Winter run kit essentials from our friends at ThermaTech
17 July 2021
With the cooler weather upon us, one of the most important pieces of your running kit is a good baselayer garment. Baselayer garments are any items of clothing that are warm next to your skin i.e. long sleeve thermal, beanie, gloves, socks.
While you want to be warm, you don't want to overheat when you are out for a training run or walk, and staying dry is also essential. Well-designed baselayer garments are specifically designed to help your body regulate your temperature so you don’t overheat. They also provide great moisture-wicking properties and odour control. The worst thing is when it’s cold and windy outside and your top is soaked in sweat.
What to look for in a baselayer?
Thermoregulation: Effective temperature control. Warm in winter, cool in summer.
Lightweight 170gsm: Freedom from wearing heavy clothes during winter.
Body Fit: It's made to fit you snugly. This ensures that cold air is prevented from entering your body when you are participating in outdoor activities.
Breathable: Designed to draw perspiration away from the body to keep you dry all year round.
