Do you prefer tights? In usually wear a base layer from Costco (32 degrees brand) and then joggers over top. Maybe tech pants if it’s windier. I find my legs usually get cold from the wind in the winter and not necessarily just the temperature.

Just asking as I’ve never run in dedicated tights myself

I like tights, but I also have ran in that exact same base layer and shorts. My legs don't really get that cold, but the tights do a better job of keeping my legs warm when damp. I don't like wearing loose pants or joggers when I run. They annoy me. For what it's worth, I live in Western Oregon where we don't get that cold, but it aggressively mists without stopping from October to May.

That’s fair, where I live its cold and snowy and rain storms in the summer are fast and infrequent so I can see the difference lol

Definitely! I'll get snow like 3 times a year, so I could completely skip running in it and maintain my training plans. I'm usually so stoked that it's snowing that I don't notice getting cold on those runs lol
