Now that winter seems to be here to stay, I thought I would share some of my favorite winter must have pieces. As the temps drop, these are the items I am counting on to keep me warm. If you are still looking for some items to add to your holiday list check out my list below.
Favorite Winter Running Gear
As a Skirt Sports ambassador, I’ve had the opportunity to try out a lot of gear and I am truly in love with these Go The Distance Tights. I have been wearing them for 3 winters now and they are super warm and comfortable. I love the slightly higher waistband that does not roll down while I am running. They are warm without being too warm and perfect for everyday runs under 35 degrees.

In the photo above I am wearing the Go the distance tights in the dream print along with the toasty girl vest
This toasty girl vest has extra warm flannel panels, 4 pockets and a zip off hood. Added bonus, it appears to be water repellent.
When it gets really cold, I am donning the Toasty Tights this year. Made with the same flannel panels in the vest, these tights are designed with wind blocking leg panels. They have a mid rise waist and adjustable pulleys on the legs to customize the length. Super warm just where you want them.
Cold Hands? Me too! I had the opportunity to review these Mizuno Breath Thermo gloves and they have become my go to pair. They use your body heat to warm your hands and so far so good.
I’ve been a fan of Balega socks forever and in the winter I like to switch over to the mohair blend for a little more warmth and a little higher coverage. Check them out here.
What are your favorite things right now? Go to winter running gear? Finished with your shopping yet?

I can’t wait to share my reviews of my new Spyder gear! I am OBSESSED
Can’t wait to read it-I don’t have any (yet) lol
You inspire me with me your running photos all bundled up! I am such a pansy with the cold and end up jumping on the treadmill a lot more during the winter months. I need to suck it up and get out there more! 🙂
If you get the right gear it’s really invigorating to run outside in the winter
The Go the Distance tights are definitely on my wish list this year. I don’t think we’ll get cold enough for the Toasty Tights, but I do love the look. And I need that vest! Cold enough or not!
The GTD tights you will love the toasty ones might be a little warm for you but the vest is amazing. I was pleasantly surprised by how great it is
I recently bought the toasty tights because the fun run tomorrow is at night and it’s supposed to be pretty cold. Unfortunately I think it’s doubtful I’ll be running it — still too sick. I’m bummed. My first DNS. 🙁
Although maybe I’ll wake up feeling a lot better tomorrow, you never know!
I’m not usually a vest person but I didn’t know about the pockets . . . I may have to reconsider. And I do love Balega socks.
OH no being sick before a race is the worst. Hope you do wake up feeling better! I do really love the vest so much more than I thought I would
My post today is how I need winter gear. I haven’t really needed it for almost 8 years, and while I do have base layers, I need the top layers. It’ll be a shock moving from Texas.
oh yes it will! Happy to be your fashion advisor if you need it 🙂
I have a buff I wear to mainly cover my ears but I can wear it to cover my chin and face as well. Or wrap it around my wrist to wipe away snot. So versatile! 😉
Yes those really help when they can cover your chin too
These all look good! I need some winter tights and need to finally make an investment so I will check those Go the Distance pairs out!
And socks! My socks are too breathable so I’m usually pretty limited in the winter. I need to try mohair for some extra warmth!
If you do want any of the tights let me know I have a 20% off code I can give you
I absolutely love my buff(s) and my Nike winter running gloves. Could not get out of the house without them! Also… tea and coffee. Because sometimes you just need warming up quickly!
Always coffee 🙂
I am in love with my higher waisted tights when it gets cold. It is like a layer you don’t even feel 🙂 I love a the vest too, it still lets air circulate a bit so you don’t overheat, I have a full jackets that are lined and so warm I get toasty when I really start rolling lol
Yes exactly! It’s great to layer it all on and then you can always take it off
I love Balega socks! And those Toasty Tights look super cozy and warm!!
they sure are! I think they will come out this weekend
I know that you love your Skirt Sports apparel I really need to give the line a try sometime!.
You definitely do! Let me know and I will give you a discount code I promise you will love them
Straight up, I’m getting that vest. I’ve been avoiding vests for some reason (I seriously couldn’t tell you why), but THAT ONE looks so fantastic!
It’s amazing you will love it! I wear vest all the time they are really great
The gloves look great!! Haha your super photogenic too (:
The gloves are great and aren’t you sweet?! Have a great weekend
I am thinking about getting those Mizuno gloves for my sister for Christmas. I think she will really like them.
So far I have really been enjoying them!
Great ideas. I run in dog runner pants (Lululemon linned pants) but I need some warmer tights to run in. Love my vest and wool socks for other musts. Gloves I haven’t found any to keep my hands warm yet. :/
I am always on the hunt for warmer gloves and I am really happy with these so far
I really want those Mizuno Breath Thermo gloves, my hands are always FREEZING in the winter
I’ve been using them for a weeks now and really love them
Balegas are my favorite as well. I like wearing ones that are a little longer so there’s no cold gap between socks and tights. Gotta seal out that cold!
Yes absolutely! stay warm
ha ha , the shopping is coming along, but still not finished. For winter, I love my puffer vests (no particular brand) because they are warm but not bulky like a full jacket. Of course, flannel-lined tights are a necessity and a headband or hat of some sort.
I also love running in vests really keeps the core warm without the bulk
I LOVE those tights! Might have to get myself a pair!
WEll I agree!
Each year I say I am never running during the winter again, so I never invest in much warm weather gear. I keep running in winter so perhaps this is the year I get warmer tights and socks! Thanks for the suggestion.
Winter running can be great if you have the right gear. I love the fresh air even if it’s cold
OMG I need those tights in my life! Fleece lined AND windproof!!! It’s like a match made in winter running heaven.
They are really warm
I do like those BreathThermo gloves too! They are so toasty warm. I want the lobster claw ones for the bitter cold, tho.
I may have to get those as well
Those Toasty Tights look awesome! Running is so much more pleasant when you’re in the right cold-weather gear!
Absolutely!
Tights with pockets are life. Seriously! They’re super cute 🙂
They are the best gotta have pockets
i need those leggings, esp with 30F here in Dallas which we are not used to.
We are having quite a cold snap here as well stay warm
Those tights look amazing, and I’m a big fan of Balega socks. My go-to winter piece is a vest. I don’t get too cold/warm up quickly when running so a long sleeve top with a vest is perfect.
I love a vest in the winter too. Warmth for the core without totally committing to a jacket
Such good gear!! I need to up my winter running game.
Well yes now is the time!
The temps finally dropped so I am on the lookout now for some warmer running clothes!
It just got really cold here too-stay warm 🙂
Great items, I am happy to report I don’t need any here in Florida.
#Jealous
I’m a big fan of those gloves as well! And I may not be a huge fan of cold weather running, but I sure do like cold weather gear! 😉
I like all the gear too!
Great post. I have a runner friend that I need to buy for, so this will come in quite handy.
I great hope she likes it!
These are great tips for my runner friends. I’ll make sure to share it with them. Also great gift ideas for runners!
Thanks so much!
I want (and/or need 😛 ) those gloves in my life!
They really kept my hands warm yesterday and the temps were in the 20’s.
Your Go the distance tights are so fun!
They are so comfortable and warm too
Those tights sound amaaazing!
What a clever idea!
The tights are really great I love them
I need to check out those extra cozy socks!!
Oh they are fabulous!
