt the Assos Gilet is 20 times better than the Aldi gilet, for £6 it's worth, it'd probably still be a bargain at twice the price. I picked up the Assos gilet new for less than £60 - I definitely wouldn't have bought one for the full RRP.
    I like bikes...
