shovel leaner 7,650 Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 A keeper mate of mine had a green fishing coat from Aldi , and said for the money it was excellent. I told him if his Mrs sees any more in there to pick one up for me . This she did and I’ve had it two seasons of very hard use . Feeding pheasants every morning during winter. If it’s pissing down it’s my “go to “ coat . And I’ve got Deerhunter coats , Musto and Seeland . It’s starting to lose a bit of it’s waterproofing now . But for £19.99 I can recommend them . I wouldn’t wear it on shoot day , but for knocking about and work , I reckon they are brilliant. The make is Crane , never heard of them ? Nor me , who cares , keep your eye out for the next time they are in Aldi and stock up . I know I will . 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nicepix 5,650 Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 The older Aldi stuff was fantastic value. I have a waterproof coat and a fishing bag marked Crane and they are still sound after 12 years. Best value were their fishing reels. A Crane 3000 baitrunner for £11. It is exactly the same reel as a Daiwa costing four times as much. Same with power tools. Their own make was exactly the same as Bosch. Same spec'. Sadly their cheap stuff is now just cheap stuff.

This coat was purchased in winter 2019 , it’s about to do its third winter . Which for a £20 coat I think is fantastic value. If it’s very wet weather I’ve got about three coats that are alternating drying off , and it’s the Aldi coat that I go to first in preference to the deerhunter etc .

dytkos 17,935 Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 Aldi do a lot of Crane branded stuff, from knee supports to tile cutters lol I got a hoody from there about 10 years back, was almost my favourite till I got paint on it Cheers, D. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
