Key essentials include a thermal or moisture-wicking base layer, insulating running tights or trousers, and a weather-resistant running jacket. Brands like On, Brooks, and New Balance offer winter-ready tops and jackets designed to keep you warm without overheating. Layering helps regulate temperature and adapt to changing winter conditions.

Start with a lightweight, moisture-wicking base layer, add a long-sleeve thermal or mid-layer, and finish with a windproof or waterproof jacket for protection against rain, wind, and snow. Adjust layers based on your activity level and weather, and opt for breathable, technical fabrics to avoid overheating.

Thermal gloves, winter hats or headbands, and neck buffs provide crucial warmth for extremities. Reflective accessories and head torches are important for visibility during dark winter mornings or evenings. Look for brands like Ronhill and On for high-quality winter running accessories.

Choose grippy trail running shoes or waterproof running shoes, such as the On Cloudflyer Waterproof, to handle wet, icy, or muddy conditions. These shoes offer extra traction and weather protection, keeping your feet dry and stable on slippery winter surfaces.

Wear reflective clothing and accessories, and use a head torch or running light for extra visibility. Many winter jackets and tights now feature reflective details to help you be seen by traffic and other runners in low-light conditions.
