"With the right attitude, focus and gear winter running can be pretty fun, and when spring finally rolls around you will be glad you braved winter training. Where I live, in the Pacific Northwest, it is usually raining, or snowing, or both, so layering and wearing the right baselayers are key for my running."

— David Laney, Craft Elite Run Team Member

"I need cross country gear that fits my needs - breathability, warmth and versatility. Like most former racers, a good baselayer is the start of a good day. And then layering in either a long sleeve shirt or lightweight jacket and vest works for most days in my area but thicker jackets work for me when it gets colder, as long as my output is more than medium. I wear more pants than tights these days and love a full zip pant for versatility. "

— Paul Randall, Craft Ambassador

"As a cyclist who rides year round in cold conditions, I look for products that are windproof because air circulation is what causes cold arms, legs, feet and torso. Plus, using windproof or wind blocking clothes lets me cut down on the bulk I'd need otherwise to insulate myself. And most importantly I also make sure to layer."
