Aldi have produced an exact copy of the Rapha pink mesh base layer with the Dog Latin wording. Cost £6.99. Katy Cookabura review has them broadly the same piece of clothing. Approx forty quid less than Rapha price. Also picked up socks, mitts and two Muc Off products. Change from a twenty. The mitts I failed to notice have to be pulled on and off without opening at all.

Ha, yes, I tried the mitts and struggled to get them off. They have tiny pull tags but you'd need tweezers to use them.

@cyclingmollie, yes, I am just going to keep them on.

I thought this was a new Lady Gaga song.

Is there a link to the base layer online and are they available in store now?

@galaxy, I bought mine in Chesser Aldi yesterdsy. I am size 15 collar, medium in some things, large in Rapha. I went large, it is not tight but not baggy. I am thinking I could have gone medium if there were no larges but if I had the choice I would still go laRGE.
i HOPE THIS HELPS. i FIND THE aldi website a bit odd. So have not searcheed it sorry.
As it is pink I inmagine you will get one.
I think it is virtually identical to the rapha product. Not worn it in anger yet but off with it to Arran tomorrow. I would pass on the gloves.

Do you think that if you found any problems with it Rap ha might repair it for you under their warranty?
:o)

@amir, the short sleeve version seems to be only available in pink but there's a white version which is sleveless iirc.

those white rapha vest base layers start good but inexplicably always end up looking like you've washed the pub urinal floor with them
