Hi all has anyone bought a bike jacket from Lidl,s or Aldi if so can the hard pads be removed ?and are they windproof/water proof

That's Japanese built bikes for you!
In my day we left our British built bikes out in all weathers, without so much as a hat on, never mind a jacket.

They have waterproof suits with no protectors in to go over your clothes in our local Aldi.

Hi, haven't got the jacket, but I did buy the trousers, and they are first rate, fully wind proof, with removable lining, don't know about waterproof yet, :-) Cheers Ray

I bought the snow suit from aldi as i couldnt see how the pads came out of the bike stuff. I dont think they do.

The snow jackets are bloody good. Iv just driven to work in my locost and was actually sweating as there was no wind coming through.

I have just been to Aldi and they only had 2 medium size jackets so to small for me but i did look to see if the pads are removable and they are
