Cold weather gear? Also, clothing site

posted over 2 years ago | Report

So I've decided to start running during the coldest time of the year. Even though it is Texas, it actually gets pretty cold here once you've taken wind in to consideration. What do you folks wear to stay warm? Tall sizes are a major plus.

I also thought the gals in the group might be interested in a clothing website I've been using for a while. It has a silly name but it is seriously one of the best places I've found. A lot of fitness websites seem to not stock very many options for women. It is the only place I buy cycling shorts from anymore. It caters to a variety of activities and body types. I'd argue that their tall pant sizes actually just cater to slightly above average though.

  Since you're in Texas this may not be too much help. I wear base layers for snowboarding. They are breathable and light. I'll then just wear a sweatshirt and some thin yoga pants over them. I also got some fingerless workout gloves for running outside because it get chilly but my hands will get too hot if I wear regular gloves. I wear Burton base layers.

  Thanks for the website tip. They carry the sports bras that I like. Now that I'm on a more regular workout schedule, I need to order a few more and Athleta doesn't carry them anymore. I have no tips on cold weather- I'm in Florida- but I do see a lot of cold weather gear in Athleta's catalog & online. And they do carry Tall sizes.

  I run in New York and this is the first year that I am running in the winter - and it's been COLD! So, I wear running tights - a heavier weight than the ones I wear during other months of the year. Then I layer. The most I wear is three - a base layer, a short-sleeved top and a top running jacket. the top layer i only wear on super cold days - below 25 degrees. otherwise the two work fine. I wear a hat, a neck-muff and gloves, always with the gloves. Last weekend I got frostbite so I am out looking for thicker gloves!
