I’m going to hold your hands when I say this: you don’t need different apparel and accessories for every form of exercise you do or want to try. While not every piece of kit works for every activity, some well-designed garments translate surprisingly well across sports.
This winter, I put that theory to the test. When temperatures dropped so low that I could see my breath before I’d even left the house, and my usual running base layers and jackets weren’t cutting it, I reached for one of my Columbia hiking fleeces on a whim and headed out for a run.
