inexpensive running clothes (Read 2677 times)

If you want to go even cheaper then check out Sierra Trading Post http://www.sierratradingpost.com/ They usually have Hind gear at greatly reduced prices - often running shorts and shirts in the $5 range.

+1 on Sierra Trading Post Also Marshalls and TJ Maxx [owned by the same parent] have great cheap technical wear. [Sure it will be in a color that will allow you to be seen from space ... who cares?]

I am all for the super-mega-discount on tech gear, but READ THE LABELS b/c many more of them have cotton, especially the ones at Kohls. I tend to find better deals and lower prices at TJMaxx/Marshalls and target.com clearance and Sierra Trading Post, but read the comments sections about fit, etc.

LOL - So true! Why do they even make those colors? Just for us penny-pinchers that scrounge around at the discount places?

actually is so that the penny pinchers are easily ID'd by thieves and allowed to pass unharmed

In stores that I visit, Target puts their Champion stuff on clearance every fall. I have quite a few shirts from Target, all of which cost no more than $5 each and some as low as $2.

Yup. Every fall I load up for the next year at Target.

JC Penney's has a line called SB Active (St. John's Bay) that is pretty good. My favorite shorts are SB Active - paid $9.99 for them and they have been washed about a hundred times. Nordstrom Rack has a lot of branded clothes cheap (especially when they are running their 75% off the lowest price sale). I buy Sugoi and Danskin on Ebay (and loads of Asics socks). Just bought a rockin' top made by Tail Tech for $4.99 (though I bought that for golf).

Mikeymike, Thanks for making me laugh this morning!!! I have some of those interesting race face photos also! I love Ross for finding cheap running stuff.

Wow, this place has cheap stuff! Are they irregular or normal I wonder.

I'm pretty sure they're normal. I got a running skirt there last year for $11 and I love it.

Maybe - but probably not - I've gotten a few things from there and all seemed good quality and I didnt see any irragularities........ Another thing I do is to check out the stores like Dicks, Sports Authority and Running Stores but off season.....or in other words, go looking for your winter running clothes now...becasuse they end up with really good (name brand - that is if you care about that) stuff, but they need to get rid of it and so there are often really good deals......This past year I got a really top quality pair of winter running tights for $20 (normal price tag was $75)...... But you need to buy your summer stuff in October/November and your winter stuff in Mar/Apr - so you have to think ahead just a little.
