Question: I got a real good feel as to what to wear in warmer weather this year. Now that the temp is dipping in to teens-30's, what do you wear? Confused

If it's not windy a wicking top and fleece is good. Single layer of pants. If it's bitter cold and/or windy I will add long undies under my pants and a windbreaker...and maybe 2 wicking layers on top. On my hands fleece gloves and hat. This year I have a couple of balaclavas for really nasty stuff. k

This morning in Toronto it was -6°C with a wind chill of -16°C (21°F - feels like 3°F) I wore a long sleeve wicking base layer. Short sleeve technical t-shirt and a wind breaker. Fired a Touque on my head (or hat for our friends not from Canada) and a pair of gloves. Oh yeah... winter tights and a pair of winter undies to protect Larry, his brother Darryl and his other brother Darryl. Felt like a champ... but could have used some eye protection. JR

Just so we get everyone on the same page using Wikipedia... tuque = beanie, knit hat, knit cap, sock cap, stocking cap, toboggan, boggan, skull cap, skully, warm winter hat, ski capor, or ski cap I call it a knit cap.

Just got back...about the same temps as you this AM JR - wore a short sleeve tech, a long sleeve tech, long sleeve sweatshirt and a thin Running windbreaker. Biker short undies, running pants and extra pair of shorts. I too donned a touque. This turned out perfect. The only thing I change as iut gets colder is a slightly heavier Northface jacket , a 2nd pair of running pants and a pullover neck / mouth warmer. Oh, and sunglasses to combat the wind and cold in the eyes.

My run this morning consisted of 25 degrees and all the slush and ice you could stand. The only good thing was that I was running and the sun was out and the wind wasn't blowing. (only got sprayed by one car) DB

25 degrees?? Wow, you're lucky! It's -1 here right now. I would love to see 25 degrees on the thermometer.
