Offering hiking gear from just €3.99, we check out what you can expect from the LIDL hiking range 2018 which is due to hit the shelves this week.
Lidl have really started dipping their toes into the adventure sector of late. They released their own ski gear over the winter and now for the spring/summer season ahead they have gone and released their own line of hiking gear. The goods will hit the shelves this Thursday 8 February. We all know that outdoor gear can get a tad expensive and we’re all for the big quality brands. However, if you’re skint and lack of gear is stopping you from getting out there on the many stunning hikes, trails and mountains of Ireland, then we definitely advise getting to Lidl this week and picking up the basics for bargain basement prices. From fleeces, hiking boots and jackets to head torches, flasks and heart monitors, here’s what’s in store from tomorrow onwards.
Price: €19.99

I have some Crivit walking poles which I use for hiking and for walking around town. I use them so much that the rubber ferules are wearing down rapidly. Is it possible to buy spare ferules? And I’m terrified of losing the clip which holds the poles together for storage. Do you sell either of these accessories separately? If so, where can I buy them?
Thank you.
