Waterproof Running Jackets
Waterproof running jackets are designed to repel rain completely, while also offering breathability to prevent overheating, and that clammy feeling nobody wants while running! Technical features such as sealed seams, adjustable hoods, and waterproof zips enhance performance and functionality, providing maximum protection against the elements. A waterproof jacket won't be as breathable as a windproof, but it's designed to allow as much moisture to escape from your body as possible.
Windproof Running Jackets
Windproof running jackets are engineered to effectively shield runners from wind chill, ensuring comfort even in brisk conditions. These jackets provide an insulating layer that maintains warmth without the bulk, allowing for ease of movement and breathability to prevent overheating. Additionally, many windproof jackets are treated with water-repellent finishes, making them a suitable choice for light rain or drizzle, further enhancing their versatility for outdoor activities in varying weather conditions.
Long-Sleeved Running Tops
Nobody likes to overheat while exercising, or enjoys getting the chills from a cold wet running top clinging to their back. The latter can be particularly unpleasant while running in cold weather. It's worth investing in a highly technical running top that will guarantee your perfect warmth-regulation and optimal moisture-transfer.
Look out for clever features like thumb-holes to keep your hands warm, reflective details to help you stay seen in low-light conditions and handy pockets. Some are made of merino wool for brilliant temperate regulation, odour-control and durability.

Running Leggings & Trousers
Running leggings and trousers are essential for optimising your performance and comfort during your runs. Our extensive collection includes technical running tights, designed with moisture-wicking fabrics, as well as loose running pants that provide breathability and freedom of movement. Both options ensure your legs remain warm and comfortable, allowing you to focus on your stride and reach your fitness goals effectively. Whether you're training for a marathon or enjoying a casual jog, investing in quality running bottoms can significantly improve your overall running experience.
Waterproof Trail Running Shoes
In winter we often have customers asking for waterproof running shoes. These are our top picks that will keep you feet dry and comfortable, thanks to the fully waterproof GORE-TEX membrane. Although they are all trail shoes, you can also use them for your road running if needed. Just be prepared that they might be ever so slightly heavier and more robust than your regular road running shoes.
Hats & Gloves
Hats and gloves are essential accessories for winter running, providing both warmth and comfort to help you maintain your performance in cold conditions. A well-fitted running hat can help regulate body temperature by wicking away moisture and preventing heat loss from your head, while gloves designed specifically for runners offer protection from the cold while allowing for dexterity and grip. By investing in high-quality hats and gloves, you can ensure that the drop in temperature doesn't hinder your outdoor activities, enabling you to enjoy your runs and maintain your fitness regimen throughout the winter months.
More Running Accessories
When running in winter, essential accessories can enhance safety and experience. A head torch illuminates dark paths, so choose one with adjustable brightness and a comfortable strap. GPS watches help monitor distance, pace, and heart rate, so opt for models with long battery life and route navigation. Additionally, weather-resistant headphones should fit securely and offer passive noise cancellation for music enjoyment while staying aware of your surroundings. You may want to use a hydration vest, as it allows easy access to water and energy gels, ensuring you stay hydrated and fueled during your runs in cold conditions without compromising mobility.
