With it getting colder and colder outside i find myself wanting to upgrade my running wardrobe. Maybe you guys find yourself in a similar situation, or have already found your endgame and can give some recommendations.
Right now for example i am looking to upgrade some of my cheap decathlon longsleeved tops, that i am not particularly happy with, and maybe add a jacket/vest.
What are you wearing when it is X°C outside? When do you start using multiple layers and what's your strategy?
What are your favorite pieces of running gear for when it gets cold outside? Feel free to name specific models.
Or maybe you aren't as hung up about a specific brand, but have certain features/materials/technologies that you really like/dislike in your winter gear.
I chafe a lot, so I'm pretty specific about the shorts I wear. When it gets cold I tried switching to tights but I found that no matter what kinda tights I was wearing, I still got chaffed pretty bad. I even had runs where pubic hair from my left leg got tied in a knot with pubic hair from my right leg.
The last 2 years I have just been using my summer shorts, and I just put loose sweats on top of them. It worked from a chafing perspective, but they were heavy, and picked up a lot of slush from dragging on the sometimes snowy trail.
This winter I will do basically the same thing, but I got slightly nicer running pants since the sweats hit end-of-life.
Chaffing truly is the worst, hope the new ones work well.
