I just started running this summer,up till now I,ve got away with wearing shorts and vest. But this week weather has turned "Baltic",Irecently purchased a pair of running tight and they are fine. I have also bought a rain proof jacket for wet weather. It is fine first mile or so but as I sweat a lot I find it to hot for longer runs.It has vents at back to let air through but even with zip down to waist, there's still not enough air going through.So was wondering what the rest of the Sweaties wore on a cold windy day.

I suppose a wicking t shirt or long sleave shirt is good. But I haven't worked out for myself yet what to wear, when it is really cold.?My wooly jumper?
I think I might be too sweaty in a jacket, but I may have to try one.
i soon get chilly after getting sweaty which is quite often as I am fast walking not running!
shorts to keep the tops of my legs warm;
a long sleeved wicking shirt and a gillet.
It was a bit warmer this morning so I wore a short sleeved dry fit type shirt under the gillet.
I find the gillet great for stopping the cold
hitting you in the chest
tracksters and lycra shorts and nylon waterproof trousers - two pairs of socks!
I feel the cold and it was damp and chilly but not surprisingly I got warm and sweaty - especially my legs but I was impressed with the wick t as it was dry although the cotton top was damp where my rucksack had been
think probably some more technical stuff would have helped and ditch the cotton and nylon things!
We could do with some advice about hats and gloves and maybe socks for that matter, to be complete
I know it's abit of an extreme solution, but have you considered laser eye surgery. I had mine done in April and can highly recommend it!
On a different note short hair does mean cold ears, so I would like advice on a hat (preferably one that doesn't have teacosy tendancies)
But NOT good when you cant seein the rain and youre fogged up
Would love to try laser surgery, but as Ive only got one pair of rather defective eyes, im scared
I need a good waterproof jacket/leggings but don't know where to get them from - not too keen buying them over the net as I like to try things on really, and I hate sending things back.

My winter kit consists of Adidas climalight full length tights, Ron Hill longsleeved lightweight thermal top and, most important a pertex wind shirt. Also, hat and gloves. This combination has always kept me warm enough in the severest of conditions.
Cold running
Gloves you can get some nike gloves about 6.99 a pair from sweatshop - very thin but warm, not too warm that you get that weird tickly feeling.
On top - I try layers - wicking long sleeved t-shirt or a heavier mizuno half fleece type thing and then a thin but warm zip front jacket (something you can take off and tie round you is good)
On bottom - shorts and maybe tights - wear ronhills in winter is too cold to care about the fact that i look like a vey overweight ballerina.
Although I look silly, It's unlikely anyone will take the p**s though - i'm slightly intimidating in winter with a very scary lips drawn back, grimaced determination when running
