I used the discount code on Wednesday when I ordered some caps (which I'm still waiting to dispatch), thought it too cheeky to apply the code again.
That's a bit slow on the postage, I'd be hoping its here for next weekend seeing as I ordered last night.

Did you get an order confirmation? I checked out with PayPal and only got a PayPal receipt, nothing from Vulpine (ordered yesterday)

I ordered my stuff on Wednesday and it arrived yesterday.

Pretty happy with it, it looks like really good quality kit, I'm actually tempted to get one or two other bits while they're in the sale as well!

Got PayPal receipt and Vulpine order confirmation for both my orders. If neither order ships by the end of Monday I'll be chasing them.

I ordered my Vulpine gloves on Fri last week, and they were delivered yesterday. I tried the softshell ones out this morning, and whilst they didn't (quite) keep my fingers warm, I don't know what would have done.

The Hoy Sportive ones felt nice too, and for £27 delivered for both pairs, I think I got some good value...

My order arrived yesterday too.

Shame that they actually sent me a SS Fortress jersey in tangerine rather than the charcoal Randa LS I ordered!

Should be sending the correct item today 1st class so I may have it tomorrow!

The order I placed last Wednesday arrived on Tuesday - 3 caps, one of which has been sent back as not all mediums are the same size.

The order I placed last Friday was delivered yesterday, wife has gone to collect from the sorting office today. Should be a Randa in black, will find out tonight.

At least they do free returns.

The Vulpine sale has finished, but there's some socks still on offer @ £2/pair instead of £12.

I sent my Randa back, not happy with the fit in the arms and neck, material is quite stiff too.

Anyway, EXTRA-TEN gives you another 10% off sale prices at Rapha this week, that should signify the last amount of discount to be applied to the sale, I bagged a back pack for £54.

BikeBiz said:
Aldi has announced that as part of its Specilbuys series, the chain will soon release its own range of cycling products, which will be available in-store from September 28th.

The range features a host of products including an indoor bike trainer, priced at £49.99 and listed as, “the perfect addition to any garage,” a camera bike light which is set to retail at £39.99 with eight gigs of memory, a set of front and rear LED lights – no mention of lumens – and ‘high performance’ lights with flashing or steady beams, retailing at £12.99 and 14.99 respectively.

The range also extends to clothing, with the official blurb stating, “Those brave enough to face the elements can choose from Aldi’s Cycling Rain Jacket at £19.99 or Winter Cycling Jacket at £16.99 – both available in three different sizes for men and women.” The clothing range also features cycling tights at £13.99 featuring ‘wind-stopper fabric’ and reflective detailing, and waterproof over-trousers at £14.99.

The range extends to a clothing collection designed for, “more serious cyclists” who can, “up the ante with Aldi’s Merino clothing range.” A Cycling wind jersey with Merino will set you back £19.99, whilst a Merino sports base layer will cost £16.99.

A small range of cycling accessories is also available, including a rust-proof floor bike stand, a bike cover and maintenance spray from notable brand Muc-Off.

The range will be available in the UK from September 28th and according to Aldi, “once it’s gone it’s gone.”

I've never purchased clothing from Aldi, what should I expect? Looking to 'waterproof' up for this winter.

From experience, it's a "mixed bag" really.

Jackets seem to be OK, but I'm evidently not a 'normal' sized person, as none of their long tights/trousers fit me. Either far too tight around the thigh, or nice and snug there but excessively long.

For the price it's worth a go though...

I've bought a fair bit of their clothing. It's basic but not bad. Some things you only need infrequently so a big outlay doesn't seem worth it (please note, I am very stingy).

lobster claw gloves
They only come out when it's very cold so don't get a lot of wear, but I'm glad of them. Can't wear them in any thing much above freezing as I get too sweaty in them.

Cycling shoes
I bought some of their shoes to use on a spin bike in the work gym, for that they've been fine. The soles are a bit more flexible than a road shoe, but they're ok.

Leg warmers
These are fine, do the job!

Rain jacket
This packs up into a tiny fist sized pouch and I keep it in my pocket in case it rains. It's not very waterproof any more I don't think but keeps the wind off and the chill down without being too boil in the bag.

Winter jersey
Nice warm jersey, does the job

Winter jacket
Very warm, honestly, it's not significantly worse to wear than my rapha soft-shell, maybe a tiny bit less ventilation and hence harder to regulate temp but pretty good never the less.

Socks
As good as any other ones I have.
