The range includes a full set of ‘Pro-Cycling’ performance wear – and unlike offerings from many cycling clothing manufacturers, pretty much every item is available in women’s fit.

The women’s performance cycling jersey (£29.99) is made from a breathable lycra, and has ‘dry-faster’ moisture zones. Accompanying women’s bib tights (£29.99) feature a coolmax gel pad, that is designed for long distance miles and there are lower leg zippers and some reflective details.

There is also a women’s winter cycling soft-shell jacket (also £29.99) wool blend socks for £3.99, and a pair of lobster gloves for £7.99.

Lobster style gloves – where only fingers and thumb are separated – help reduce numbness in cold conditions. We’ll have to wait until we have samples to comment on the fit, but the lobster style is a great option for those who suffer with cold hands so definitely worth a look.

Aldi are also making sure that riders are hydrated and well fed – with 99p energy gels and £2.99 electrolyte tablet packs. We’ve yet to try and taste.
