    Hugh Jarse, I`ve tried some of the stuff, not bad for the money, It`s not as good as the more expensive gear but it does the job if your on a budget.
    The stuff is usually from Crane sports who advertised in the running mags a while ago, not sure if they still do.
    I might have a look and see what s on offer.(my wife hates it when I pull into Aldi carpark, Unless it`s for running gear of course).

    Just had a look at the website and the stuff looks quite good, In the past I`ve had a lot of the clothing but this time I might bite the bullet and try the running shoes for my morning runs with the dog.
    The last ones I bought were Asics and cost £70 and started falling to bits very quickly. Will report back in a few weeks with my findings.

    Got to agree with you, bought some running gear from Aldi the other year and is still going strong. If your into cycling to look out for the cycling gear as well which also is great value for money.

    Sorry I believe you get what you pay for.

    I've had some of there stuff and I think it's very poor, I've a yellow cycling jacket, which is as breathable as a plastic bag, I've tried the cycling tights and to find the right leg length, the waist must have been 48".

    Didn't Crane sports get done for advertising there clothing as being gore tex or something a few years back?
