was perusing the enormous range of beers from small Scottish microbreweries in Aldi at the weekend, when I saw they had the textile jacket above reduced by £10, and as I need something waterproof before the cold and wet arrives later in the year, oh why not. Seems to be really well made, and just as good as any brand name jackets I've looked at. Time, as they say will tell.

They seem to be ok, I had a Nitro one for my first Jacket and the Aldi ones seem very similar in build quality. So certainly better than nothing.

I'm sceptical about cheap jackets now. I had an off wearing a Tuzo jacket and alpinestars trousers. The trousers still look new the cheap jacket resembled a superman cape by the time I stopped sliding.

Visordown review is pointless "YKK zip".... hurray! I'd rather know what happens when it slides down the road at 40.
