Choosing the Right Gear
When it comes to exercising in cold weather, the right outerwear is crucial. For example, the Oros Apparel quarter-zip pullover uses Aerogel insulation to keep you warm without added bulk, similar to Patagonia's Tres 3-in-1 Parka which also provides warmth without bulk. However, The North Face Thermoball Jacket is another option that provides similar warmth at a lower price point.
Staying Visible and Hydrated
Unlike summer workouts where hydration is more obvious, winter workouts require equal attention to hydration. Wear bright colors when exercising outdoors in the winter, and consider a reflective vest for extra safety, just like road cyclists use during early morning rides. Additionally, staying hydrated is just as important in cold weather as it is in warm weather, so be sure to drink plenty of water before, during, and after your workout.
