Winter running jackets

Which trail or running jacket for winter running?

Winter running presents unique challenges: explore our CimAlp winter running jacket range to be perfectly equipped to face the cold, wind, and rain. When choosing your winter running jacket, keep these key factors in mind:

• Waterproofing and windproofing: Protect yourself against the elements while maintaining a stable body temperature.
• Insulation or lining: Good insulation retains body heat, which is essential in cold conditions.
• Breathability: It is crucial that your jacket wicks away moisture to prevent the chilling effect of sweat.
• Visibility features: Days are shorter in winter, so reflective elements will help you stay visible during morning or night-time runs.

How to kit yourself out for running in winter?

The 3-layer approach is your best ally for running comfortably in winter:

• First layer: Opt for a technical base layer that wicks away sweat and keeps your body dry.
• Second layer: Add a warm fleece jacket or a gilet for extra insulation.
• Third layer: Finish with a CimAlp winter running jacket, which will will protect you from wind and rain while allowing moisture to escape.

How to choose the right size for your winter running jacket?

Choosing the right size is crucial for the effectiveness of your winter running jacket. Make sure it is large enough to layer the two pieces underneath without being too loose, which could increase wind resistance. A precise fit promotes better insulation while allowing the freedom of movement essential for running.

What to wear in extreme cold for winter running?
