Winter Newbie Essentials

FOR THAT LOVED ONE THAT IS JUST BEGINNING THEIR RUNNING OBSESSION.

New Balance Chameleon Jacket

$170 // The torso of the Chameleon is extra insulated, while the arms are made of a soft, towel like material to keep the runner’s core temperature up without overheating.

New Balance Delightfully Sculpted Running Bra

$58 // When we did our most comprehensive bra review ever earlier this year, this model was a big hit with our testers looking for excellent support.

Merrell Ergoluxe Balaclava Top

$85 // A cleverly designed top for a new runner. The hood and mask will keep the face warm without looking unfashionable.

Merrell Ergoluxe Legging

$75 // This elegant tight will also keep runners warm. The wrap-around double fabric construction looks great in addition to keeping key areas warm.

2XU Men’s Thermal Compression Tights

$130 // This tight is designed specifically to offer compression while running in a cool climate. Works great as a base layer or standalone tight on most winter days.

Saucony Omni LX Tight

$70 // This is Saucony’s bestselling tight. They’ve perfected the design so that it is stretchy and comfortable yet warm and wind resistant.

2XU Perform Multi Sport Jacket

$210 // This form-fitting winter jacket includes a well designed hood that fits snuggly around the head so that it won’t bob up and down during a run.

The North Face Runners 3 Overmitt

$40 // This mitt liner is a great idea for runners with an abundance of gloves but need something more significant on harsher days.

Ryders Strider Photochromic Sunglasses

$76 // Ryders have a reputation for making great value sports eyewear. These photochromic sunnies will cut the harsh winter glare.

Asics Thermostripe Half Zip

$85 // This stylish stripey winter shirt can work either as a base layer or as outerwear on a warmer winter day. It also looks great as sporty casual wear.

Helly Hansen Warm Balaclava

$30 // Let’s face it, if you’re a runner in Canada you’re going to need a balaclava at least a few times every winter. It fits snugly and doesn’t get waterlogged.
