If you're tempted to stop running in the winter or retreat to the gym, think again. Whether it's getting out for fresh air and daylight on crisp, blue-sky days, or blowing away the cobwebs in the dark and rain after work, running outdoors can make winter more bearable.

With a few changes to your attire and some nifty accessories, you can stay warm and dry and be safer. You won't need all of the below - it depends on where you run, how far and what time of day you get out. Everything featured is either unisex or available in women's and men's versions.
