My Picks: Favorite Winter Running Gear

^[1]

With temperatures in the 60’s it’s hard to imagine that winter is right around the corner. Every year I work hard to keep my fitness routine in place throughout the cold winter months. It’s no surprise regular physical activity has been shown to ^[2] help strengthen your immune system, which in turn helps prevent a wide range of potential health issues ^[3]that can pop up when the weather changes.

Running in the cold presents a host of challenges, but most are an easy fix with the right gear.

Take a peek at some of my favorites for running in the cold (affiliate links*)  

Nike Women’s Thermal Running Tights/Pants ^[4]

^[5]I’ve tried many different brands of running tights and I always come back to these. Nike Women’s Thermal Running Tights/Pants ^[4] come in gray or black and fit a small ^[6], medium ^[7], large or extra large ^[8] build. I really like the small zipper pocket in the back. It’s the perfect size for my phone or any other music device.

Saucony Drylete Skull Cap ^{[9] [10]}

I’m loving this Saucony Drylete Skull Cap ^[9]. It comes in three different colors, black, orange and citron.It’s lightweight and reversible. I can easily wear my hair in a ponytail and the hat doesn’t get in the way. ^[11]

The North Face Powerstretch Glove ^[12]
These are my favorite winter running gloves. They keep my hands the perfect temperature without overheating. These gloves contain at least 90% bluesign approved fabric — a standard for environmentally responsible production.

^[13]Salomon Women’s Tournette Shell Jacket ^[14]
This jacket is new for me this season. I have it in Boss Blue. It’s ultralight and perfect for keeping the cold wind out.

Brooks Women’s Ravenna 6 Running Shoes ^[15]

^[16]These aren’t technically winter running gear, but I just have to share. I’ve been a Brooks fan for sometime and I recently purchased new running shoes, Brooks Women’s Ravenna 6 Running Shoes ^[15] in blue. They are so comfortable and supportive. I’m hoping that they’ll provide the traction that I need over the winter.

What’s your favorite piece of winter running gear?
