Winter clothing for exercising outside? I just wear lots of layers. The Feels Like temperature was 18 degrees F today and I was still good with my sneakers and thicker socks. I'll be switching to my LLBean hiking boots soon.
I wore pajama pants under jeans, and a t-shirt, long sleeve t-shirt, turtle neck, flannel shirt, heavy hoodie, and a hat.0 -

Awwww thanks. I've gotten into the whole female superhero thing and then saw the quote (I think on a t shirt) and I didn't think it was appropriate to use my normal Matt Smith/Arthur Darville bromancey avatar on here so....

I love my Columbia pants with "foil" like material inside; smartwood socks; I wear a water bottle belt, and as I take off layers I drape over belt. I usually wear an under athletic type shirt, a fleece sweatshirt and a warm underarmour vest. I open and close zippers, take off various layers and put back on depending on shade/sun, wind, etc. I have a pair of running gloves with have mittens that fit over the finger part. They latch together with a little toggle so I can hang them over my water belt too. A hat is very important for me -- I like underarmour fleece stocking hat.0

Posting because I wear layers, but my cheeks got chapped in the 5 F weather this weekend. I am looking at a Balaclava hood with lower face mask. But I'm not committed to any brand so far.0

if it drops below 30 degrees my butt is staying inside.

cold is all in your perception and what youre used to.0 -
Not a brand but for suggestions what layers to wear when running, would this site help?
dressmyrun.com
It suggests clothing according to the current conditions in your location.
Or this one (I actually like it more because you can specify if you prefer to feel warmer or cooler):

I need to get a hat and gloves for sure! Thank you for all the info 0 -
Thank you everyone for your replies Looking forward to more also

Ok fine. My cut off is like 45 degrees.
This is what I do for now. I wear a long sleeve thermal shirt under a hanes sweatshirt under a hoodie and thermal pants under sweatpants. I also have a pair of gloves (cheapo from Target) so my fingers don't freeze.
I just bought a puffer jacket from Walmart but haven't worn it outside yet. I tried it on inside and it seemed cozy but I don't want to take the tags off unless I plan on keeping it because I bought it specifically for outside.
My big thing is the wind and the rain. Mostly the wind. Or if it's raining hard. I've basically become a wimp. 0 -

@Happymom83 Great answers from everyone. We are all unique with different metabolism and personal Body Quirks ( Cold Left Thumb due to a teenage misadventure) so what works for one person will be a disaster for someone else.
This topic has been asked and answered at least twice a year, here are a few links to a few of them.
Running-and-Exposure-to-cold, Running-in-Cold-Weather/pg3, Search for Running Clothes in Winter .
The Runners World online guide is pretty good. Again you will find that your needs will be slightly different than they show. There is a member in our local Running Club who keeps a Weather/Clothing Log in the Back of her Running Journal that she refers back to all the time. Temperature - Wind - Clothing - Was I Warm/Cold etc.0 -
For some reason the difference between celsius and fahrenheit just won't combine to make sense for me. But I went out on the one day we've had freezing (celsius) temperatures here and it was my favourite! And I didn't layer, just a long sleeve top, long running leggings, regular everything else.
I do have some running gloves, a head band and jacket on standby but it would have to get pretty darn cold for me to wear all of it because I hate being too hot when I'm running. Maybe it's the hardy Scot in me that hasn't been completely diminished by living in London for a long time.0 -
I'm not picky about brands, but when it gets cold for running I love these
My ears are always the coldest thing and never seem to warm up. After than I would say gloves.
I always warm up way more than I thought I would running, so that long leggings and a windbreaker are enough for me for all the rest.

Layers are key for me. Glove with mittens, hat or head band with hood, and jacket over hoodie. In Nebraska the wind makes keeping warm challenging. Today it was sunny, windy with temperatures just below freezing. I needed to cover my nose and mouth when walking into the wind but was fine without when the wind was at my back.0

My ears were cold today until I flipped my hoodie hood up, and I was thinking about those. You say brand isn't really important?

Yeah, my cut off is the same, but only if the wind is NO more than 3 miles an hour. Cold wind kicks your butt when it's more than that. I haven't walked in almost a month because it's either way too cold, windy, or raining. Plus, I only go with my dog, so I gotta think about her ears(chronic infections
) and her paws. 0 -
I bought a pair of Marc New York fleece lined leggings from Costco and they are perfect for cool nights in AZ. They were only $16.99 shipped. I usually wear those with a 3/4 zipped top with thumbholes. Old navy has some great tops for a reasonable price. My favorite clothes are from Lucy... But they are pricey. I just picked up some sale items that had an additional 40% off.
The key is layer and remember once you are moving you will get warmer, so don't overdress.0 -
OP, if I did honestly feel like braving the temps lower than 25 with a higher wind, I would probably just wear my fleece lined leggings under my exercise pants and do a thermal hoodie under my winter jacket. I don't wear hats or anything over my ears so couldn't help you there. Usually I will end up building a sweat so I don't like being too layered0

I run in the winter, lowest I've ever run in was -20* F but that was the windchill and it was sunny!
I agree it's all about layers. I like to wear my fleece lined under armour tights, wicking tshirt, fleece lined or thick long sleeve wicking shirt, cheap gloves and a cheap handband. I'm good in that down to about 10* F. If it gets colder I'll probably add on a windprood jacket and swap out the headband for a hat. Colder than that and I'll layer on a pair of windproof pants.
My favorite running brands are Under Armour, Nike and C9 at Target.0 -
Wool. Ibex. Woolly Clothing Co. Icebreaker. SmartWool. Take yer pick. Shirts, skirts, leggings, long johns, socks, gloves, hats, jackets, etceteras.
Montbell for synthetic insulation.
Schoeller dryskin/extreme or climawool pants/shells.
I don't use down in the PacNW except in the summer because of the wet.0 -

I only run at the end of spring, summer nights, and beginning of fall. Otherwise....i went out and bought an elliptical just so i didn't have to ever set foot outside in winter except to go to work or college. Or if the kids want to go outside, but they're tweens/teens and all they ever want to do is play video games. Ha0 -
Michigan runner here. I've had my Under Armour fleece-lined leggings and zip-up for two winters now and they've held up pretty well. Warm but breathable and stretchy. Disclaimer: I'm too much of a wimp to run below 32 degrees/ 5+ mph wind, so they probably won't hold up as well then.0

I don't run, but I walk and hike in all weathers including the snow (when we get any) and do a lot in the mountains here in the UK.
Depending on the conditions I am happy to go out and have fun adventures down to about -20c
I layer my clothing all year around. Merino is my fav base layer fabric and I have a few prized garments by Chocolate Fish and Icebreaker.
For the rest of my synthetic clothing my top 4 are
Haglofs
Rab
Mammut
Marmot

UA cold gear tights and if it's below 30F, windbreaker running pants (Road Runner brand) over them. Lululemon Run and Done head/ear band with light hat on top. Whatever running gloves Costco (HEAD) or TJ Maxx has.

Brands don't matter just layer up and make sure it wicks away the sweat0
