Online store for decent Running clothes ?

[Instructor57]

So, it's getting colder , might need to find something other than shorts and t-shirt for the colder mornings, any advice for a good online running store ?

[Roxdog Graduate]

Not sure about men's running gear, but I got some clothing from a firm called similar, who make their clothing from recycled stuff (not sure what, but it's good clothing, moisture wicking etc).

Happy hunting!

[Roxdog Graduate in reply to Roxdog]

Sorry , autocorrect changed the spelling, it's called Scimitar!

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Roxdog]

Thanks , will take a look ! 👍

[Jools2020 Graduate]

I’m not much help, I got my running tights and long sleeved top from Tesco 😂.

Sports Direct is always worth a look.

I got my waterproof running jacket from SportsShoes.com.

Decathlon have some good stuff, just bought a chest torch from them!

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Jools2020]

Ok thanks , I'll take a look 👍

[Birdlady64 Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

Not sure about mens but I find Decathlon really strange sizing wise. Maybe it's just me but if you can find something that fits they're very competitive price wise. I'd probably look there more for accessories hats/gloves etc

This running business can be an expensive hobby 😂

I need to source long sleeved top and waterproof jacket.

I've heard people opt for cycling jackets for the extra length at the back and plenty of pockets - plus they can be cheaper than specialist running jackets

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Birdlady64]

Yes, I have just had a look at decathlon, they don't gave much in the way of men's clothing unfortunately,

Found a bit more on sports shoes.com

And yes, I have cycling jacket and trousers so might give them a go tomorrow and see how they are . 👍

[nowster Graduate in reply to Birdlady64]

The problem I find with long sleeved tops with thumb holes is that my arms are too long for my thumbs to fit in the thumb holes. 🤬

[acountrycabbage Graduate in reply to Birdlady64]

Agreed, their sizing is mental, even accounting for the EU change. I’ve got some great simple running tops from them though for £3.99!👌🏼

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Jools2020]

Actually, sports shoes.com look ok for men's gear, just can't bring myself to order men's tights though 😂😂😂

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

You must! Or you won’t be a real runner 😂. I promise you’ll get used to them very quickly and you’ll wonder why you hesitated !

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Jools2020]

Am I supposed to wear shorts over them ? 🤔 😂🦵

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

Only if you’re Superman 😂

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Jools2020]

Hmm....🤔

[nowster Graduate in reply to Jools2020]

It might be advisable for modesty 😉. I have obtained some running tights, but I'm reserving them for when it gets properly cold.

[Birdlady64 Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

No no no!

[Dexy5 Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

At parkrun there’s a mix of shorts over tights and just on their own. Depends how you feel.

[Hidden in reply to Instructor57]

Always always shorts over tights!!!

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Really ??

[Ian5K Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

Hey, I have tights. I prefer them to shorts, can’t wait for the cold weather. 😁

No, I wear them instead of shorts, not with them.

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Ian5K]

Ahh ok, thanks 👍😬

[Birdlady64 Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

You can get 2-in1s actually if you insist

sportsdirect.com/karrimor-x...

Personally I don't think it's a good look but up to you ☺️

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Birdlady64]

Hmm.....agree , not good 😂

[Smile23 Graduate]

Just been recommended wiggle.com by a friend 😁

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Smile23]

Thanks, I'll have a look 👍

[SuperKat1974 Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

Wiggle always seems to have good sales/clearance lines going - worth keeping an eye on! 👍

[nowster Graduate in reply to Smile23]

Try wiggle.co.uk instead? The .com site is for the USA.

[Smile23 Graduate in reply to nowster]

Woops🙃

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Smile23]

I knew what you meant 👍 thanks

[chunkypie Graduate]

I've been looking today and no one seems to have stock above small 😕

[John_W Graduate]

StartFitness.co.uk - always have great sales. Very good service too.

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to John_W]

Thanks John, i'll take a look 👍

My other half wears decathlon. He’s generally one full size bigger than he really is. It’s great. I went on Friday and literally kitted him out with a mid layer, two long sleeve tops, two pairs of running pants, a pair of running underpants for £130 as a birthday gift, and they’re all moisture wicking designed for running and they wash well. He’s been using their summer clothes aswell. The only thing they didn’t have was the caps for the rain so I ordered those online when I got home. I wear the ladies tops and again have had no problems.

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Magicfairy11]

Many thanks , I'll take a look ! 👍

Thank you ! 👍

[JulesL69 Graduate]

Hi. I use wiggle and have found them very competitive.

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to JulesL69]

Many thanks 👍

[Nilsam Graduate]

Hi I found TK Max online had a few pieces...just a case of keeping looking if your size is available. Good look.

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Nilsam]

Ok thanks !

[Health2020 Graduate]

Like others I’ve bought from decathlon and Sainsbury’s; my latest top came from Adidas when they had a 25% off, plus I added an additional code to it and got the top for about £5.00 or something similarly low prized! Happy shopping!

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Health2020]

Thanks for the suggestions 👍

[Fleetnot Graduate]

I agree with suggestion of TK Maxx...just bought 3 items for £35 and saved £160.. might be last year's or odd colours but squirrels haven't complained so far. I rarely meet other humans on a run!

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Fleetnot]

Nice one ! Good saving , I'll have a look 👍

[msmuffintop]

I found I could run all year all I needed was the right gear, Nike has winter running gear and you can find it at their website or where ever Nike clothes are sold. Also Under Armour (which also has its own website)

Specifically I use a headband in the winter to keep my ears warm and a short sleeve shirt over a long sleeve one and sweatpants replace shorts. Silk is warmer than cotton and very thin, as a base layer. REI has base layers in smartwool and silk (and a website).

In the worst weather I'll wear a Columbia zip up jacket over my running shirt plus a scarf around my face. Despite the cold, once you get moving you usually feel about 10 degrees warmer than the actual temp, so if it's 30 degrees out - you can dress as if its 40. . . hope that helps

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to msmuffintop]

Thank you for your informative reply !

You have given me a few things to consider 🙂👍

[Legsy0714]

Don't know about today, but you couldn't go wrong with sports direct for good brands at fair prices.

Some of the walking/climbing gear at trespass ideal. Don't forget most heat escapes via your head! So a light snood is good. I got a decent one in trespass sale

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Legsy0714]

Thanks for your suggestion 👍

[Hidden]

Ebay definitely has bargains, rummage through the brands I've just aquired a brand new ronhill running jacket for £15 a real steal 👍

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Thanks 👍
