      Running is our daily routine exercise A method of physical exercise, there are many male My friends all like it, but with the arrival of the cold winter, people can no longer exercise at home. In fact, it is much better to go out for a run than to exercise at home! Now let’s talk about the things that men should pay attention to when it comes to dressing for running.

      The weather is cold, so you need to take precautions to protect yourself from the cold when you go out for a run. Now let’s take a look at what men should pay attention to when dressing for running.

      1. Choose breathable underwear

      Underwear sticks to you skin That layer of clothing. It is best to be made of polyester fiber (polyester), so that it can quickly wick away sweat. There are many such products on the market. The main function of this type of product is to prevent excessive sweat from accumulating on the surface of your skin when running in winter (this will often happen if it is made of cotton).

      The result of excess sweat building up around your body is that as temperatures drop and wind speeds increase, you'll feel cold once you slow down or start to resume walking.

      2. Wear more layers

      As temperatures, customs, and other conditions change, you can adapt by putting on or taking off layers.

      3. The second layer of breathable fabric should be loosely woven (such as wool or similar fiber fabric)

      Typically you only need this layer on the coldest days, and wool will create an extra layer of insulation between your underwear and outer layer.

      4. Wear a breathable jacket made of wind-resistant and waterproof material

      Wind protection is very important. The main reason why we feel cold in winter is strong wind. You don't need an airtight jacket, but it does need to be water-resistant. The jacket should fit snugly and be lightweight. Many jackets can be easily folded up and put into small bags, making it easy to add or remove clothing as you go.

      5. The second layer of clothing and jacket should be zippered and not put over the head.

      This allows you to pull them apart or zip them up, allowing you to adjust your body temperature for comfort.

      6. Wear a woolen hat to protect your ears

      In cold weather, 50% of body heat is lost through the head. A suitable hat is a must for winter runners. Take it off when it's hot, put it on when it's cold.

      7. Protect the ends of limbs

      8. Mittens should protect your hands better than finger gloves.

      That said, mittens are warmer. Of course, split-finger gloves allow you to do a lot of things, like hold your car keys. However, on very cold days, especially windy days, opt for mittens.

      9. Don’t worry too much about your legs

      A runner's legs are better adapted to cold and wind than the torso and extremities. Generally speaking, all you need is a set of windproof leggings or trousers. When it's particularly cold and windy, I recommend wearing a pair of close-fitting long johns (which should also be made of high-tech fiber fabric that can wick away sweat) underneath the wind-relieving pants.

      These are the things men should pay attention to when dressing for running. Have you remembered it? Men’s Fitness tells you that the clothes you choose when running must not only keep warm, but also absorb sweat. It is best to choose loose-fitting clothes. Too tight will make you uncomfortable!
