How should I layer my clothing for cold-weather runs?

Layers are necessary when hitting your stride in the cold. Start with a base layer that's form fitting and can wick sweat, helping to keep you cool through your efforts. Follow this with a softer layer for comfort, like the Vellus Hoodie and Joggers. Lastly, add an outter layer that's capable of protecting you from the elements. As you heat up, you can peel off layers to keep your temperature comfortable.
