Anyone tried the Aldi running gear range? Certainly looks good value for money.

 

[hammerite]

Yep, I've got shorts, socks, leggings and flashy arm band things. All very good quality and very cheap. Although I do have a problem with the leggings in that the ankle zip sometimes comes loose and undoes itself, not that it bothers me too much.

Apparently they have a whole new range coming out at the beginning of March, typically I'm on holiday, but I don't really need any new kit at the moment.

I think the consensus is that as long as you steer clear of the shoes, it is good quality stuff and yes, great value.

I buy Aldi running gear... it's good quality and at sensible prices. Looking forward to March

What's happening in March?

 

[Trinity]

Aldi's latest range of running gear...that's what

 

[chrisity]

i use an aldi hat that is very good, covers the ears but isn't too heavy, cost 2 quid, and the gloves for the same price that are nice and light so that you can take them off after about 2 miles and carry them. i also recommend lidl socks that are great value, and my water bottle is also from their on a belt with 2 zip pockets that really fits well into the small of your back and is ideal for long runs. cost 3 quid. i wouldn't touch lidl running tracksters, shorts and vests as they chafe and are weird shapes (or are the germans built that way?), but aldi tracksters are fine.

Thanks for that info about Lidl... I've often thought of trying their stuff but will give it a miss now

 

[ajtuna]

Lidl is a great place for German lagers

 

[Ailsa]

I have some Aldi running stuff which I love... Also have some Lidl stuff which rarely gets worn as I don't like the fit or the material it is made from

 

[Mr Happy]

I wish they did the Aldi stuff in Black - cos its just as good as some of the stuff I paid several times more for but doesn't look as good

 

[steepler]

As my old boss used to say.....
'Buy Cheap,Buy Twice'!

 

[chrisity]

next week they are doing microwave splatter covers for 79p. doesn't help your running but they are very useful for your paster party before.

All the Aldi stuff I have (shorts, leggings and socks) are in black, guess it's just pot luck what they have in when you go.

Some great value stuff there! Think I'll be late for work on Thursday morning

 

[chrisity]

I wonder how many miles you could do in their technical jogging shoes? If it is over 60 they might work out cheaper than my kayano's.

 

[everest2005]

Did anyone pick anything up? Whats the quality like?

 

[Trinity]

It's good quality wicking kit everest... I topped up with a short sleeve top, tights and socks this time. I've bought quite a lot of running gear from Aldi in the past and no complaints.

 

[Dronach]

Fantastic gear, highly recommended. Got socks (v comfy), lycra shorts (amazingly comfy) and tights (won't know til tomorrow). Sizes can be a bit big (I'm a Nike large, but Aldi medium) but for the prices complete and total bargains.
