If you work out/run in the cold...

what do you wear?

Today was much colder than the past few days (I'm upstate) and it was ok while running, but really cold while walking. Are there certain brands that are better than others? TIA!

Re: If you work out/run in the cold...

i have some Nike coldgear and Under Armor stuff...i hate the cold so i kind of "overdress" but use lots of layers. it is so not attractive but if it is REALLY cold or windy i wear one of those face masks/hoods. it works so well in bitter weather. gloves, running tights with another pair of pants over them, Thorlo running socks (love these), a tank,half zip Nike pulloever, my northface running jacket and maybe a vest too. it's a lot of clothes, but again i HATE to be cold while out for a run. do you have snow where you are? right now i would kill to run outdoors but with all of this snow i don't think i'll see pavement til March

Re: If you work out/run in the cold...

Yes there's definitely lots of snow up here but there is a long road near me which is pretty wide, so I am on the road, alongside the snowbanks. The sidewalks are ok, but then there will be one that's really bad, and then its screws me up, so I'm on the pavement. I don't mind the cold so much, but its a bit too cold now. 45 degrees would be perfect for me

I'm going to look into some of the things you posted, thanks...especially the socks!

Re: If you work out/run in the cold...

coldgear stuff i wear about 2-3 tops and a pair of pants, gloves, hat/facemask. i am never cold



these are the best gloves ever!!!!!!!!!!
