[Closed] Running novice needs clothing help please!

Im a big fan of merino baselayers and a wicking t-shirt on top. I find the light and medium weight merino moderates my body temp better.
I sometimes wear leggings

I run in shorts and a long sleeve top even in winter. I've started wearing a hat and gloves since the weathers turned, but I suppose it's each to their own.

Ron Hill (type) leggings are deservedly popular. You could try a lightweight pertex top to pull off when you warm up. Same with the hat and gloves - you just need somewhere to stuff them.

As thecaptain says, Ron Hills. Great for cold weather. Stretchy, cheap and you cant kill them with a stick. Tights for when its really cold and wet. Ron Hills hang off you when they are wet.
Helly Hansens are better than wool for running IMO as they hold almost no moisture and breath much better. A thin top over that and you can run in most weather.
Dont worry about waterproof jackets as you will end up just as wet inside once you start to sweat. A breathable jacket is best just to keep the wind off your chest.

+1 for Ronhill tracksters, especially the ones with the stirrups.
I also run hot and a wicking t-shirt and long sleeve top are all I ever need. As above, not much need for a jacket, you'll just boil

If there's a decathlon nearby they have pretty good own brand stuff for way cheaper than the big names.

Last night I ran in a long sleeve base, with a short sleeve underneath it, decathlon shorts and tights with a decathlon running cap and some merino glove liners. I've re ently found that the gloves and hat mean I need less clothing everywhere else.

I`m just off for parkrun 5km in Trowbridge ,wearing cheap Karrimor leggings ,a tenner from Sports Direct .I tried the heavyweight ones but didnt like them .Upper body I just wear a wicking base layer and a t shirt

Ron hills down. Merino with Montane fearherlite top.

As the clothing doesn't have as tough a job to do as bike clothung id have thought most of it will work ok.

I have some decathlo tights that do me through the winter, merino long sleeve and either wicking vest or windstopper top for minus celcius days - gloves and hat essential also.

I will never, ever wear Ron Hills, no item of clothing looks worse.

Well I suppose if looks are more important than function to you then knock yourself out. There is a reason some of our greatest distance runners have worn them for decades and its not really because they "look good"

Adidas tights (cheap from Sports Direct), thin long sleeved base layer (also cheap from Sports Direct) and a t-shirt on top. Buff and running gloves when it's cold, and hat when it's really cold.

For rain I ditch the t-shirt and add a Montane Pertex top.

A wind proof top with full length front zip to regulate temperature as
required ,zip up side pockets so thermal hat and gloves can be removed and not lost ,leggings optional but if really cold HH do underpants with a wind proof front panel , keeps John Thomas well happy.

My fave running kit is: montane marathon jacket, omm 3/4 tights and under armour storm beanie.

HH classic blue LIFA top. Sorted.

Shorts - you will warm quickly enough. If not tights. Classic RHs sit a bit low at the back for me. So either Nike or adidas tights. The latter are less durable in the crotch area though.

I use Skins A200 leggings in the winter with Gore shorts over the top; 1000 Mile Fusion socks; Canterbury Cold baselayer (long sleeve or short sleeve, depending on the weather); Craft Extreme windstopper long-sleeve top layer; Altura skullcap.

I wore gloves when I first started but don't really bother these days.

When things warm up a little I drop the Canterbury baselayer and during the summer I only wear the socks, shorts (with lycra shorts underneath) and a wicking, technical top.

Sponsorship?

Plenty of alternatives that perform as well without making you look like a 70s pervert.

Sponsorship?

You may be missing the point here. They are for running in, not standing around in. You know that right?

This whole 70's pervert thing... is there something you would like to get off your chest?

I just worked out that my 3 pairs of tracksters are nearly 20 years old!and not a rip on them...that's good going. I used to wear them and a normal t-shirt under a long sleeve t-shirt with plain cotton gloves when I was training. Didn't stop me running fast just because it all cost next to nothing.

That's the beauty of running, it's one of the only sports that's barely affected by technology and equipment. It's just you and your dedication/grit/ability to suffer. Always a runner at heart even though the body says no these days, I still imagine I could run a 4min 1500m if I stepped on a track now! (note the word 'imagine').

The tracksters now get used under my work trousers on cold days.

did the grim original 8 mile today, not too cold but lots of water to run through around thigh height with one upto the chest. (if you take the wrong line like me..)
my clothing of choice is under Armour cold gear. performs fairly well in the wet and cold and is tight fit so doesnt sag in the water and has a soft feel on inside.
in non wet conditions i like some basic asics shorts a helly hansen long sleave base with any tech t-shirt over the top.

some nutters were running round in just skin tight gold pants, fury onesies, suits, nun outfits, batman suits etc, so i guess we can safely say that you can run in ANYTHING and it will work.
just make sure your trainers and socks work
