It's that time of the year again!

Aldi snow gear sale is starting on Saturday 14 May.

For those who aren't familiar, Aldi do an annual special buys sale on snow gear. The gear, particularly the jackets and pants, are considered to be very good value for the low price. For those interested in heading over to the snow soon, it's worth having a browse of this stuff. Be aware though, the stores are usually known to be very busy on the mornings/afternoon of the sales, so be prepared.

General Notes:

  • Check previous year's post and comments for tips and useful discussion 2015 2014
  • Items seem pretty typical as previous years of Aldi snow sales. Although this only comes around once a year, and usually represents good value if you plan to head up to the snow a couple times at least (compared to renting).
  • The adults regular ski and snowboard jackets/pants are rated at 12,000mm for waterproofing. Personally, I have found this fine for normal snow sports.
  • The INOC premium ski jackets and pants are rated at 20,0000mm for waterproofing. This is an extremely high rating for the price it's going for.
  • I have checked out the helmets before, and personally, I am not a fan of the buckle. It has a latch that is very easily opened, which I think could be a problem in a bad fall (you don't want a helmet to pop off your head!). Perhaps others could add to this discussion below.

        They still need to be a bargain though.

      Agree! To be honest, some stuff is pretty expensive to be called bargain. They could be a decent product at this price though but they're not a great bargain or deal what we call here!!

  • freddofrog42 on 06/05/2016 - 18:11
    +13

    Ignoring the comments about the definition of bargain…

    In our experience Aldi Ski Gear has been consistently good for many years now. I've done 2 whole seasons in Chamonix with one of their jackets (bought here in Aus) and the only flaw was the need to re-sew one of the shoulder pads where you typically carry skis. It works, it gets the job done. It's all you need.

    My wife is an international ski instructor (BASI) and loves the more expensive brands for style/badge but even she appreciates the Aldi stuff, along with Quechua in Europe. She uses heaps of the Aldi basic stuff as her employers typically only provide a jacket etc.

    There's a lot of upselling in ski gear. Beware….

    Also. Most people really don't need thermals in Aus….

    Oh, an edit.. Many people will be warm enough if they just use a decent jacket along with sweat pants/tracky bots/joggers etc. Your legs typically stay pretty warm when moving.

        Yes. That look on my ski coach's face as I took off my helmet (having worn too many layers). My head was steaming.

      Just to clarify, don't go skiing in just trackies. I'm pretty sure freddo is talking about not needing thermals underneath them.

    • jleno on 14/05/2016 - 09:15

      Freddo - does your wife have any recommendations on which ski instructing course to take? (tried to PM you but couldn't).

    • sed8ed on 14/05/2016 - 11:17

      Well… in regards to thermals!

      If it's bluebird days… I agree, but if you're riding Eagle or Scott's chair on a fairly windy day at Falls Creek with medium visibility you'd be happy you had the thermals! Considering the cost of a lift ticket in Aus, you ride anything but a white out! I'll pack $30 thermals from Aldi as insurance! Each to their own!

  • Exec-Matrix on 06/05/2016 - 18:18

    Don't have an Aldi where I live but going to nz in a month. Would you say all these prices are bargains? Or well priced?

    • battler on 06/05/2016 - 18:23

      You won't find (new) gear of this quality cheaper, at the start of the season.

    • mudkipz on 07/05/2016 - 00:22
      +1

      Yeah, the gear is rated well and is very cheap compared to other stuff on the market.
      Here are a couple comparable mens ones I just found off Surfstitch going for much more here and here.
      Both are going for 200 bucks, and have a 10,000mm waterproof rating.
      The Aldi ones are at 12,000mm and are less than a third of the price.

      While waterproofing isn't the only thing you're after, the value you get out of this gear is pretty good if you're only going up a few times a year.

      If you can get to an Aldi somewhere, it's worth the effort if you got the time.

      • Exec-Matrix on 07/05/2016 - 07:35

        Thanks. I can only imagine though, on opening day of this sale, the clothing racks will be fully of people frantically trying to find their size.

  • hamwhisperer on 06/05/2016 - 18:26

    I emailed em this morning saying "man you guys never get in the Barely Basics long sleeve T, there wasn't enough stock last time and it's been a year, when will they be in next?"

    I go in today, hell of a coincidence, they are there. You think my size and colour is in stock tho?

      Colours? At this end of the market, why do you care?

      • Oliver on 06/05/2016 - 19:31

        Because I bought some in 2013 and 2015 and they were good colour schemes, this year not so much so I'll pass on renewing anything. Why do I care? Given the choice, I'd rather something nice looking than not. Duh?

    If you've never been to an Aldi snow sale then all I will say is it is a sight to behold and you better wear a mouthguard! It can get pretty crazy and not unusual to be 4 people deep and middle aged women throwing elbows and punches over a pair of ski pants!

      Saw a massive fight at my local Aldi last year during the snow sale

      2 ladies were going at it scratching, biting and pulling.

      Then their husbands/partners starting belting each other up

      It was a sight to behold

    If you are going try to be well prepared before hand with sizing and styles already in mind. Also get to the store well before opening and have your trolley ready to go and it doesn't hurt to have a helper with you. If you are taking kids to the snow and want kids gear and adult gear I would highly recommend that both parents go, one takes care of the kids stuff and one of the adults (or both kids as that stuff tends to go first).

    • DJ710 on 07/05/2016 - 08:41

    What's the difference between a snowboard jacket and a ski jacket?

    • bigspike on 07/05/2016 - 16:19
      +2

      It -can- be the length of the back of the jacket and how much it can come down your backside when you sit down on the snow. Some leave a space between the waist band off the pant and the bottom of the jacket. This can be a cold spot.

      It -can- just be market language and have no difference.

      It -can- simply be colour scheme.

      • powerhammer on 08/05/2016 - 01:49

        Fair enough, cheers!

      • anth0888 on 09/05/2016 - 22:43

        How about the difference in Snowboard pants vs Ski pants? They look almost identical!?

        • bigspike on 10/05/2016 - 07:30

          Sometimes snowboard pants have an extra bit above the waistband at the back to help close the gap when you sit, mostly it's just marketing speak.

        • anth0888 on 10/05/2016 - 13:58

    I read on in some snow areas that last time Aldi has the snow chains, they were found to be of inferior quality - eg Mount hotham apparently are taking exception to them - see: http://www.snowatch.com.au/forum/threads/7286-Aldi-snow-chai…

    Some snow areas discouraging their purchase.

      This is the first time I've actually seen that item featured. I don't think I've seen it in the past couple Aldi snow sales, so I think it could be new.

      • alannahold on 12/05/2016 - 00:37

        On last years list there was a '100L Split Level Roller Bag' which sounds the same

    Wow get in quick guys! Everything is selling like hotcakes and there aren't a lot of hotcakes.
    Went to Springvale South / Heatherton Road one there was maybe 10 pairs of INOC premium ski pants, only 3 medium. About 15 sets of INOC premium ski shell jacket.
    $9.99 merino accessories were all thrown together and altogether there were maybe 15 assorted accessories.

    If anyone missed out, I got ski pants brand new from ebay for $100 a few years ago. Best ski pants I've ever had - great waterproofing, warmth and a bit more stylish than these Aldi pants. Twice the price, but still heaps cheaper than any retail ski shops in Oz

    Should also mention, it's worth going back next day after the carnage. Lots of people try stuff on and find it doesn't fit, or they don't like the style and it's easily refunded. I've been back next day in previous year sales to find that what I couldn't get on the day was returned and put back out! It's worth it to drop in and have a quick rummage.

    Aldi staff also tidy up the bins and put everything back where it should be!

  • swings on 14/05/2016 - 12:09

    Oxford square still have decent choice at 11.30.

    I went at opening and was busy with families,mostly looking for kids and ladies stuff.

    I bought almost double to be sure of sizing ,will return tomorrow the rest.

    Quite happy with softshell complete for me and my partner.
    Ski mask is very good value, wool socks good too but not so cheap.
    Gloves are disposable quality, would stay on the cheap one, the premium model is not ab bargain.

    Merino s top is great quality, I strongly recommend merino wool instead of thermal, dry faster and smell less.

    Got helmets, but not so sure about the quality, I would not suggest it for kids.

    As a note, they have the wheat pillow hot\ cold for 9aud, great value and I find it very useful pre and after sport.

  • Puppythor08 on 14/05/2016 - 13:08
