Lululemon Fleece High-Rise Running Tight

Reviewers rave about using them for outdoor runs in the cold, with one even wearing them as a base layer under ski pants.

Thermajane Thermal Long Johns Underwear

This thermal underwear set includes both a long-sleeve shirt and leggings, made with a blend of polyester and spandex, and lined with soft fleece for added warmth and comfort. The long johns have received an impressive 34,800 five-star ratings, with one customer sharing, "[I] wore this set under almost all of my outfits during two weeks in rainy, snowy, and cold England! It kept me warm and dry, even when my jeans got soaked in the rain."

Uniqlo Heattech Ultra-Warm T-Shirt

This Ultra-Warm shirt offers more heat retention compared to other Uniqlo Heattech options. The crewneck knit design features a brushed interior for a soft, cozy feel. One shopper called it "fantastic for 20-degree weather in Chicago," while another said it kept them warm while snowboarding.
