Running in Winter: What to Wear When the Temp Drops

Staying motivated and warm when the temperature drops doesn’t need to be a struggle. Frosty mornings don’t need to be a mental battle with the right winter running clothing to keep you warm and comfortable. 

The cold air that catches in your throat and the damp trails that leave your shoes squelching are no match for our high quality technical running gear designed to keep you at your peak no matter what the weather. 

Here at SCODY, we make all of our products right here in Brisbane with the Australian weather conditions in mind at all times. Whether you’re chasing a new PB or simply ticking over with a modest winter routine, we’re here with a complete guide to cold weather activewear to keep you running all year round.

Why Cold Weather Doesn’t Have to Slow You Down

There are quite a few perks to running in winter that often get overlooked, even by the most determined members of the community. 

Less sweating, quieter footpaths, and a little boost in your endurance, thanks to the cooler air, are all popular reasons to keep your regular routine throughout the winter months. 

However, without the right clothing, those perks can quickly snowball into problems like tight muscles, wind chill, and that horrendous damp feeling you get when your sweat turns cold. 

Luckily, the solution is simple. Smart running gear choices allow you to remain warm without overheating by using thinner, breathable layers to improve your thermoregulation. When you invest in high quality, windproof running gear, your body and performance will thank you!

Transition Run Shirt

If you’re going to be keeping up with your regular routine and putting in some serious efforts, then a lightweight running shirt is a good investment. Paired with a gilet or jacket, a lightweight shirt is the ultimate staple for any running wardrobe. 

The moisture wicking, breathable, and anti-bacterial properties in the Lite Cool fabric we use in our transition run shirts make for a superior running performance all year round.

Mid Thigh Compression Tights

Compression tights are a brilliant addition to your winter routine. You can quickly improve your recovery and support your muscles by using compression tights after or during your workout routine. 

Our mid-thigh compression tights have incredible thermoregulation properties achieved by using Pro-Hydra Dura, which has excellent moisture wicking properties. Our tights also feature reinforced stitching and a wide waist elastic for improved durability and comfort.

Full Length Tights

Enjoy superb thermoregulation with our full length tights crafted from Pro-Hydra Dura fabric, which is renowned for its moisture wicking properties. 

Our full length tights are highly compressive due to their stretch profile, making them a fantastic choice for winter running. They also have reinforced stitching in high pressure areas as well as convenient storage pockets on the leg, and the SCODY flatter waist technology provides you with a comfortable, flattering fit.

CleanCool Socks

Keep your feet cool and fresh with our clean cool socks. There’s nothing worse than foot problems due to damp conditions, so our socks are the perfect companion for winter running.
