mulbs Oct 2012 10:36am, 11 Oct 2012 7,361 posts	0 mulbs went to Aldi, bought loads! jackets 'n' tops 'n' winterstuff. everythign was fab - they are stresing that their running kit zips are YKK so perhaps zips were an issue before? I am a size 16 in normal stuff and the women's large all fitted fine, only thing that didn't fit was socks (I am a 4 and the 4-7 were hooooge). Thanks bigleggy

Nick Cook Oct 2012 4:11pm, 11 Oct 2012 10,031 posts	0 Nick Cook Well, I say it doesn't hurt. I've just been out in a vest (and shorts, socks and shoes) and got soaked. It was very exhilarating running in the rain - but I did get sore nips. I then forgot about the nips after the shower and sprayed the deodorant all over - OUCH!!!
