Accessories for Cold Running

Former Member over 3 years ago

I live in Canada and have only been jogging for 6 weeks. I love it, but I'm in need of some cold-weather gear to keep me warm.

Could you tell me what you think of the Chevron Ear Warmer, Run for it All Beanie, Run for it All Gloves, and Rulu Run shirts? (The Close to Crossing comes to mind.)

Is it really worth it? I'm spending $250 on hats, gloves, and a shirt, so I want to make sure they're worth it!

Do they keep you sufficiently warm? Is the rulu wicking sweet? I don't have any Rulu goods (fairly new Lulu-aholic lol).

I run in Minnesota all through the winter... some of my favorite run gear is generic stuff from amazon or Target... layering is very important in managing sweat and insulation. No Lulu gear here besides one T-shirt that was on clearance, generally overpriced, but good stuff.

When it gets really cold, buff's usually freeze up and make breathing hard (like through a bag!), highly recommend a mask that is more neoprene like with holes... love this one. Vaseline/Aquaphor on tip of nose and cheeks help also.

As far as gloves, will need tons of options depending on your hands (mine are always cold!) but love convertible gloves/mittens to give adjustability out on a run. something like these - https://smile.amazon.com/TrailHeads-Convertible-Running-Gloves-hi-vis/dp/B0743KJRBX/ref=sr_1_16?crid=2NPM18PM3ZCOG&keywords=convertible%2Bgloves&qid=1640271361&sprefix=convertible%2Bglove%2Caps%2C90&sr=8-16&th=1&psc=1 I also have mittens, thin Smartwool liner gloves , among others. thin Smartwool hat, thin headbands, etc.

For shirts a tight thin compression shirt with and insulation layer over it has been my favorite. keeps sweat away from your keep warm layer... a softshell coat cuts wind, but hopefully breathes enough. GET 'WINDPROOF BOXERBREIFS'... priceless! then you can wear lighter pants and not freeze off your stuff... lol

Just watch REI Outlet... and buy stuff often! lol https://www.rei.com/rei-garage/c/running-clothes
