What sort of socks are you buying? Merino or regular? I was fearful of getting in the ring today might have a look tomorrow.

I have the Aldi Socks, along with Burton too!!!!!

Best socks I’ve owned are the Boardworld (3CS Made) socks that ya get on here!!!!!

Wore them in Japan for the whole month last Feb, even though I took Burton ones along too!!!!!

I had Burton socks and they were shithouse…waste of $50. I found some in a chalet no name ones which were amazing and pink in colour.

I hear the BW ones are amazing!

Wow that is hectic busy ^

I’m liking the compression pants, might get another pair.

Decent amount of compression? I might try and snag some tomorrow.

I had the Aldi socks last year.  Both were good but I actually preferred the synthetic ones for their fit.

Ran into RPS at Blair Atol Aldi.
Went to exchange PinkPrincesses boots (to small) and she decided she wanted the matching jacket to the pants she got - not a single jacket or gloves in her size at 3 different stores.

Almost grabbed the Walkie Talkies - talked myself out of them.
Carried the last pair of green mens pants (with braces) to the checkout but there were to many people with only two cashiers so I dumped the pants and left.

They seem pretty good to me, but I’ve never worn compression clothing until now.

I’m swapping mine for a smaller size tomorrow if I get a chance.

Was at Miranda today so popped my head into Aldi. Fair bit of stuff left. I was interested in the pants but didn’t bother once I noticed they were insulated.

On the way out I spotted the chains and they had a set with my tyre profile listed. After confirming I could return them if I didn’t have enough clearance on my car (from what I’ve read suspect I will have issues) but for $40 figured they were worth a shot.

The drysdale store (surf coast victoria) was very civil on saturday. A few punters and plenty of everything, I guess thats the good thing about a small regional store. I bought some chains as thats all i needed

The Bairnsdale store had a fair bit of stuff out yesterday and even more out today.

Did you get a snowbike for the shred?

I should have mentioned getting smaller size compression gear than the size you wear.

Will do when my next invoice is paid

 

I wish I had gotten the smaller size compression pants.
