Layers, layers, and then some more layers for good measure
Photo: Boston Globe/Boston Globe via Getty Images I am a year-round runner. Polar vortices and full-on downpours don’t deter me. And I’m not even especially crazy: Through trial and error and a stint working in a specialty running store, I’ve simply built out a running wardrobe that’s ready for any weather. And in the right outfit, bad conditions are almost irrelevant.
Mild days Lululemon Swiftly Relaxed Short-Sleeved Top When the temperature dips below 60 degrees or the wind starts to blow, I’ll reach for a short-sleeved shirt for some shoulder coverage. I’ve worn Lululemon Swiftly tops on everything from casual jogs to full marathons. They are soft to the touch, lightweight, and sweat wicking, and they come in new colors every season. This “relaxed” style has a loose fit, so it looks more like a casual T-shirt than a skintight running shirt.
$68 at Lululemon Buy Oiselle Pocket Jogger Shorts Thicker than the Lululemon shorts above, these might not be appropriate for the hottest days, but they’re perfect for this in-between weather. As the name suggests, they have tons of pockets for carrying everything you need and more. These are out of stock in a few colors, but you can try the longer version as the weather cools down.
$66 at REI Buy Lululemon Fast and Free Crop II 19" Nulux Depending on how well you tolerate the cold, it may be time to retire your shorts for the season and break out the cropped tights. I started wearing these in the past year, and now I have them in three different colors. Like the Fast and Free shorts, they’re so thin and stretchy they feel like a second skin.
$98 at Lululemon Buy New Balance Heat Loft Pullover I have to admit I bought this because I thought it looked cute, and I was ready to wear it casually as a sweatshirt if I didn’t like running in it. So I was surprised when it turned out to be a very functional, and very warm, running top. You could layer it with just a T-shirt in these temps and still feel plenty warm thanks to the quilted fleece.
$20 at Amazon Buy $20 at Amazon Buy Saucony Ulti-Mitts $14 Convertible glove-mitten hybrids are awesomely multifunctional. For most of the winter, I’ll wear just the liner gloves until it gets super-cold, when I’ll flip the mittens over the gloves. $100 at Sugoi Buy Smartwool PhD Run Cold Weather Mid Crew Socks $18 Although I usually wear no-show socks, I like going crew-length in colder weather to close any gap between my tights and my feet. I’ve made the mistake of not wearing long-enough socks and ended up with a ring of red, wind-bitten skin on each ankle. Since these are wool, they keep my feet and ankles toasty without soaking up sweat.
$98 at REI Buy Sugoi Women's SubZero Zap Tight These are even warmer than the MidZero tights! I’d advise trying them on in person because the thicker material makes them more rigid , which not everyone likes. If you live in a frigid climate or feel cold in other tights, though, they’re worth the price. The “zap” in the name refers to reflective paneling that ensures you’re visible to cars and others on the road — which is essential for winter days when it’s dark at your normal running times.
$50 at Sugoi Buy Brooks Threshold Pants In extreme temperatures, an outer layer over your tights may be necessary. Brooks Threshold pants are a longtime favorite among running-store staffers since they’re warm and soft yet still flexible and stretchy enough for comfortable running. $90 at Macy's Buy Patagonia Houdini Jacket Here’s another lightweight, packable jacket. These tend to go on sale regularly as new colors are introduced.
$160 at Zappos Buy Hot and sunny weather Lululemon Swiftly Tech Racerback Just like the short-sleeved Swiftly, this top is a workhorse that gets me through most of the summer. I like to stalk Lululemon’s sale section for deals on older seasons’ colors, like this teal one. $46 at Zappos Buy Janji Women's Middle 3" Short Another very light pair of shorts, these feel made for going fast on hot days. While all of my shorts have flat seams , these feel basically seamless and never need adjusting during the run.
From $16 at Amazon Buy From $16 at Amazon Buy Shoes for all weather Saucony Triumph ISO 5 $120 These are one of my favorite pairs of running shoes for any kind of weather, because they have lots of soft foam underfoot to absorb impact before it gets to my joints. Saucony has been making the Triumph for over a decade.
