Mave Oct 2012 5:28pm, 9 Oct 2012 162 posts	0 Mave not to get that jacket though, I should add. but to get the other gear. I have hi vis jackets already. i wanted something less fluorescent for a change!
SpicedApple Oct 2012 5:40pm, 9 Oct 2012 6214 posts	0 SpicedApple 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.

mulbs Oct 2012 10:36am, 11 Oct 2012 7361 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 10031 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!!!
mulbs Oct 2012 4:12pm, 11 Oct 2012 7372 posts	0 mulbs see, an aldi purchase would have saved your nips!
