Dressing for a cold weather run can be a hassle. If you don’t wear enough, your feet and hands end up feeling like bricks before you generate enough body heat to ward off the shivers. Or you over dress and sweat like a wrestler in a rubber suit or shed clothes faster than a Chippendale dancer before reaching your first mile marker. Neither option makes for an ideal run.
I set out to find pieces that would provide warmth without bulk, be appropriate for various high-intensity winter workouts and maybe even function as a shoulder season piece—I’m all about good investments.
