What Not to Wear

A friend of mine who has recently taken up running was asking about what I wore in the cold today.  I was already thinking I should write it down because I learned a lot about running in the super cold today.  I completely over dressed and was forced to stop and take off layers mid-way through the run.  Today's run temperature started off at 15º and ended at 20º.  There was little to no wind and it was sunny on all the trail we ran on.

What I wore:
powercore top
zip up fleece
first layer capri length running tights
powercore running tights
wool socks
inov8 ankle gaiters
fleece mittens
cotton neck gaiter
microfleece beanie
visor (of course)
trail shoes
microspikes

What I took off as I ran:
beanie
neck gaiter
zip up fleece
mittens (I took them off and put them back on multiple times)


What I should have worn:
powercore top + lightweight top layer
OR
lightweight long sleeve + mid-weight top layer
powercore running tights
wool socks
inov8 ankle gaiters
fleece mittens
ear warmer headband
visor (Always.  Except at night.)
trail shoes
microspikes
