RUNNING in COLD weather

[Stacy]

My husband used to run years ago and is starting it back up. Why he's starting in the winter who knows, but nonetheless since I'm not a runner at all I wanted to get him some cold weather running gear. What are some must-have's for running outside in cold weather???

Thanks!

http://www.underarmour.com/ has great stuff for the cold weather. a bit expensive but the best there is. hubby had some starter shirts similar to this material but we can be darned where we can find them anymore. i wear layers mostly b/c of the blistering wind so of course i have to a hat that covers part of the face and ears as well as some gloves. i am not picky about my outer layer. i wear a hooded sweatshirts or an atheltic jacket or something. i am probably not the best to ask b/c i am simple as long as i have the right pants,shoes,and shirt the rest is just simple LOL.

i was doing a search to find more pants in my price range myself and i found this site. i can't find much about them but they are speaking my price for running tights. if you or anybody knows something about the site let me know. i am going to do more reserach b/c i never buy clothes online and i want to make sure i order right.

The most important thing is layering, and, when it is very cold, he should layer running tights under looser pants. Gore-tex is on the expensive side, but it is well worth it for jackets and looser running pants. Under the jacket, I would layer a thin shirt, a heavier shirt, and then a jacket. I also used to layer gloves under mittens, and headband under the hood of my jacket. Roadrunner Sports is a great resource for running gear.

I second Caitlin's advice to go to RRS. That's awesome of you to get him some gear- he'll need it!

I have some Nike Therma Fit pants (which I got for $20.00 at Marshall's!), a Therma Fit Nike golf jacket and vest which I tried out walking on a golf course today. It worked out fine, especially the pant. My son has worked a this golf course for 6 years and I've not walked it until last week. Today I walked the whole thing (9000 steps on my pedometer). This will be my new winter workout - golf course walking. I'm thinking about getting snow shoes, also.
