So I really enjoy walking/jogging outside.  I live in New Hampshire, so it gets COLD COLD COLD here in the Winter.  This morning I went for a walk this morning, a quick 15 minute walk mind you, and it was about 15 degrees.  I thought I was going to never feel my feet again!!  SOOOO COLD.

Any suggestions on cold weather, outdoor gear?  Socks?  Leggings?  Outerwear?  Traction things for my shoes so I have less of a chance of killing myself on slippery paths/sidewalks?

I do my winter running inside on the treadmill, but I have used these before when I go hiking in the winter: https://www.yaktrax.com/  They work pretty well, and would probably be worth a try.

Oh the the DREADmill, we have a love hate relationship!  And right now my treadmill is in storage until we close on our new house.  So outdoors is my only option!

Drymax Winter Running Socks

Also, Old Navy has a Go Warm line that works well :)

I'm interested in answers to this two. My hubby got me fleece lined running pants for Xmas, they are a God send...my legs would freeze. 

I need socks that'll keep my toes warm and a face mask.

I don't really run/walk in the cold, when I did I had to dress up like a little eskimo. I do like to bike ride so you'll have to make an investment in clothes that will keep you warm but will let you breathe. Check out stores like Modells & Sports Authority.

I usually wear winter tights, wool socks, sometimes I use those heat warmers that get hot when exposed to air, I put them in my gloves/put on the bottom of my socks.

Layer, layer, layer! I used to work outdoors in my old job & you can always peel off layers if you need to. I usually have a base fleece shirt, followed by a regular shirt/jersey. Then I'd have a wooly thin jacket/a kind of jacket made for cold weather, if needed I'd wear a waterproof jacket on top of it. I have a thin scarf to wear around my chin & neck & a thin hat under my helmet.

I know it sounds like a lot, but I hate being cold!
