Summer Running Gear Need To Knows
When running in Summer sweating is inevitable, however, you can make it cooler and more comfortable IF you choose running apparel made from the right materials.
Consider choosing a mesh top that will wick perspiration away from the body to outside the fabric, where evaporation can occur. Choose shorts that will hang comfortably and not stick to sweaty skin.

Having more of each running apparel item can be a plus as it reduces the number of times you have to do laundry and keeps you from worrying about whether your clothing has dried from a previous run.
Upper Body Layering
At most, use three layers for the upper body depending on just how cold it is outside.
The Base layer (layer closest to your skin) should wick moisture away from your skin and move it to the next layer. It is imperative that you wear one with wicking properties). At all costs, avoid cotton! Cotton will get wet when you perspire and then stay wet, chilling you to the bone.
The Middle Layer should further insulate the body while still wicking moisture outward. Middle layers are often a bit heavier than the Base Layer, should only be used in very cold conditions and should fit loosely over the Base Layer. Due to fluctuating body temperatures and weather conditions, the middle layer should be easy to remove.
A lightweight, breathable, windproof jacket often serves as The Outer Layer. Whether you choose a jacket, shell or vest, the outer layer should protect you against cold, wind or rain while still allowing perspiration to evaporate.

Lower Body Layering
Between zero degrees Fahrenheit and approximately 45 degrees, one layer should be sufficient. Above 45 degrees, your legs should feel fine uncovered especially once you are five to ten minutes into your run.

Many men like to run without a shirt on during the summer. This can have a dangerous long-term effect on your skin leading to premature aging and some forms of skin cancer.
Winter Running Clothes Essentials
The key to dressing comfortably for winter running is Layering. Not just one thick layer but two to three lightweight layers.

Multiple lightweight layering allows perspiration to more easily escape while simultaneously holding in more heat so that you stay warmer and drier. If you become overheated during a run, just remove a layer. If later you become chilled, just re-add the layer you removed.
Covering Your Extremities
Heads, hands and feet need to be covered in cold weather temperatures. Wear a hat, covering your head helps keep the rest of your extremities warm. The old saying that heat goes to your head is true. And, if your body is working to keep your head warm, your hands and feet are going to suffer. Second, wear moisture wicking gloves and socks. Although you may think you need to layer your socks, you don't. One pair is enough.
