The right running shoes for jogging in winter

Comfortable shoes are essential for training, no matter what the temperature . The running shoes have to fit well and comfortably, offer support and ensure a safe running feeling.

Running clothing for low temperatures

Certainly not only shoes are part of running clothing. In winter, clothing for jogging should not only be breathable and functional, but also keep you warm. Additional items of clothing such as scarves, gloves or a hat are also recommended in cold weather. We show example outfits for women and men.

The running pants from Kalenji were specially developed for low temperatures and keep you warm even at minus five degrees Celsius. It has a slightly loose cut and is therefore comfortable. This is also ensured by the soft and warm fabric as well as the flat and wide waistband with integrated drawstring, which ensures a good fit. The running tights are breathable and side vents ensure quick moisture wicking. The zip pocket on the back is practical and can be used to store personal items such as keys or an MP3 player.

Women's running clothes

When it's cold, it can be useful to layer layers in order to find the right balance between sweating and freezing. When jogging in winter, it also makes sense to wear thermal underwear and a jacket or to put on gloves. With this clothing you are properly dressed from head to toe even at low temperatures:

A well-fitting sports bra is particularly important for women when running. We recommend the Free Motion N from Triaction by Triumph, which is suitable for high-impact sports thanks to its strong, woven material with a honeycomb structure. The sports bra offers reliable support and minimizes breast movement.

Thanks to the high level of breathability and anti-sweat zones, sweat doesn't stand a chance and the skin stays dry even during exertion. Elastic straps and a wide underbust band also ensure a high level of comfort. You can choose between two carrier positions: normal or racerback.

The best clothing for men for jogging in winter

ADVERTISEMENTAirtracks Winter Thermo Functional Running Set66,9569,95469,90

This set of functional trousers and shirt is perfect for autumn and winter: it is breathable, windproof and highly water-repellent, making it ideal for cool days. The inside of the thermal pants is roughened, which provides optimal heat protection for the body. With its fleece lining, the top is also ideal for changeable weather and cold and also ensures a comfortable fit.

The ergonomic cut and the reflectors, which ensure better visibility in the dark season, are also advantageous. The only drawback is a missing pocket on the upper part for the house key or the like. With a narrow hip bag that fits like a belt, you can still transport personal items safely.

The practical set of thermal running trousers and shirt is available in different colors and is also available for women.

Men's running clothes

The same applies to men: several layers ensure pleasant temperatures when running, so the onion look is also recommended for men. We have put together practical clothing for winter running, from hats to jackets to socks:

The right equipment for better visibility when jogging in winter

If you don't want to pay attention to visibility with your clothing, you can Supplement running clothing with additional reflector bands around the upper arms and/or ankles. They ensure better visibility in the dark season and thus help to prevent accidents and injuries. They have the advantage that, thanks to Velcro fasteners, they can be used flexibly and are easy to use.

The USB rechargeable LED bracelets from Lanpard are even a lot safer. Due to their high luminosity, they ensure good visibility even in the dark morning and evening hours. This is also supported by the three modes of permanent light, fast and slow flashing, which can be changed by simply pressing a button. The length of the straps can be flexibly adjusted between 27 and 32 centimetres, and they sit securely on the arm thanks to Velcro fasteners.

Headlamp for better visibility in the dark

If you not only want to be seen, but also want to expand your own field of vision, you are well advised to use a headlamp. The model from Winzwon is ideal for winter runs: It weighs only 74 grams and is splash-proof according to IPX5 and can therefore be used even when it is wet. The headband is also easy to adjust and comfortable.

The light intensity of the lamp is 200 lumens and the burn time is up to 20 hours. However, it depends on the selected mode. The five modes High Light, Low Light, Flashing, Red Light, Red Light Flashing are available. In any case, it can be fully recharged via USB in just 2.5 hours.

Equipment for jogging in winter: fitness trackers and smartwatches

The big advantage of running is that you don't need much more than the right shoes and clothing. However, some accessories can still be useful: With a fitness tracker or a smartwatch, for example, you can always keep an eye on your vital signs while jogging. You also keep track of the route you have run.

While fitness trackers focus on the essentials during training, smartwatches have the advantage that you can leave your phone at home and still have all smartphone functions available. The test-winning smartwatch from Apple is particularly recommended:

DISPLAYApple Watch Series 6459.00459.00459.00

For the "test" issue 12/2021, Stiftung Warentest examined eleven smartwatches. The test winner was the Apple Watch 6 with the overall grade "good (2.0)". It convinced the testers with extensive functions, precise measurement of fitness data and good handling.

With practical features such as navigation via GPS, heart rate measurement and many fitness functions, the Apple Watch 6 is a good companion for jogging in winter. And the watch from Apple is also impressive as a smartwatch for everyday use.

Anyone for whom the test winner is too expensive can get an overview of cheaper models in our article on recommended smartwatches under 200 euros.

The right headphones for on the go

DISPLAYJBL Bluetooth headphones Reflect Flow99,9999,99119,00

Wireless headphones with a comfortable but firm fit, such as the Reflect Flow in-ear headphones from JBL, are particularly recommended for running. According to Stiftung Warentest, they are among the best in-ears with Bluetooth on the market with an overall rating of "good (1.7)".

They are ideal as equipment for jogging in winter because they are weatherproof with the high protection class IPX7, easy to handle and deliver excellent sound. Thanks to the Bluetooth connectivity, no cables get in the way when running and the battery life of almost ten hours is easily sufficient even for longer tours.
