If you buy a crap ton of disposable hand warmers every year to tuck into your gloves during workouts, rechargeable hand warmers will save you money in the long run. This one comes with a USB charging cable, has two heat settings, and lasts three to five hours on a single charge. It doesn't come as a set, so buy two if you want a pair.

These sunnies are made for extreme conditions, with scratch-resistance polarized lenses and leather shields that'll protect you from sideways sunlight. The leather panels are removable, so they'll still fly when you're more interested in fashion than function.

Ice skating is fun, but combining it with your early morning jog isn't. To avoid the second-worst risk to outdoor runners in the winter (number one is getting hit by a car), strap on some Yaktrax Run over your shoes to turn ordinary sneakers into trail runners. The lightweight design made of grippy metal coils and carbide spikes will help you stay on pace and on your feet.
