Winter Running Gear Must-Haves That Will Keep You Toasty
Getty ImagesReal runners know that training doesn't stop even when cold temperatures arrive. They also know that winter runs require special gear to achieve peak performance.
Your go-to leggings and tank top won't give you the warmth you need to brave chilly winds and even snow.
Unfortunately, you can't rock a parka on your run. But luckily, Amazon has all of the cold weather running gear you need to stay comfortably warm this season.
Layering is key when it comes to running in winter. Layer a thermal athletic top or sweatshirt beneath a lightweight puffer vest or jacket with insulation to keep warm without the bulk. Pair that with fleece leggings or tights and you'll be good for miles upon miles.
Accessories are also a must for extra warmth. Think thermal-lined gloves, merino wool socks, and fleece headbands.
The cold is no match for these winter running gear picks from Amazon, which start at just $9. Shop them all below.
