Ok, but apart from selling jackets with knives in them and sword sticks they do a good line in outdoor clothing.

I'd better qualify the last part of that.  If you don't mind browsing the racks of hoodies, baggy trousers with glitter on them (looks like dried spunk) and other cheap illegal immigrant tat clothing you can find some bargains.

I've picked up two top range Sprayway hillwalking jackets at £50 each, a thick Lowe Alpine windproof fleece £50 and a Craghoppers pull on shell jacket for£20 (!).  And I wouldn't look anywhere else for trainers.  For running - not those gloss white things for chav weddings.  Or those hideous red trainer things with red honeycomb heels wth plastic red uppers and red laces that make you look like you're wearing a red Millenium Falcon on each foot. 

Some bargains provided you don't expect to come out with that drop tail, Pertex/eVent cycling jacket.  Oh, and you don't mind rubbing shoulders with some right nobbers.

I got some DC snowboarding boots for £40, Lowe Alpine Cycling jacket, Berghaus fleece layers, some brilliant New Balance trail running shoes, in fact it's generally my first shopping choice...decent clothes at decent prices you've just got to trawl...thankfully I love shopping and adore dressing up in shit tat they have lying around doing it. 

Ok shitty Max isn't exactly the coolest place to shop but if it fits where else can you buy a calvin klein suit for £200?
