Best sports & outdoors accessories according to redditors

The material is supposed to go over the watch. These were originally made in black. Someone in marketing must have realized they weren't selling and pitched the idea of adding designs.

Here's what the original looked like: https://www.amazon.com/Magic-Hidden-Touch-Screen-Digital/dp/B00GH46750/

I got one of the black ones for free in a surprise box.

They list them as "neckwear" but they work great as headwarmers. One thin layer for cool days. Double it over for colder, and add a second one around the neck (neckwear) for those really cold days.

They have a video with the many ways to wear them.

There are many less expensive versions too.

Buy a pair of neoprene gloves for kayaking (thicker is warmer) and then put a skiing shell over top to break the wind. Works down to -15 celsius for me in Canada. Fingies and toesies get the coldzies. neopreme like this

> Convertible mittens

Those are not warm. I find convertible mitten to be the worst of both worlds - the warmth of a glove, the dexterity of a mitten. If I'm not doing any rope work, I find that I can do most things in a mitten without removing it.

If you have the money, go with the the OR Alti Mitt. When it's super cold, it's what I wear. I can remove skins without taking them off, too. Alternatively, a shell like this or even this, with these as liners is as warm, but more durable, but bulkier, and heavier.

I have an 15 year old pair of OR mitten shells with a $20 pair of ragwool mittens as liners that I use and abuse all winter long. (I save the fancy, down-lined Alti mitt for the worst fo the worst, - Denali, Alaska Range in March, etc.)

Wither either approach, make sure you have them sufficiently large. Your hands will stay warmer with more airspace to circulate, particularly if also using a chemical hand heater. Which is also more convenient in a larger mitt because you can move them around.

Do not try wear a glove liner as the primary source of insulation. If you find that you occasionally need to remove a mitt and need something on your hand, wear a very light liner glove such as these under the mitt. I've even experimented with wearing a latex or nitrile glove. It doesn't insulate and feels a bit weird, but if the concern is wind when you have your mitts off, they work well.

Finally, look at your poles. Are they conducting heat away? I've never bothered with poles, but I've wrapped areas of my mountaineering axes with insulating tape to reduce conductive heat loss. Also, use good wrist straps will touring. If you're gripping onto the poles, you reduce blood flow. If you can have a nice, light grip assisted by wrist straps (I prefer the rubber ones to nylon), your hands will remain noticeably warmer.

Possibly repeating some advice since I'm late to this party, but..Shoes: Also a lady and I stumbled upon the Keds Scout line last year and they have turned out to be great winter biking shoes. They are water resistant, don't let wind through, but are slim enough that they still fit in my pedal cages and aren't so clumsy that they make me feel like I'm pedaling my bike with inch thick stumps like snow boots do. I'm on my second pair of the Scout Chukka Splash which is mostly unlined but I think they offer other versions that are geared to be more winter-y and have thicker lining. I have worn them with thick socks over the last two weeks when temps have gotten pretty low and been fine. The only day I had cold toes was Wednesday when the "feels like" was in the negatives in the morning, but it wasn't terrible. They're not full plastic waterproof to where you could stand submerged puddle for 10 minutes without worry, but the water resistance is good enough for normal snowy conditions. Bonus: depending on your work environment and personal style choices, you can possibly wear them to work and not have to carry extra shoes.

Gloves: I listened to the crowd and shelled out for Pearl Izumi lobster gloves.. they're great for middle temps down to like 20ish and keeping dry but fail once it really gets cold. The sizing is men's so even the XS is big on me which is irritating for the cost. If you have ski mittens already, use those. If you have no good gloves and plan to spend money, I'd recommend ski mittens over the lobster gloves - I have these Dakine mittens in size small and they are fantastic for very cold days, plus I really love the liner gloves they come with for fall riding when it starts to get cold.

I have no special bike outfitting for winter other than fenders. My slick road tires have kept me upright this week despite the ice and such but I've definitely had some dicey moments. If in doubt, take the lane - don't ride on the edge near the BL where cars are encouraged to pass you close because there's * almost * enough room and you risk being surprised by ice that sticks out of the bike lane or getting pushed over, ride roughly in the right car tire tracks.

Face: If you don't already wear glasses and don't want to wear goggles, buy some cheap "non-prescription" clear lens glasses on amazon. I replaced my silly scratched up shop glasses with non-prescription glasses this year and have been happy with them so far, especially on days like Monday when it's snowing tiny ice bullets and I otherwise was unable to keep my eyes open. Fogging is a problem though.

Neck: Fleece "buffs" or neck gaiters are a must. Keeps your sensitive neck parts warm even if your core warms up and you want to unzip your jacket, and breathing through something while covering your mouth and nose is very helpful for keeping your lungs working in the cold dry winter.

Edit: If you have long hair and it is snowing, tuck it in to your jacket. Dealing with a matted, wet, frozen ponytail end at work is annoying.

I know I'm a little late and you might be all set at this point, but this thing from Burton, the Cora Hood, is incredible. I saw people wearing them in Colorado last year and my sister got me one for Christmas. It is insanely warm and soft, and has stayed soft after a couple of washes/line-dries.

I used these over my glasses for my entire PCT thru hike last year:

https://www.amazon.com/Glasses-Sunglasses-Polarized-Lenses-Women/dp/B07CRW24X1

Cheap, didn't break, only kinda scratched by the end. I'm staunchly team glasses in daily life anyway, but I cannot imagine faffing around w contacts as a grubby thruhiker (or as a grubby day or section hiker either).

This is typically popular casio. I have this but it’s larger, have no regrets about buying it and wear it almost daily.

Completely agree. The Mudman looks very nice. I was thinking about getting that [Eminem styled g shock] (http://www.amazon.com/G-SHOCK-COLLABORATION-ANNIVERSARY-LIMITED-GD-X6900MNM-1JR/dp/B00GN6TB6Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1397954567&sr=8-1&keywords=Eminem+gshock), but it is quite pricey. Thank you for the reccomendations!

I used to skate in random fleece ones before I got lucky and bought a great pair of Under Armour gloves on sale. (this model exactly, if you're curious) they're technically for running but they have a cool rubberized inside which is super convenient for falling, they're also waterproof and they have a fleece side on the thumbs which the UA site claims can be used for wiping your nose.... if you're into that. I haven't tried, lol.

​

also? not gonna lie, having a little bit of under armour gear on me definitely makes me feel self-important and helps me channel my inner Yuzu lmao

one cart would be a little hard to do..but im bored atm so I guess I can link stuff from head to toe lol

Head: Dye Mask + Beanie

Neck: Neck wrap thing

Chest: SS Lv119 Overt + SS Micro Flight

Back: Flatpack or Minimap

Hands: Gloves

Belt: Ronin or HSGI Slim

Sidearm: G19

Primary: Mp5

Boots: Merrell

Regulator: Dual or nothing

Tanks: Slim yet plenty of air

also not even going off your 1k budget lol. pick and choose what you want but this is one of my setups. can always buy knockoff versions if you like it

These are the ones I have. The palms are just a layer of fabric with silicone grip on them. I mostly wear them to keep my calluses from getting too bad and for a little extra confidence on the TRX.

I've also found that wearing a silicone ring instead of my wedding and engagement rings so I don't have the paranoia of "OMG where are my rings?!" and they get in the way less than my metal rings.

These ones: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077KG4GRJ/ref=cm_sw_r_oth_api_i_6QHUDbJSGP3PZ

Apparently silk liners work even better though

Same with my group. Stay strong. I started vaping which helped, but that's hard to do without charging. Honestly I wear a balaclava around my head/mouth at all times. It'll filter out dust and some cig smoke, and it's not as hot or impairing as you think. Also blocks the sun from beating your neck so bad.

There are tons of different brands, but this is an example:

You're probably thinking of Casio G-Shocks. Versions with altimeters and compasses tend to be more expensive ($200-300) but there are plenty that come in around $50 with chronograph, time, second time zone, etc. functions.

https://www.amazon.com/Casio-GD100-1BCR-G-Shock-X-Large-Multi-Functional/dp/B0049HSJ76

https://www.amazon.com/Casio-G-shock-DW5600E-1V-Shock-Resistant/dp/B000GAYQKY

https://www.amazon.com/Casio-G-Shock-Quartz-Resin-Sport/dp/B000GAYQLI

The G-Shock is not expensive but is considered an iconic brand in horological history, for this reason it has its own cult following (deservedly so.) Quality-wise it's also going to just straight up last a long time compared to the cheapo G-Shock knock-offs that try to imitate its looks.

The Timex Marathon and Ironman are alternatives that are also solid and well-made, albeit without the G-Shock's enthusiast following:

https://www.amazon.com/Marathon-by-Timex-Full-Size-Watch/dp/B01I9PVL5U/

I use a timex triathalon ironman watch, which is great if you don't mind wearing a cheapish looking digital watch.

You can get them a lot cheaper than that listing, just using it as an example.

I use it all the time for running or timing climbs or even just setting a timer when I'm cooking. Also important for first aid should the need arise.

You might not need a watch like that, but that timex is the best cheap watch I've found that does everything I need it to do but can be replaced easily.

I have a super nice seiko but I broke the strap on it 3 times and scratched it, better to just get something cheap and replaceable if you are doing a lot of outdoor activities.

Some of Burton’s hoods have “helmet fit” as a size option.

I've had a 12 dollar Walmart Casio last me 2 seasons as a whitewater guide. I have since upgraded to a 35 dollar Casio. I currently wear This Casio. I am a guy, but I have had two of this women's model because it is an excellent size, doesn't get in the way too much, and it has great functions. All are easy to navigate. I use the timer function almost every day, and it has 5 alarm options. Great lap timer. If it's in your budget, get two. I know it has treated me well for years, but just in case the first bites the dust, it's small and light.

EDIT: yo, that Casio you linked to is fine. It's simple. Only issue I have had on the cheaper Casio is that the light button for seeing the time in the dark does not stay on after you release the button. So you need to be able to look at the watch and hit the button simultaneously. Sometimes I have not had that luxury.

My guess

Apparently that's not a peel away, just a different version of this: https://www.amazon.com/Magic-Hidden-Touch-Screen-Digital/dp/B00GH46750/

These gloves are waterproof and even if your hands do get wet they will keep them mostly warm.

I've used them this past winter for whitewater kayaking and they worked and didn't suck taking off. Drying them was a bit of a pain since you really need to turn them inside out to do.

Gosh good luck with army training! It's my goal to be able to pass the army minimum fitness requirements, couch potato you see :)
Ok... so this is for me since i like pink, my watch broke 2 years ago, i work in health care (take pulse etc) and also want to track running times. THANKS

http://www.amazon.com/Timex-Womens-T5K027-Ironman-Silver-Tone/dp/B0013HUM66/ref=sr_1_9?s=watches&ie=UTF8&qid=1374121106&sr=1-9&keywords=watches+for+women

Awesome to get so many responses! Seems like everyone has their own style of layering. I have a decent amount of hoodies, puffy jackets, a couple fleece, and one soft shell jacket, so I have plenty of mid layers, I guess I just need a jacket for blocking wind. For my head and face I was thinking the bad days I would wear this balaclava and a hood, while the milder days would be a scarf or neck gaiter with a beanie. Luckily I have a decent pair of boots that are waterproof, while are made of leather =/ (found out they shrink in the cold), I think they should do the trick. As far as gloves go, I still dont have that figured out. Should I get thick ski gloves possible with a liner? I dont like how bulky they are but thinner gloves or even fingerless mitts seem to lack wind protection. As for snow pants, I have eyed these a bit, but I think I can get something that works just as well for cheaper. Fortunately for me, I have an above average body temp when exerting, which unfortunately causes me to sweat like a whore on Sunday morning. Initially I will be using some old (polyester) L/S running shirts as a base layer. Hopefully this will wick the sweat enough. I believe that has all clothing needs covered, and now need to look into emergency car supplies.

I think your best option will be gloves like these that come with pockets for battery hand warmers.

Looking for a minimal digital watch that is a step above the Casio f91. For example the Casio f91 does not have a timer for pass 1 hour.


Considering the timex ironman 30 mid



Any alternative or similar in similar small size and price point I should consider? Perfer on the small side such as the size of the Casio f91.
