Answer :

All the major athletic clothing companies (ie Puma, Nike, Under Armour, etc) make clothing appropriate to the climate. They have the technology to make lightweight clothing that keeps you warm, wicks away moisture and is fashionable. Also good is a North Face fleece as a jacket to wear over a moisture wicking tank top. As far as shoes, I wear regular athletic sneakers with socks. There is the headband that covers your ears and any pair of gloves will do. It also may take your body a while to adjust to the climate and ghet used to running in those types of conditions. (sorry I don’t know if you are a woman or man, but I am a woman so these are women’s clothing) http://www.thenorthface.com/catalog/sc-gear/womens-jackets-vests/women-39-s-denali-jacket.html http://www.thenorthface.com/catalog/sc-gear/women-39-s-better-than-naked-cool-s_s.html http://www.zappos.com/the-north-face-ear-gear-parachute-purple
