As the colder weather and darker evenings set in, stay motivated with a winter wardrobe refresh. Here at AWDis, we specialise in creating high-performance, customisable men’s and women’s gymwear with unique features that make working out in winter manageable and enjoyable.

From lightweight layers that wick away sweat to functional designs, our best winter gym clothes are crafted to help you stay warm, dry, and prepared for any workout challenge. Whether you’re hitting the gym, running outdoors, or practising yoga at home, these winter workout essentials will ensure you don’t miss a beat—even when the temperature drops.

How Many Layers of Activewear Should Be Worn in Winter?

Whether you’re training rigorously at the gym or going for a run, it’s common to wear minimal layers to stay cool. However, in winter, our approach shifts as we bundle up in multiple layers for warmth. So, how can we find the right balance when being active?

Typically, when exercising during the winter, you should look to wear at least two layers of activewear consisting of a base layer, usually a long-sleeve top made from a wicking material to deal with sweat and a mid-layer for warmth – think a lightweight hoodie or a cosy sweat from our Just Hoods range. This combination ensures you stay warm without compromising comfort or mobility.

On especially cold days or on windy and rainy days, you can add a third outer layer to protect you from the elements. Your outer layer should be a breathable, waterproof vest or jacket that keeps the elements out while allowing moisture to escape – so you stay dry and comfortable throughout your workout.
