I have four, All cheap. I have a pic of me in the cheapo but goodie Aldi one £6.99 on this thread from just before Christmas ish

A Karrimor one from Sportsdirect, a gift in Nov 2014 £18.99

My first one was An Aldi fluoro yellow. Cheap as chips but no pockets!

My latest one is also Karrimor, a reflective one, with a hood. Another birthday gift but it was dearer at £34.99. Lots of pockets inside and out on this one.

The dearest one is the least water resistent, sadly.

None of them are waterproof or wind resistant. You can get those as they are required for more serious extremes like fell running etc. Or for those running in much colder climes

Look out for next Aldi run sale. Lidl too. At Aldi i got the matching run cap with a light in the brim. It’s yonks old but the light is going well as is the cap. It was £3.99

My pal has a really nice looking winter run jacket from primark. It’s off-white and very reflective

I think I posted a pic of my latest Karrimor X-lite here too, about mid November if you want to search

If you look on Sportsdirect -you will see loads of choice and what’s available for a good price You don’t have to buy there but they have a good lot of choice of many brands in one place so it’s an easier job to find what you’re after

Ron Hill is a good brand but you’ll pay more for those 🙂👍
