    From Alberta, Canada, I can say that I don't spend a whole lot of $$ on the apparel for running other than the shoes. When I'm running outside in the cold, it's more about layers than name brands. I wear my workout shorts under just my regular brand of yoga pants (Ieast expensive I can find at the time that I need them). I have heard others swear by compression pants, but they don't "do it" for me - I hate having tight things around my calves when I run.

    Keep in mind that you really only need pants for temperatures below 40 degrees (IMHO opinion anyway). Most major athletic brands make decent running pants. I have nike and underarmor running pants, but I doubt it matters much. Just go to a store and buy whatever is the most comfortable.

    Under armor pants are the best. if you are in a cold area best to get the long ones instead of the cropped. if you get the cropped just remember your calfs are going to be very cold

    Zaggora Flares. They keep you ridiculously warm AND are great for extra calorie burning. I swear by them.

    When I was on the cross country ski team in Vermont, we used to wear a very high tech pair of pants for both dry land (running) training as well as while skiing - they were known back then as "sweat pants." I think you may be able to special order them online.

    I have these:

    And wore them on my first marathon, and it was about 30 degrees F at the start of the race. They are great. Kept my legs warm, but not hot. I plan on using them a lot this winter.

    i have no long pants for running and it's getting cold here what type, materials, brands , styles etc. Do you suggest and why? Thanks!

    I'm pretty happy with just long sports pants from like JCPenny's. I usually have to hem them, even when they say petite, but they work just as good as the more expensive running pants at running stores.

    I wear Old Navy compression pants, but it doesn't get super cold here in NC. This morning was a little chilly (low-mid 40s) and they were perfect!

    I love Sugoi mid zero tights. They're a thermal fleece lined tight. They have a leg grip rather than zippers at the ankle like Nike. I like that feature as they don't ride up nor do I have to deal with the zipper causing issues on my heel. I've worn them in below freezing temps and snow and they're great. They have flat seems so no chaffing issues, a key/card pocket and they aren't overly constricting like some compression tights can be.
