Stay warm with cold-weather running gear
Winter running gear is designed to protect you from the elements by preserving warmth and regulating moisture when the temperature drops. Cold-weather running gear is more than extra clothing. These items provide essential protection that helps you perform and run in comfort, even when it's freezing out.
What's the best gear for winter running?
The best winter running gear blocks wind and water, while keeping you warm, dry and comfortable. From winter running shoes and apparel to a hat to keep you warm, these items are designed to support year-round training, even in the cold and dark.
Cold-weather running gear has you covered from top to bottom. Your winter running outfit might include fleece-lined running tights, a running jacket that wicks away moisture while keeping in warmth, gloves, hats and winter running shoes and socks.
Look for reflective details on your winter running clothes that make you easier to see during early-morning and evening runs.
How to layer up for winter running
The ideal way to get the best performance from running gear for cold weather is to dress in layers. You're most likely to be coldest at the start of your run. As you work up a sweat, you can remove layers to stay comfortable. At the end of your run, you can put some layers back on to avoid getting chilled.
The way most runners layer winter-weather running gear is to start with a skin-tight base layer that holds in heat and wicks away moisture. Wool blends are often ideal.
Your middle layer might be an insulated sweater, light jacket or half-zip top. Add a wind- and water-resistant top layer, then finish out your winter running outfit with a hat and gloves. You may need snow running gear when flakes are falling.
Being wet is being cold, so waterproof outer layers are essential in fog, sleet and even a drizzle.
What shoes are best for running in cold weather?
The best shoes for running in cold weather are winter running shoes designed to handle extreme weather conditions. Wearing your regular running shoes in winter conditions can be uncomfortable and even dangerous.
Winter running shoes with water-resistant or waterproof uppers that include insulation prevent frostbite. Outsoles with added traction keep you sure-footed on snow and ice.
