[quote=Nowada]Just got sierra trading latest deal flyer email. Can purchase Columbia ski jacket for $35 and pants $28, plus delivery of about $40. There are many other quality manufacturers similarly priced on the site. Deal key code is USP4785N (extra 45% off), for those interested. I only looked at boys size 10 as a comparison. This is really good gear and would cost $100's in Australia. [/quote]

I know its an older post but can anyone confirm that discount key?
And going to the melbourne city aldi tomorrow hopefully they at least have some socks left...

Guys don't be nasty about aldi, it serves a purpose. It's awesome for the first day skier, by all accounts it's awesome for ski shops and it delivers some good product to ski families. We pay way too much for ski gear in aus, power to them.

Was at Winston Hills aldi this afternoon they had plenty of helmets etc left

Welcome to the Forum Tritters

That deal has long gone . The current one is 50% off already discounted gear. Key code is UNF3777V. It should last another day. I'll be interested if they will ship what you want. Name brands are cracking down on what STP are allowed to send here.
Socks and thermals at aldi are pretty good.

Finally got to Aldi Shellharbour today - daughter unit got a new jacket and pants - very warm with plenty of pockets - if like the current set they wear as well then they should last a few seasons. A few pairs of socks were left and the Philip Adams polo neck skivies were still about - got a red one for myself and a fluoro green for the son - he was stoked. Though his pants were a tad small and will be returned along with the junk quality ipod speakers - but it's always a bit hit and miss with Aldi - sometimes it's a quality bargain - sometimes you wonder why they bother stocking the junk. Still think they should sell boards and skis for kids - they will hit the right price point for families who want to go a couple of weekends a year and don't want to pay top dollar for 2 day hire.

Actually just got a new deal in from Sierra trding post. 60 to 90% off key code is UMZ5369W.

At it again with BC gear this time!

I hope nobody dies as a result of a rubbish tent and sleeping bag!

I'd say that most Aldi tents and sleeping bags wouldn't make it much further than the backyard

However the wording "Extreme Condition Hiking Tent" does make me LAWL

They could be fine, but for $69 its hard to imagine.

It would take some knackers or a few very easy escape BC trips before I would rely on it in "Extreme Conditions".
