There is no need to take your running indoors when the weather starts to turn bleak. Asics has options to keep you protected and moving in anything mother nature throws at you. We recently had the opportunity to take some of their cool weather gear for a run. Asics had us covered for those cold, windy, rainy and even slightly snowy days.
Key Features:
- Contoured waistband w/ stash pocket
- Flatlock seam construction for reduced chafing
- Contoured inseam panel for better fit (no outseam neeeded)
- Double Layer Cuff
- Reflective Logo
When it’s too chilly for shorts or capris but still not cold enough to go full force thermal, Asics Printed Tights are the perfect in between. They keep you warm, but still allow for a nice air flow. With a nice wide waistband and a small stash pocket these tights will most likely be worn for many outings. They are soft with a flatlock seam construction to reduce chafing and have a double layer cuff. They come in bright fun colors and patterns that will catch anybody’s eye. We did notice that they started to stretch out a little bit at the knee area after a few wears. Not a deal breaker though.

A curved back yoke seam on the Printed Capri adds a little extra something for a more a flattering backside (come on ladies…we all should appreciate efforts made to make your backside more flattering in tight pants). The nice wide waistband sits a little higher than many fitness capris, but we like that. Mesh inset panels at the back of the knees allow for breathability during those warmer fall runs or any indoor fitness activity. These capris stayed put and didn’t stretch out over time. The fun pattern just adds to the list of pros.

Who doesn’t love a jacket that can fold up into it’s own pocket! Asics Packable Jacket is super lightweight and semi stretchable. It helps you keep moving during almost any of mother nature’s harsh elements. The colors are great and the fit is perfect. We love that the back side is slightly longer. The sleeve cuffs are elastic, probably to help keep the wind and rain out, but they can be annoying at times. Overall, this jacket is great to bring anywhere because of how little space it takes up.

You can’t complete a run without proper shoes. Asics shoes have always been a top contender for runners. The Dynaflyte didn’t fail. They are lightweight, breathable, and have that wider toe box that we all love about Asics. There is just the right amount of support in the soles and sockliner. The removable sockliner allows for an easy trade out for those who need or prefer a medical orthotic. There are no harsh edges or seams to cause painful irritation. The bend and flexibility of this shoe is wonderful. They don’t stiffly crease and push into the top of your feet when you flex your foot like some shoes. The mesh is so soft that they almost feel like slippers. Almost. Perfect traction for street, track or indoor surfaces.
