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.

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.

6. Nike Cold Weather Running Shirt Hoodie

The 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, with a long mock turtleneck that you can zip up as much or as little as you need. It has a hood for extra warmth if desired. I love the extra-long sleeves you can pull over your hands and stick your thumbs out of the thumb holes. There is a side-seam pocket built for a media player. Layer this under a fleece vest or waterproof jacket, or wear by itself on warmer winter days. Sizes XS-XXL.
