Salomon Bargains

A trip into town yesterday to see the latest Batman movie resulted in some new running kit courtesy of the Tiso sale. Unlike a lot of ‘sales’ of late, there were some substantial reductions to be had and I came home with his ‘n’ hers (for the wife!) Salomon Rx Break Sandals which should be useful pre and apres run. An added bonus was a Salomon XR Jacket, a lightweight running shell, coming in at half the recommended RRP.
