Cheap (~£20) Summer Cycling Jerseys for FLAB..

wolfsbane2k

Hey.

Just torn my 2 year old aldi lightweight cycling jersey, and now in desperate need of a suitable replacemnet.
I got 2 jerseys from aldi this year, but they are no where near as lightweight as the one they are replacing, and they seem to have shrunk a size or two over the years ( a general complaint about aldi cycling clothing).

I normally absolutely melt in any heat on my commute, so really appreciate the full lightweight ones, but can't find any at the moment in my price range (~£20-25) that are available for a lanky sod with a 46" chest...

Anyone seen any around, links would be greatly appreciated.

Ta.

Ebay? (picked up some tidy retro ones for not much)

Decathlon? (always good value)

If you can wait a couple of weeks buy direct from China off Ali Express or similar. Got a couple of sets for commuting and quality is decent.

I'm scrabbling around ebay looking. The Decathlon stuff is ok across the chest, but way too short in the body

Good point, I'd just put an alixexpress order in for some electrical components, should have thought.
Variation in sizing worries me a little, especially if you can't return it easily.

Can you shrink the manmade fibres used in cycling jerseys?

Sounds like too many pies to me,

Oh, its' definitely a case of too many pies
But the old aldi one is bigger than the new one, so would have to stretch manmade fibres

Ohh, good spot, thank you.
They also have a nice selection of brewery tops, which are a little more expensive, but very, very tempting!
