The Best Cold Weather Athletic Wear for Winter

Years ago my sister and I joined a outdoor boot camp class that had one major rule, you had to wear beanie, sweater, and no zip-up jackets. Although strange, they did this to prevent us from getting sick. Since sweating and chilly weather can likely lead to a cold. It can also lower your body temperature and decrease stamina. This affects your athletic performance. 

In LA the temperatures don’t drop drastically, but it is important to wear fabrics that keep you dry and warm. Even when I workout indoors, I never step outside without proper athletic wear on. 

Here are brands that have developed innovative fabrics that are great for colder weather.

UnderArmor COLDGEAR ARMOUR are lightweight fabrics that keep you warm. This apparel line has an interior thermo fabric to absorb and retains your body heat.

Nike Pro Combat Hyperwarm apparel helps regulate body temperatures. The technology allows the fabric to be breathable and water resistance to keep warm in a variety of weather conditions.

Reebok ActiveChill apparel was created with a irregular pentagon-shaped fibers to allow airflow. This helps cool the body and keep you dry.
