Winter running clothing?

[Al Fowler]

Ok....now winter is arriving i suddenly had a worry the other day - i dont actually have any running gear to wear in really tripe cold weather when on't fells.

So...what should i buy?

Well having survived a freezing, horizontal rain storm in May and a couple of blizzards in June, all you need is some seal skin gloves, two layers instead of one underneath your waterproof/wind proof, a wooly hat and shorts of course with helly weatherproof pants on underneath.

Al, I've just had a look back through Equipment section and there are many useful threads including several started by you

Ive got this fancy base layer top i used to wear for cricket (canterbury) and i reckon that would keep me nice and warm.
Ive got my omm jacket so thats that bit sorted.

The helly watrproofpants though, do they not rash/chafe?

Aaaaargh! Nooooo! If the beach volleyball authorities can ban one-piece swimming costumes for women, surely the FRA can do something about this sort of thing?

Personally...if a man wishes to wear running tights....shorts MUST be worn over the top!
