Aldi Launch 2016-17 Ski Range This Thursday

Aldi Launch 2016-17 Ski Range This Thursday

Published : 22-Nov-2016 02:21



Although the last full week in November has, in recent years, started to be dominated by 'Black Friday' deals, even in the ski holiday market, a slightly longer standing annual ski discount day is coming up too – supermarket chain Aldi launch their ski gear range for 16-17 from this coming Sunday, 27th November, and this year you can also pre-order online from Thursday, 24th November.

Aldi were one of the first to sell good quality, basic skiwear at very affordable prices. But they sell skiwear in the same way as other 'special's they run through the year. That is putting a lot of sock out on day one, on a first-come, first-served basis. Then once it's gone, it's gone.

Along with a full range of ski wear from thermals and socks to ski jackets and hats, this year's range also includes a budget action cam (£49.99) and ski helmets.

The camcorder is actually by far the most expensive item in the range with everything else priced from £1.99 (Children's fleece-lined hat) to £19.99 (ski jackets and helmets)

The camera has a 4k video resolution built in Wi-Fi, 32GB storage and waterproof casing, thrill seeking skiers can record and upload every move and the 170 degree wide angle lens will ensure that everything is captured with high precision. A 32GB card is included.

Aldi's Men's/Ladies' Ski Jacket (£19.99) comes complete with hip pockets, fleeced inside collar and in waterproof and windproof fabric. The jacket pairs perfectly with Aldi's Men's/Ladies Ski Trousers (£16.99), which have added padding for extra comfort, and Aldi's Ski Roll Neck Top (£3.99), which has a built in moisture management system, the company says.

Kids can also get a great deal with Aldi's skiwear range, with a full outfit from £35.94. This includes Children's Ski Salopettes (£8.99) which are available in a choice of pink, blue and grey and Aldi's Girls'/Boys' Ski Jacket (£12.99) which has multiple pockets for convenience. In addition, Aldi's Children's Roll Neck Top (£2.99) has a built in moisture management system to keep them feeling comfortable throughout their skiing experience.

For extra cold conditions, the range boasts a selection of Merino clothing available in an array of colours. The Merino range includes Men's/Ladies' Merino Zip Neck Top (£19.99), Merino Thermal Top (£14.99) and Merino Thermal Long Johns (£14.99).

Aldi's Men's/Ladies' Winter Boots (£14.99) come complete with thick fur and waterproof insoles, ideal for staying dry during a stroll in the snow. Little ones can stay snug too, with the Children's Snow Boots (£9.99), featuring a warm fleece lining, available in brown or tan.

Skiers can also look stylish on the slopes with a choice of Nordic inspired clothing. Aldi's Men's/Ladies' Nordic Midlayer (£19.99) features a breathable, two layer fleece-style sweater for added comfort. Also available is Men's/Ladies' Nordic/Alpine Knitwear (£14.99)

Skiers can complete their slope style with Aldi's extensive range of ski accessories and safety equipment. This Men's/Ladies' Ski Helmet (£19.99) has a tough shell helmet and cushioned chin pad, with kids also able to benefit from a Children's Ski Helmet (£16.99). What's more, skiers can see clearly even in adverse weather conditions with Aldi's Ski/Snowboard Goggles (£7.99), which feature anti-fog functionality and break-proof double lens with polycarbonate outer lens.

A range of quality accessories from Technical Ski Gloves (£4.99) and Mitts (£4.99) to 2pk Ski Socks (Adult £3.99, Children £2.99) and Cosy Socks/Slipper Socks (£2.99) means that Aldi has everything to keep cosy for ski season.

Aldi's Specialbuys Skiing range is available in stores nationwide from 27th November and can be pre-ordered online at www.aldi.co.uk from 24th November but be quick, as with all Specialbuys, once it's gone it's gone!
