Love this time of year...dark nights , rain ..perfect running weather for me. Always struggle in the Summer

[@paulhoulden]

Same, I get a buzz out of it!

[@Run4Adventure]

Everyone's different Gary 👍 I run with lots of guys who don't like the heat but give me the sun any day of the week 🌞 Thanks for watching!

[@Jon-hb6gx]

Yep, same here! The calendar's toughest 3-4 months for running are over 😁 (I'm also in the UK). Funny how different we all are 👍

[@killforkylie]

Me too.Give me cold, wet, tired and covered in mud anytime. If you want to be comfortable stay in bed!

[@Run4Adventure]

@@killforkylie I obviously still run when it's wet, muddy and dark but I prefer the warming summer weather 👍

I love winter running a lot more than summer running. Thanks for pointing the merino long sleeves companies, I'm interested!

[@Elscorpio606]

me too

[@adventurecats4816]

Thanks for the info! I live in NW Oregon and I think we have similar winter weather (cold and wet). Run4Adventure is my favorite running channel. I love the optimism and your positive mentality. Keep on running!

[@manuel_877]

Good afternoon Run4adventure and all the runners. Thanks for this review. The Autumn is coming, Loyd. Here is my like. A nice Friday for everyone. ☀️🏃‍♂️🌧

[@wk633]

I run a lot at night on roads. For rear visibility I picked up a Kiprun Kalenji, Running Light from Decathlon. $15USD. Best thing is it doesn't need a battery. There's a small magnet and coil inside. As you run the bounce makes a current that flashes the red LED. I clip it on the back of my hat.

[@51sicboy]

I live in Nebraska and winter is my favorite season to run in. It adds another dynamic and seems less noisy.

[@gorohit]

Reflective laces is actually a brilliant idea! I didn't know that we can get them separately. Also, the socks. Thanks a ton!

[@Run4Adventure]

No worries Rohit, thanks for watching 🙏😊

[@chrisgardiner4998]

Laces, new sock company and the Fenix back light. Some great tips in here Loyd. Thanks for another great and well timed video!

[@ashleyholbrook9396]

I'd never heard of Artilect until your review earlier in the year. Bought myself a Flat Iron 185 top just last week. Not worn it yet for running but tried it on and it feels really good quality.

[@Run4Adventure]

Their apparel is brilliant, some of the best baselayers I've ever worn! I really hope you enjoy your top Ashley and thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏😊

[@seanwise7464]

I don’t see many gilet/ vest and arm warmer options targeted for running but I use this setup in fall and spring cycling and it works great when you have big temperature swings from start to end of runs ( or rides)

[@jefejeffwell1113]

I honestly prefer cold runs to the Florida summer. Moving to Indiana has provided a huge amount of improvement in my running with the hills and cooler weather.

[@Run4Adventure]

Cooler weather definitely help Jefe but I wouldn't call a British winter cool, more like wet, dark and miserable! 😂😂

[@jefejeffwell1113]

@@Run4Adventure 😂. It’s wet here, but not as often as the UK. It’s the ice that gets me. I’ll be running and turn into a newborn deer.

[@ianl4518]

Good selection there Loyd. Do you ever run in long tights? I have the OMM brand ones and they've lasted a few winters now and also have handy side pockets. Very impressed with them. Interested in checking out that Fenix rear light as well. As a cyclist, one piece of kit I'd recommend for winter is some good quality clear glasses. If you have a beanie on and no peak, sometimes the driving rain get in your eyes, or brambles can scratch. Normally a running cap deals with this but I rarely wear a cap at night.

[@henya2409]

Hi there, which OMM pants do you wear? Thx

[@jessebutler9352]

I love my dark rainy runs out here on Vancouver Island. For me nothing beats 7-10 degrees, dark grey and soggy runs. My wife thinks I’m crazy.

[@Run4Adventure]

I think your crazy to Jesse! 😂 Everyone's different I suppose, give me sunshine any day of the week. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏

I’m the opposite and riding around dartmoor on a road bike is horrific 😂

I can back loyds comments on the fenix head torch. The best I’ve ever used. Power battery life and reasonable weight. Found out about from this channel.

Wow, longsleeves in winter... When I go jogging in winter here in Russia, I consider putting on valenki, just to make sure I do not get stuck in some snow pile 😆

[@Jon-hb6gx]

The issue I have with many Gore-Tex clothing is that they insist on a displaying huge Gore-Tex logos; the Ronhill running jacket is no exception. Quality should be classy. I can't spend money and have that ghastly wording on my arm in large type. Might just be me...

[@Jon-hb6gx]

Hey Loyd, loving the channel, thanks for the great videos. I'm in need of a new running jacket but understand Shakedry is being discontinued due to environmental reasons. What other waterproof, breathable jackets do you recommend that won't break the bank? Thanks Louis

Great video. I’m especially interested in the the Artilect base layer. Can I just ask if you wear your normal running shirt size? The Ronhill jacket looks awesome too 👍🏻

[@Run4Adventure]

Thanks Martyn 👍 The Artilect apparel is brilliant, probably the best base layer in cold conditions I've ever used! I tend to wear a medium in everything and the baselayer is a perfect fit in a medium. Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel 🙏😊

[@TheAjlister]

Hi loyd, I think the information you share is second before none and is immensely appreciated. However I have been trying to get my hands on the shakedry by ronhill and it turns out it has been discontinued ant the closest thing to it is the Tech Gore-Tex Mercurial Jacket. It would be great if you could do a review on this one to compare it to the shakedry.

[@Run4Adventure]

Thanjs that's really appreciated 🙏 It's a shame that the Ronhill jacket has been discontinued, it's a great jacket. I'll see what I can do with the other jacket 🤔 Thanks for watching 😊

[@jacobrocks7]

Try running in the deep cold and snow of Canada

[@bilaltahir9978]

Would you use a waterproof gilet in moderate to heavy trail runs or just very light rainy or windy (with no rain) weather? And am I correct that the back is not waterproof? Won't water get in through the back? Similarly, I guess there is no protection for your arms but probably not a big problem as long as your core is protected?

[@trocomerlo]

Loyd, you wouldn't miss summer if you lived the Spanish summer... I could not wait to get to September and run with human-friendly temperatures.

[@nathanbaker1727]

I'm UK based and my favourite time is Autumn/Spring for running quick 😂 I still prefer winter over summer anyway, but I think that's because when I started it was winter!

[@JakeShaft85]

I'vent run outdoors in winter for almost 15 years. When it gets cold between -15-20 degrees I have to breath so slow it feels pointless running.

[@grahamstenson8571]

Great video Lloyd - really useful. What tee do you wear with your Saysky gilet, a merino one? Pity the gilet is out of stock now...

It depends what the weather is like. If its in the middle of winter and its cold, definitely a long sleeve merino baselayer from SAYSKY or Artilect 👍 Hope this helps Graham and thanks for watching the channel 🙏😊

Hi Mate, What was the Artilect base layer you were wearing? They have several versions of base layer and I am after the softest. Like you I have ups and downs with Merino but I know if you get a good quality top it works really well. I have had a few Merino tops, the best being the Odlo one I bought last year, but even that now is starting to irriate my skin and chaffe. Thanks

[@Run4Adventure]

Hi Rob It was their 185 Flatiron baselayer. I've been so impressed with the quality, great for winter running! www.artilect.studio/m-flatiron-185-crew-2211130-ad-ah-1236#selection.color=6571

[@melaniebailey3446]

Hi Lloyd, please can I ask - how much of a difference is there between the breathability of the Shakedry and the Harrier running jackets? Is it a ‘night and day’ kind of difference, or just a little more breathability in the Shakedry? Many thanks! 🙏

[@melaniebailey3446]

P.S. found the Artilect base layer on Sigma Sports for £34! And I’ve bought the little light too - amazing quality and brightness in such a small package! That’s going to live in my running vest over the winter. Great video, thanks! 👍

[@Run4Adventure]

It really is 'night and day' different Melanie. The Ronhill jacket is a lot more breathable, you do get what you pay for when it comes to breathability 👍 That's a total bargain, £34 for that baselayer is awesome! 😊
