On a mission to find sale and/or (relatively) affordable skiwear.
would also love the lowdown on your tried and true winter running gear. all my stuff is a decade old and i need a refresh + motivation to get out there!
Hi Amy! Yes, love to hear this! My choices aren't that exciting, but they do the job. And like you, most of it is at least a decade old!
These are my top layers which I add/subtract depending on how cold it is, and that I can strip off during the run as I warm up/cool down:
Layer 1: I wear a Lululemon or MEC base layer that clings to the body.
Layer 2: On top of that I wear something like this: https://www.mec.ca/en/product/6011-747/rockwall-half-zip-midlayer?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI29HwlMvpggMV9AytBh0trADWEAQYBCABEgJnhfD_BwE&colour=Obsidian&gad_source=1
Layer 3: On top that I wear a fleece zip up like this: https://www.mec.ca/en/product/6009-286/fireside-fleece-jacket?colour=Wild+Berry%2FBlack
Layer 4: Finally, on top of that I wear this. https://ca.shop.runningroom.com/en_ca/new-balance-women-s-pmv-shutter-speed-jacket.html
Bottoms: I have levels of leggings: light, mid, heavy. And when it's REALLY cold, like -20C (-4F), I'll double up on the bottom, usually putting my MEC long underwear under my heaviest ilegging which is this one: https://shop.lululemon.com/en-ca/p/womens-leggings/Cold-Weather-HR-Running-Tight-28/_/prod11570306?color=0001.
I know you did a post about your glasses but would you mind sharing the link? Tnx.
Oh wait, are you talking about sunglasses? They’re Isabel Marant! https://rstyle.me/+wND2fV9bJHjqrFGZXMRtbA

No you got it right the first time. Thank you.
You’re welcome!
I haven’t skied in years, but you’re inspiring me with the fashion!
Ha! This is the year, Tess!
