Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

The aldi stuff is better than you'd expect for the price.

It will fall apart eventually but the 'cost per wear' is hard to beat.

Most of my favourite kit is Lidl or Aldi. Between the two, I tend to prefer Lidl since I've found Aldi's kit to be generally thicker/warmer and more expensive.

Mave: I find Aldi's sizing quite small, so try things on if you can.

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 :-)

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!!!
