Keep moving through the winter with these shirts designed to keep you warm and dry without overheating. Layer your winter walking clothing. Start with a base layer shirt that will wick moisture away from your body. For colder days, cover that with an insulating layer of microfleece or wool. Then top it all with a windproof jacket. You can take layers off or put them on as you walk to feel comfortable.

Wick away sweat with CoCoNa recycled coconut fibers, which also reduce body odor retention. This shirt has a music pocket at the shoulder perfect for your player or cell phone. I love the extra-long sleeves with thumbholes so you can keep your hands warm on cold weather walks. It also has reflective emblems for night safety. It comes in both men's and women's versions.

Wear this as your insulation layer. Choose lighter weight fleece such as 100-denier microfleece to insulate without bulk. I love a mock turtle collar with zipper that lets you decide to ventilate or not. I love just snuggling in this kind of shirt any time.

5. Nike Sphere Long Sleeve Half-Zip

The Sphere Dry and Dri-Fit fabric wicks away moisture as you work up a winter sweat. The neck zipper lets you ventilate as you warm up or cool down. I also like the extra-long sleeves you can pull over your hands and stick your thumbs out of the thumb holes. They call this a "hand garage." The center front zip is also reflective for a bit of added safety. Layer this under a fleece vest or waterproof jacket, or wear by itself on warmer winter days. Sizes S-XL.
