 REVISE CONDITIONS |
We suggest you wear:
|
 |
Hat with visor
A hat with a visor serves not only to keep the sun out of your eyes, but also to shield them from blowing snow and rain on the run. A lighter-colored hat helps to keep your head cool on warm days. |
 |
Winter cap
A warm hat that covers your ears is a must on cold days, especially windy ones, and can be one of the best steps you can take to keep warm. Thermastat or other technical-fiber hats are available at specialty running stores. |
 |
Short-sleeve shirt
Or singlet, or for women, as little as a jog-bra. The minumum upper-body coverage. While this may look like a classic T-shirt, a runner is actually best-off with a technical fabric like CoolMax which will pull sweat away from the skin, instead of absorbing it like cotton. This added comfort, combined with sun protection, can make a technical T-shirt a better choice than no shirt at all. |
 |
Shorts
The basic element of any runner's wardrobe. Usually a nylon or technical fiber. |
 |
Long-sleeve shirt
A long-sleeved shirt made of high-tech polyester will pull moisture away from your skin, keeping you from getting clammy and cold on a cooler day. |
 |
Pants
Extra insulation and protection for your legs. Running pants, usually a loose-fitting technical-fiber blend rather than the chilly nylon warmups you may be thinking of, are one option here; snugger running tights are another. In extreme cold, tights under pants is a good layering strategy. |
 |
Thermal
On very cold days, this thermal layer provides warmth between your wicking base layer and your wind- or water-resistant outer shell. |
 |
Tights
The first level of insulation for your legs. "Classic" tights are generally a polyester and Lycra® blend. Looser running pants (also stretchy, but not as form-fitting as tights) are another option here. In extreme cold, tights under pants is a good layering strategy. |
 |
Vest
Essentially a jacket without sleeves, a vest provides the wind-blocking and water-resistant functions of a running jacket, but only for the body's core, leaving the arms uncovered - warm, but not too warm. |
 |
Jacket
A jacket, usually a polyester blend, serves to keep you warm, keep off wind, rain, and snow, and manage your perspiration. It's an essential piece of equipment on cold, windy and/or rainy days. |
 |
Gloves
To keep your hands warm on a cold day. Mittens keep your hands warmer when temperatures drop below 30?. When in doubt, better to take your gloves with you. They're easy to tuck in your shorts or tights. |
 |
Sunglasses
By keeping the sun out of your eyes, a good pair of sunglasses can save you energy by allowing you to relax your face (no squinting). Though their uses are obvious on sunny summer days, they're also useful on bright winter days, or any other time when glare is likely to be an issue. |
 |
Sunblock
A must for sunny days, sunblock will actually keep you cooler, as well as preventing sunburn and reducing your risk of skin cancer. Use at least SPF-30; higher doesn't hurt. Also, use plenty. Applying sunblock too thinly reduces its effectiveness. |
