JennifersLost Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 The pounds are creeping back on. I have got to start jogging again but it's getting colder. What do you wear? I usually jog in sweatpants or leggings, but those aren't too warm. And what about on top. Do you wear light layers and just freeze at first. Or do you dress warmer and sweat? Help!

dirty ethel rackham Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I am not a jogger, but a walker. I wear runners tights under my warm up pants in the winter. We walk unless the wind chill is below zero. They keep my tush toasty. I also splurged on some runner's 2 in 1 mittens and my hands don't get cold. I may have to buy an underarmor shirt for the top. Now, these were not cheap, but it was money well spent! I may get these for dh for Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacy in NJ Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I wear running leggings under sweats, long sleeve tees and a sweat shirt, a hat and whatever gloves I can find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose in BC Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 When it's rainy or slushy, I wear my leggings under rain pants with a gortex jacket. When it's dry but cold I usually wear a long sleeve shirt (wicking material) under a jacket (I just can't think of the fabric right now, cloth but not fleece), a toque and gloves. In the dead of winter, when I've gone running during blizzardy weather, I wear everything :001_smile:, leggings (maybe even with leotards underneath them), waterproof pants, cloth jacket thingy and gortex on top. And my yak traks. Best investment I made when I started being serious about exercise. I am usually freezing when I start out but after a few metres I'm warming up.

momofkhm Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Down to about 30 degrees, in the dark, I can wear running tights, thick socks, a long sleeve shirt and wind breaker type jacket. Oh and I fleece type baseball hat that has flaps for my ears. Gloves of course! Less than that and I would add a layer on my legs - sweats? I haven't need a sweatshirt in addition to long sleeves and a wind jacket in more years than I can remember. So either I don't run when I need that many clothes or I just don't need that much. Layers on top is key! It takes me about a mile to warm up - somewhere around 10 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
