Composite of Extremities Maze Runner gloves, Rab Ridgeline base layer, Sealskinz Hilgay socks, Merrell Morphlite Gore-Tex shoes, and Proviz backpack cover

If you’re tempted to stop running in the winter or retreat to the gym, think again. Whether it’s getting out for fresh air and daylight on crisp, blue-sky days, or blowing away the cobwebs in the dark and rain after work, running outdoors can make winter more bearable.

With a few changes to your attire and some nifty accessories, you can stay warm and dry and be safer. You won’t need all of the below – it depends on where you run, how far and what time of day you get out. Everything featured is either unisex or available in women’s and men’s versions.
