Gifts for Running in Cold Weather

This long sleeve quarter zip will be the mid-layer top they reach for as soon as there’s a chill in the air. The On Climate Shirt adapts to their body temperature by insulating the skin when it is chilly out and airing it out when it heats up, so they’ll always be at the perfect temperature.

The thumb holes and watch window in the sleeves are thoughtful touches that come in big time on a cold day to keep their hands warm and watch in view.

Running in cold weather can be a back-and-forth battle between too hot and too cold. A quality running vest is versatile for almost all weather conditions.

When the temperature isn’t quite cold enough to break out the jacket, the Brooks Hybrid Shield Vest 2.0 keeps their core warm using Thermolite® insulation and has wind and water protection. Zippered side pockets work great to hold their gloves when their hands get too hot, while moisture-wicking materials keep their back from getting too sweaty.

When a chill is in the air and they need to slip into a comfy pair of sweats, look no further than the Saucony Solstice Jogger for a functional, stylish and comfortable gift.

The recycled polyester fabric is brushed with a soft lining for extra warmth and coziness. Drop-in side pockets and a zippered back pocket can stash their essentials when they’re working out or on the move.

An external drawcord lets them adjust the waist and helps to keep these winter joggers in place when they are running on a cold winter evening or relaxing by the fireplace.

Running during the winter often means less daylight. Layering up to go outside for a run can often cover up a lot of reflective features on running apparel. To help your runner be seen by drivers, cyclists and other runners, the Nathan Vibe Reflective Vest provides 360 degrees of visibility.

It’s comfortable and easy to fit on top of layers, like a heavy jacket, making it a great gift that runners can use right away.

The Craft Charge Warm Jacket is a multi-sport jacket that they can use for everything from cross-country skiing and hiking to running and snowshoeing. It has quilted padding and wind protective fabric at the front to give them superior warmth and keep the chill from cutting through.

Thoughtful details like thumb grips at the sleeve, secure zip side pockets and reflective prints to stand out in the dark make this jacket a winter running staple.

Vuori’s Yosemite Bra won’t necessarily keep her warm, but it’s an essential piece of running gear for women. Because a bra is the first layer that touches her skin, she wants something breathable, quick-drying and soft. Aside from the amazing support and comfort, the Yosemite Bra is super soft to the touch, stretchy and uses moisture-wicking and anti-odor fabrics.

Great for chilly fall hikes, training and traveling, the Vuori Yosemite Bra is up for any adventure. If you’re shopping for great running gifts for women, a reliably comfortable sports bra is one of the most important pieces of gear a woman can own.

These running gloves are the perfect present to give someone who runs in the cold. Warm fabric on the back will block the wind and keep their digits warm, while mesh inserts in the palms prevent their hands from getting too sweaty.

Plus, the fingertips are touch screen compatible, so they won’t have to risk cold hands to answer a call or text.

If they are planning to run outside this winter, Saucony’s Solstice 2.0 Tight will be perfect for all of their workouts.

These streamlined tights keep you warm and comfortable during runs in cold weather thanks to their soft performance fabric that wicks away your sweat before it chills you. They have a mid-rise waistband and adjustable drawcord to keep them in place whether you’re wearing them on their own or layering them underneath pants.

Saucony also added reflective logos and stripes around the ankles for better visibility during dark winter runs.

When it’s really wet and cold, a good pair of wool running socks aren’t enough to keep their feet dry and warm. That’s where waterproof running shoes come in. The KARHU Ikoni Trail WR comes with a waterproof inner bootie that will keep their feet dry as they run through the snow, rain and slush this winter.

Inspired by the varied landscape of Finland, the Ikoni Trail WR has rugged durability and specialized lugs for grip that can handle both technical and non-technical terrain, so they’ll be surefooted and confident no matter what conditions they’re running in.

Wet weather can make a cold day feel even colder.

The Saucony Drizzle Jacket is one of our favorite jackets to throw on top of our base or mid-layer top. It’s waterproof, windproof and breathable to keep the rain, sleet or snow off and let your insulating clothes underneath do their job.

Reflective trim and logo marks will help them stay visible and safe no matter the conditions, while sleek colorways will keep them running in style.

A headband can be a great way to help them keep their ears warm without the overheating and irritation that can come from a beanie. Plus, they can feel the wind go through their hair as they run.

The Brooks Notch Thermal Headband has a fleece interior that's soft on the skin and a bluesign-certified antimicrobial finish that keeps it fresh for longer.

So they really insist on running in the coldest weather? We can’t blame them, but they may want to bulk up their outer layer.

The Mizuno Breath Thermo FZ Jacket doesn’t cut any corners when it comes to braving the elements. It’s water and wind-resistant and has fully reflective, 360-degree visibility for running in low-light conditions.

It uses Mizuno’s super warm Breath Thermo fabric, which uses their own body’s escaping vapors to generate heat and keep them warm, even in the fiercest winter weather. A full zipper front lets them adjust their coverage and temperature, while zippered hand and chest pockets keep their belongings safe and secure.

And like any of the best cold weather running gear, it wicks moisture away to keep them dry and comfortable.

These soft and stretchy winter running tights will be perfect for their cold-weather long runs. When the temperatures get below 25°F, they can wear the Craft ADV Essence Warm Tights as an outer layer or base layer underneath a pair of joggers or snow pants.

The silky smooth polyester and jersey fabric will keep them warm without irritating their skin, and the compression feels great during long days outdoors.

If you're buying a cold-weather gift for a runner that likes minimalist style and ultra-versatility, they will love the On Merino Beanie. Sleek and thoughtfully crafted using 100% merino wool, this running beanie keeps your head toasty while the fast-drying wool wicks away moisture from sweat, rain or snow.

Ready for a cold run or a cold beer at the brewery, the On Merino Beanie is odor-resistant and wrinkle-proof letting you wear it all the time with any outfit.

Most running shoes are extremely breathable and lightweight which doesn’t always bode well for colder temps. And numb toes can be one of the most uncomfortable feelings during a run.

Feetures Merino 10 Cushion Quarter Socks will keep feet warm, dry and cushioned in cold or wet conditions. On top of how warm they are, Merino wool is incredible at wicking moisture away to prevent sweat and dampness from chilling your feet.

Targeted compression and extra cushioning in high-impact areas keep the feet cozy and comfortable while the quarter-length sock height gives the ankles just enough coverage from the elements.
