With summer just about over, it's time to update your fitness wardrobe with some cool weather gear. These selections include pants, tops, jackets and shoes, all made of high quality materials so they'll last a long time. They'll keep you warm, dry and comfortable during your hardest, sweatiest workouts.
Normally, I'm not a big fan of vests, but they're actually a good choice for keeping your core warm when the weather's cold, but not freezing. The Nike vest is a nice choice because it's light and has elastic armholes for a comfortable fit. It also includes key pockets and a back vent for breathability. You can easily fit a thin, long-sleeved top underneath for layering purposes.
These running pants always get great reviews from users because they're light, comfortable and offer protection from the elements. The fabric is stretchy, it has an elastic waist with a drawcord, pockets and ankle gussets so you can pull them on over your shoes. These pants are a good choice for those days it's a little too cold for shorts.
In cool weather, it's important to wear light layers so you don't get too hot. This wind jacket is a great choice for cool morning runs or walks. This jacket is to light, you could ball it up and carry it in one hand. It offers wind and water resistance as well as breathability. It includes a hood, a chest pocket and a vented mesh back for better air circulation.
If you need a comfy, warm shoe to slip on after your workout, you'll love the Jungle Slides. They're made of water resistant leather and have a comfy Nylex lining that makes it feel like a running shoe. The anatomical footbed fits like a glove and the cushioned sole will make you feel like you're walking on air. My husband's had a pair of these for years and still swears by them.
The most important part of you cool-weather workout wear is the base layer. You want support and warmth without bulkiness or discomfort. These boxer-briefs are great for providing a thin, warm layer that wicks away sweat.
