Cold Weather Running Gear

Running Shoes/Running Gear Apparel

11 years ago 11/28/2012 11:49am EST

I'm looking to do running outside, but it's been getting too cold for shorts and a t-shirt. Does anyone have any recommendations for cold weather gear? I have a friend who gets me a discount at Under Armour's site so I've been looking into their gear if anyone has used their products.

This is one of the shirts I've been looking into:

I'm not sure if this would be better, or if I should be looking at base layer clothing.

How cold is cold?

For some it is 15F others is 45F.

Typical dead of winter for me is 0-20 degrees F with a 10-20mph wind

Theory. Many people wear as little as they can tro prevent numbness, but I am of the theory that it should feel like a 70 or 80 degree day. No shame in sweating excessively as long as you are dressed properly.

I typically wear:

-normal socks/shoes

-half tights w/ tights over (some people use wind briefs)

-heavy tight fitting long sleeve, and running jacket rated for

It's pretty simple. You can get off-brand tights at a good price from eastbay, both uppers and lowers.

You obviously can get long sleeve and short sleeve cotton tees from races or Target, etc.

You still have your running shorts + cheap hat and gloves from target.

With this combination you can adjust to any weather. Here is my scale in F

15-32 Tights, bottom and upper, long sleeve tee, shorts, hat and gloves

32-40 tights upper, short sleeve tee, shorts, (sometimes hat) gloves

40-50 shorts, long sleeve Tee

50+ short and tech tee

I do hope those shorts don't find themselves being worn over your tights.

I'd say it's typically 10-30F around here. It's not too bad, but it's definitely cold for me. Thanks for the advice, I'm definitely looking to stay away from things like sweats due to the bulkiness, so those are good ideas.
