What type of clothing is good for running?

Answer 1

Keep in mind that once you get going it will feel about 10 degress warmer then when you started. But you still want to protect your self from the cold and or frost bite.

If it's very cold then wear a thermal under layer. Don't wear any thing cotton close to the skin in winter. Sweat can cause the cotton to stick and chaff the skin. You want to stick with moisture wicking fabrics. Then some warm track pants and sweater / jacket. Also protect your head, hands and ears from the cold. Another thing you can do is layer up your socks.

Answer 2

"The type of clothing that is good for running would depend on how you want to feel when you run. This would depend on the time of year and the temperature, and whether you like the feeling of loose or tighter fitting clothing. But usually a breathable fabric that will stretch somewhat is good for this activity."

Answer 3

"You need to have support (men need good briefs or an athletic supporter, women need a good sport bra). You need to wear good fitting underwear that wicks away moisture. Socks should be cotton (special running socks may be worn if you have problems with blisters). In the summer you only need a cotton shirt and shorts that don't rub. In the winter, you need to add layers with the first layer being some sort of tech shirt (cotton holds moisture in cold weather). Layers ensure that you do not get too hot (you can remove some)."

Answer 4

Many people need different running gear for winter depending on the weather in your area. Most recommended items are hats, gloves, a tight fitting jacket and under gear.
