Well, folks, it's happening. My morning hikes now require a down jacket and a hat, and it's only getting colder from here. If you're like me and like to exercise outside, the light windbreaker just isn't cutting it anymore. Even if you're working out in a gym or studio, you still need to get from point A to point B, and that's where these 10 pieces of winter workout outerwear come in.
Whether you want a light puffer jacket, a cozy vest, or something fleece and warm, these are the pieces that are going to get you through the winter. Some are colorful, some are basic black, but they're all going to keep you warm and comfortable. We're particularly sweet on pieces you can easily pack in a suitcase, because some of our favorite winter athletic activities require us to travel, like skiing or snowboarding. Plus, if you're concerned about weather resistant pieces, we found options for you too, as well as cozy fleece styles you'll want to wear in and out of the house. Keep on reading to shop our picks!
