Yeah, but they aren't as good as jerseys that cost three or four times as much.

I have one of their jackets and its alright and certainly worth no more than the £12 I paid for it. I bought one of their jerseys and it was horrible. Sent is straight back and annoyed a few people in the queue because refunds take longer than normal transactions.

I do like their cheese biscuits and their Belgium buns though biggrin
The jerseys I got were 7 quid, fit me great, well made and are no different to stuff I've paid £25 for. Obviously not as good as decent kit from the premium brands. Agree that the other stuff looked a but pants, so I didn't buy them ;-)

I have an Aldi pack-a-mac type rain jacket, and the same in gillet. They're fine for commuting, but not brilliantly well designed or cut for a longer rides/

I can't really comment on DHB as I've only had one top from them.

I love merino though. I'm (very gradually) replacing my non-cycling t-shirts with merino ones.

Bought a few things from Tenn

which have been perfectly adequate and can't complain at the prices. Some of the sizing is a bit off - particularly shorts/trousers tend to need to be ordered a size bigger than you'd normally. They also sell direct through Amazon which is really useful to check out reviews to see what others say about sizing of a particular item.
