Cheap winter running gear recommendations

DD265

I could do with a new pair of (womens) leggings and a 1/2 zip, long sleeved top for running. They're only temporary whilst my existing wardrobe is a bit snug so I can breathe properly which means I don't want to spend a lot. I love my existing Under Armour Cold Gear, but it's looking like £60+ for the two items right now and I can't justify it.

Advice on sizing would be useful too, I'm a 12 at the moment so would be buying medium in UA compression gear.

Any recommendations?

my local TK maxx had some good sports gear in recently, some was Under Armour, and other brands nice and thick and decent material quality, leggings were around £15.99 and tops about £20, but appreciate it can be a bit hit and miss with varying stock between stores

Sports direct have loads to pick from online. Should get those two items for well under £60.

Have a look at Decathlon, I think they sell online if there is no branch near you.

I also like Alpkit (website) but that might be a little bit more than you were hoping to spend.

Another vote for Decathlon - their kit is excellent, washes brilliantly and very reasonably priced indeed. In fact I've just added one of their half-zip "RunWarm" long sleeved tops to my christmas list!

Matalan used to do a single style of fleece-lined winter leggings each year - again they wash up really well and are super-cosy for really cold days. Not sure if it's something they still do though.

I forget about Decathlon - not used to having one nearby!

I did order a new sports bra at £23 (no compromising on brand there, though RRP is £40 so not a bad deal) so I'm going to see whether that's enough when it arrives, and if not, I'll check out Decathlon, Sports Direct and TK Maxx.

I used to run 10km regularly and I didn’t bother with special clothing, just tracksuit bottoms and a t shirt in warm weather, plus a sweat shirt in cold weather, items I pick up from sales and cheap shops. Oh and a fluorescent yellow bib.

I was surprised when a pair of new well known brand tracksuit bottoms split in the first week, Sports Direct refunded me and I spent the money on Nike ones at twice the price.

I did spent on good torches for night time running, worth the money.

I also like fitness, and I have prepared a lot of clothes and shoes for myself.

I ordered a lot of sportswear on Aliexpress. This is really a budget option, and these clothes are worn very well. You can find cool options on Amazon too. Ali has more cool prints on - the Chinese are very creative in this regard. Now, even if you look for disposable masks, the Chinese have a lot of stylish options. Since we are all obliged to wear masks, they must be fashionable.

For me it's Sports Direct and TkMaxx...covers all bases and at reasonable prices .Nike will always be a bit pricey but you get what you pay for(usually!).
