Aldi thermal trousers - special purchase.
Aldi thermal trousers - special purchase.
Warm, breathable, comfortable. A great buy at £10.99.

Default Aldi thermal trousers - special purchase.
ALDI - Thursday Special Buys 30th September 2010

I've had a pair of these trousers for a year, and worn them regularly throughout last Autumn and Winter, and this Spring (until it warmed up) for dog-walking.

They've come out of the cupboard ready for the cold weather - good as new.

These are an Aldi "Special Buy". This means they only supply a few pairs to each Store once a year, so if you want some arrive early on Thursday.
They are light, a good fit, well-made, warm, and teflon-coated (shrugs dirt off, most of it anyway)
They are also quiet in the field (good for bird-watching/shooting etc).

They are easily comparable to £50 outdoor trousers I've bought in the past.

£10.99 - worth every penny.

You will be needing thermal longjohns too for when it is cold. I've used them for many months including the "summer", i like them, the price is good, but i don't find them warm enough in "proper" cold weather.

Just bought a pair of thermal trousers from ALDI £10.99 be aware they are a generous fit; and elasticated waist, I bought the small size, I like a snug fitting! I'm 5ft.11in tall, have a 31in waist, and the pair I bought fit nicely!

You'll need to be quick though, they're selling fast! Well worth the money!

Bl**dy hell Mostyn, you must be a snake hips, I've just bought some in medium (5ft 10in, 34/31) and they fit comfortably over my suit trs plus are the right length. (Tried them on in the shop with a cpl of grannies advising on how they looked - no shame these Geordies eh? ). I'm planning to wear them over my Columbia fleece winter trs and even with long johns too as a 3 layer system if it gets Baltic.
On their own they'll be ok for general walking etc on those days when you're never sure if you need overtrousers.

Cracking troosers well worth the money, warm and dead comfy.

Me to, I read this thread; and on Mostyn's advice, went strait to Aldi, also tried them on in store, with advise from onlookers!! " look nice don't they, keep you warm them will,etc" were the comments. Bought the ladies medium size, all the men's medium sizes were sold out. Good value, IMO
