Between the two, I tend to prefer Lidl since I've found Aldi's kit to be generally thicker/warmer and more expensive. Mave: I find Aldi's sizing quite small, so try things on if you can.

I am a size 16 in normal stuff and the women's large all fitted fine, only thing that didn't fit was socks (I am a 4 and the 4-7 were hooooge). Thanks bigleggy

It was very exhilarating running in the rain - but I did get sore nips. I then forgot about the nips after the shower and sprayed the deodorant all over - OUCH!!!
