Netti longs start at $79.95 RRP ('Mercury') and go up to
139.95 RRP ('Luna Wind Block'). Running tights end at
$79.95 (Nike) and you can get things like New Balance at
Rebel for $50.

I like them, the Pronix particularly, but I'm always open to
alternatives. Right now, with the weather starting to turn
(unlike most of the country, Melbourne has a real winter),
I'm looking at longs and long-sleeved jerseys (I think arm
and leg warmers are naff).

If I could afford Sugoi I would have bought the Netti
already.
