There’s a fresh new look, too, with designs created in partnership with European experts, incorporating some of the biggest ski trends from around the world.

They also include more sustainable features and are now made using 100 percent recycled outer polyester and plastic zips and 75 percent recycled fibre padding.

Why is the sale so popular?

Apart from the affordable price point, the snow gear is good quality.

“While price and affordability are on everyone’s minds this year, we have also ensured that every item in our range meets the highest benchmarks. We work with our partners across the globe to create high-quality products across every layer, and now in more sizes than ever,” Rodney Balech, Aldi’s Group Director for National Buying says.

“Each item is embedded with innovative technology that is built to provide top-of-the-line durability and comfort in all conditions, so you can feel assured that both you and your budget will feel great carving down the slopes in this year’s range.”
