Sore muscles may be a workout buzzkill, but cold muscles, well, they can make even the easiest workouts feel like a challenge. If you've ever gone running in the dead of winter, you know that it's almost impossible to make it through your first mile comfortably unless you're geared up properly from head to toe.

Whether your warmest sweatshirt isn't quite doing its job anymore, or you've gotten a little too used to your limbs going numb from the cold, now's as good a time as any to invest in some new cold-weather gear from Under Armour. Built specifically to improve athletic performance, Under Armour's collection of winterproof activewear has everything you need to push through every workout without having to worry about the weather.

From insulated water-resistant joggers to base layers [1] that retain both heat and breathability, these products will help you burn calories no matter how cold it is outside, and that means you can stop using the temperature as an excuse for a rest day, and stay active all season long. If you're ready to hit your next PR, in rain or shine, sleet or snow, read on to shop Under Armour's best cold-weather workout gear for athletes like you.
