More Aldi walking gear

I bought a new merino vest from Aldisüd (Germany) recently, an undershirt not a waistcoat. It cost about 20 €, which in comparison to the prices charged by more mainstream outdoor shops is a gift. It has been worn both in the field and on our normal day to day mooching about. It has been regularly washed in a machine and is showing no signs of wear. Although the winter was mild we had a few wet and cold days and we chose one of these to be out and about. No clothing in our price range is completely waterproof under those conditions. Although my waterproof had leaked water onto my shirt thanks to the ALDI vest my core was still warm. I can recommend the vests highly
