Reddit mentions: The best running clothing accessories for women

Here are my cheapo recommendations and what I paid for them. Prices can vary as they go in and out of stock frequently. I recently ran 8.5 miles at 73 minutes in 20F and this gear worked well for me...

[ASICS Lite-Show Beanie, Black, One Size $5.23] (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AJ38MBW/ref=pe_385040_30332200_TE_item) - Fits comfortably, is very warm and reflective. It stays in place while running. Looks a bit funky but I absolutely love this hat.

Tesla New Men's Compression Tights Under Leggings Base Layer Gear Wear Pants $13.90 - Keeps my legs warm while not being bulky or restrictive. A decent base layer that is affordable and comfortable. I would recommend getting 2 sizes larger than normal though as they are based on Asian fitting sizes and can be pretty small.

[Tesla Men's Thermal & Cool Compression Under Base Layer Wear Long Sleeve -T $13.90] (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LNCVSB4/ref=pe_385040_30332200_TE_item) - Same advice about sizing as with the pants, they make a decent and warm base layer.

Mizuno Running Breath Thermo Run Glove, Large, Black/Red $4.77 - The gloves won't seem warm at first but once you are 10 minutes into your run they work really well.

BLACK NEOPRENE FACE MASK $1.34 - It's surprisingly very comfortable and warm considering the price. A great bargain IMHO. Ships from China though so it will take about 2 weeks to arrive.

TITLE Boxing Poly-Pro Warm-Up Suit Black/Red $39.99 - I wear this over my base layer and the set up keeps me warm and comfortable at 20F. Jacket and pants have 2 pockets each with zippers which I find to be very handy.

These are worth their weight in printer ink. Calls of "spare change?" should be met with these.

Also This and This are both dandy to have in cold weather!

If on the off chance you are in Blackheath...and if by some fate that shop happens to be Shepherds Grocery across from the train station, the mans name is Kevin, and he is as harmless and sweet as he is frightening and scary looking. If this is the case, please include a note to tell him that his American friends love and miss him dearly.


Cheers! Nice one :)

These are what I used last winter when I worked in a freezing grocery store. They're running gloves but extremely light and somehow really warm and have good dexterity too. I got them at costco but here they are on amazon. Not water proof though, so not good for rain but good for cold outdoor exercise. Like I would go walk my dog in like 40 degree weather in the evening and be good with them.

I live in MN and have been trying to run through the winter for the last two years. Though, last year wasn't as much as it kept being below zero and snowing - below 0 F is my limit and neighbors don't always shovel right away. I have two pairs of cold weather running tights: UnderArmour cold gear and fleece lined tights from the Target C9 line. Seconding that C9 recommendation, though I believe that line is being discontinued and not quite sure what they're replacing it with.

I usually wear a variation of the following, depending on exactly how cold it is:

- Cold weather tights above

- Long sleeve technical shirt. All of mine are from races.

- Either a light jacket (all from races) or my North Face shell. I got the North Face on sale late winter at a running store. With the jackets, I often wear a short sleeve as I don't tend to like layering over long sleeves as much.

- These touchscreen gloves. I often take them off halfway through, but they're nice to have to start.

If it's real cold I might wear Smartwool wool socks, but my feet don't usually get that cold on runs.

Definitely recommend trying Yaktrax or something else with traction. I believe I just have the normal style and there are some specific for running now. I like mine because they do allow me to get out when it's too icy to do so otherwise, but they do take some time to put on and take off. I don't love running in them as they feel clunky, make loud noises when you hit a dry patch and just generally slow me down. But, it's definitely better than not getting out there at all.

Sweaty hands is annoying. I use the gloves linked below. They're not the warmest, so my hands are often still cold when I first start running, but once I'm warmed up, they are quite comfortable. I haven't found that my hands get too hot in them.

(Glittens is an awesome word!)


TrailHeads Women's Power Stretch Running Gloves - black (small) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00G4CW6QY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_KVnEybQG5Y9ET

For the hands bit, I found a pair of gloves that do a great job of keeping wind and water out, while still being thin enough to pick pieces up - gloves I bought . Also, hot hands pocket warmers!

I use these

I love them!

Mizuno Breath Thermo. You can get them for as little as $10. Amazing.

Get some gloves with touch sensors! (Note I have no experience with the linked gloves. They're just the top result example I got from Amazon.)
