Winter Gear pretty cheap

[Arnie]

For those in VIC or TAS or the higher elevations of NSW....
I hate snow and ice, lived in it for 1/2 my life, but if you have to be in it you're much better if you can keep warm.
Aldi (the supermarket) is having a sale on Ski and Snowboarding gear starting Saturday 16 May.

If you're after a pair of warm, weatherproof pants, or some reasonably priced long underware, or even one of those stupid looking 1/2 masks (just my opinion) They have some pretty good gear at very good prices.
I bought a pair of snowboarding pants a couple of years ago, and they are great for winter motorcycle riding.  No, they don't have armour, but they are padded and warm with zippered pockets.

Howdy Arnie, I remember you mentioned these while we were at Jindabine last year and I have been scouring the Aldi catalogues ever since.
Thanks for the Heads Up. I'll wander in on Saturday and have look.

Be Good.
Tony.

Hey Tony, be sure to be at the store opening time of the day they release them (check the local catalogue as it varies across regions). My wife wanted an exercise gadget and I did arrive early (about half hour after they opened) and just about everything on sale that day had already gone . It is a bit of retail madness , but I admit their stuff is pretty good for what you pay. Also, being a German company, you can bet the winter gear is up to scratch. My wife is German and aldi is just like Franklins or Coles to her, so I do have some bias.
