The cold has arrived very intensely in our country and . Any running enthusiast who has been practicing it for a while will already know the importance of dressing appropriately to avoid feeling cold, but without overdoing it so we don't have to carry too much clothing.

Therefore, . The number of layers will depend on the temperature. For mild weather, two layers are recommended, and for very cold weather, three layers. All these layers must be well thought out and must be suitable for maintaining the correct temperature, so we don't need to carry more layers or, on the contrary, so we don't overdo it and end up getting too hot.

Technical t-shirts for the first layer

The first layer we'll put on, whether in mild weather or in significant cold, is a t-shirt. In this case, it's up to us to choose a long-sleeve or short-sleeve t-shirt, depending on our needs, preferences, and the temperature.

What is highly recommended, regardless of the sleeve length we choose, is . This type of t-shirt helps wick away sweat, so it doesn't stay stuck to our body. We'll avoid cotton t-shirts, which tend to soak up sweat and accumulate it.

Thus, some brands have created their own technologies that help wick away sweat and create t-shirts that repel sweat and moisture and help us stay drier. This is the case with Nike's Dri-Fit fabric, which helps wick sweat and maintain an appropriate temperature.

Additionally, if we want more protection, we can get a t-shirt like those from Under Armour that feature SPF +30 sun protection. And it's that, . Especially if we're going out for a run in snowy places.

The second layer: a sweatshirt

This layer is also essential. Whether we're in mild weather or at a very low temperature, it's a garment we need to wear. In fact, it's possible that in the coldest temperatures, once we warm up, we'll take off the third layer and the sweatshirt becomes even more important.

The function of this second layer isn't so much to wick away sweat – although it does that too – but rather . To do this, we sometimes make the mistake of looking for sweatshirts that are too thick and heavy, made from unsuitable materials that don't retain heat but rather generate it excessively, and they're also heavy and lack appropriate materials.

Therefore, we'll look for sweatshirts made from lightweight, soft materials that have the ability to retain heat. Some brands like Reebok have developed specific technologies, such as PlayWarm, which help retain body heat while also controlling moisture.

We'll also look for a type of sweatshirt that helps cover areas like the neck, our throat, and even the wrists. High-neck sweatshirts with sleeves that allow you to insert your fingers, so that your wrists are perfectly covered, are the most suitable options.

Jackets and windbreakers for when it's colder

On the coldest days, the last layer we'll use, over the t-shirt and sweatshirt, will be a jacket, . We must keep in mind that this option is more advisable on days when it's really very cold, since otherwise, the other two layers are usually sufficient and we end up having to carry too much clothing.

In this third layer, what we're looking for, precisely, is to be able to combat the most extreme temporary situations. Therefore, it's advisable that when choosing a jacket or vest, we get one whose material is waterproof.

If we're looking for the option of using this jacket or windbreaker as a second layer, instead of a sweatshirt, on some occasions, we'll need to look for one capable of covering the need to maintain body heat.

Hats, gloves, and neck warmers to complete the outfit

Of course, during these months, getting a good hat to keep your head and ears warm, gloves for your hands, and a neck warmer for your neck can be essential. These usually don't bother us, we tend not to need to take them off, and if necessary, they can be stored in the pockets of sweatshirts or jackets.

Especially in the case of gloves, it can also be interesting to get ones that offer and sweat wicking, so that it doesn't accumulate on your hands either.
