A three-layer system works for most cold-weather runs: a moisture-wicking baselayer, an insulating mid-layer, and a windproof, waterproof running jacket. Thermal tights, a running hat and gloves complete the setup below freezing. For a full breakdown of how to combine each layer, see our winter running layering guide.
Hi-vis running gear and LED lights keep runners seen and safe on dark winter miles. Reflective jackets and 360-degree reflective detailing help drivers spot runners from a distance. Head torches light up icy or uneven pavements underfoot.
Winter running shoes need sticky rubber outsoles and deep tread for grip on wet or icy roads. Waterproof running shoes keep feet dry through rain and slush, while trail shoes with aggressive lugs suit muddy or frozen off-road routes. Merino wool socks add extra warmth and help prevent blisters.
