    Thank you for your replies.

    Speaking of winter running, I need to find a way to keep my feet warm while running in 5 finger shoes.

    I wear mid-thigh length or longer spandex shorts. Not neccesarily compression. I am pear shaped - the big hips, large booty and thunder thighs. I need longer shorts due to thigh rub and tight to prevent from ride-up.

    For top, I usually go with somewhat loose, but not baggy.

    I wear them, but in temps below 20, the socks are not enough.

    I wear a pair of New Balance Minimus shoes in the winter. Much easier since they don't have the toes to get multiple socks on :)
  • I bike and go to a climbing gym. Tight clothing is better for both. No worries of getting a pant leg stuck in my gears or my shorts bunching up in my belt. I actually wear skinny/stretch pants for climbing it has save my knees from many abrasive walls.

    Ladies, if you have tried the Old Navy compression tops, what do you think of them? What about the C9 tops with built-in bras at Target? I am looking for support but more than a typical shelf bra and I would like to avoid the uni-b00b.
