    Head band/ear muffs, Gloves, and Wool socks:love: (To wear over my running socks). I need to invest in a good thin water resistant jacket. I have a lot of under-armor knock off gear but with a thick jacket it just traps in too much heat.:ohwell: It gets really cold here. My nose is almost always numb. But with glasses it seems impossible to wear those mouth/nose coverings. i just fog up! :laugh:

    I have glasses which always fog. I went to a hockey store and asked them what they suggest for hockey players to put on their visors. The item I got is called "Cat Crap" - - but it works :laugh:

    It gets pretty cold in my area, so I have a good selection of winter gear. Here's my must haves:
    Handwarmers
    Gloves
    Mittens - that can be gloves or mittens
    headband
    headlamp
    scarf or baclava
    moisture wicking cold gear tops
    running tights
    wind pants
    wool socks
    wind proof jacket

    and for when I get home - lots of tea for hot tea to warm up after. I get cold easy.

    do you use almonds or walnuts in your baclava? :laugh:
    :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
    Mmmmmm, baclava!

    I'm not sure that winter exists in NYC anymore, but should it appear when I'm in the park walking or, maybe (someday) again running, my staples would include:

    mist-free goggles or sunglasses because my eyes tear when it's cold
    long underwear for my legs
    wind pants
    some sort of moisture-wicking top with long sleeves
    a nylon jacket that I can remove and tie around my waist
    a fleecy headband that will securely cover my ears
    a scarf that will cover most of my face or just my neck, depending upon how I wrap it
    wool socks
    a chafe-free cotton sports bra
    my fleece mittens that convert into gloves
    whatever pair of running shoes I happen to own at the time that have the best tread to protect me from falls on black ice

    I'm probably forgetting something . . .

    Winters mornings are often high 20s to low 30s F here. I get too hot with anything other than shorts so no tights or such, a long sleeve running shirt, a head band that covers my ears and different warmth gloves depending on how cold and the wind. Ears and fingers are what gets me when it's cold.
