ALDI kevlar jeans £29.99 in store Sunday 10th March UK

Hey Aldi have bike gear in again starting this Sunday, been happy with some bits from there in the past.

Have been after a pair of kevlar jeans for an age but was always put off by the price. For less than 30 quid its a no brainer.

Ok they may not be the most stylish or highest spec but if you wear them instead of normal jeans then they are going to provide some basic protection in a spill.

Get there early I think these will sell out fast

follow up report,

I got a pair of 34" on sunday they were a bit baggy so swapped for a 32". They seem great, I would expect being ALDI that they are a better option than some of the cheap kevlar jeans from ebay. the knee armour is comfy and ce approved. The denim feels comfy and not too heavy, they seem like they will offer me what I wanted, a cooler pant for warm slow days on the bike and for £30 you can't ask for more than that. style wise they are slightly baggy and maybe a tad too trendy but all in all a happy purchase.hey if I had more money I may have gone for a more expensive jean but from what I have seen you would need to spend triple the cost to get anything better.

To anyone who rides in normal jeans these have to be a worthwhile up grade that will offer you some extra peace of mind.

they come with removable knee armour and pockets for you to add your own hip armour.

Glad to see that there are more decent priced and quality jeans out there, they seem to offer lots of patterns colours, wouldnt mind a pair of the camo/combat style myself.

always good to see that people can get good cheap gear, because any protection is better than non
