What brands of work-out/active clothing do you wear in the winter? I am hoping that I will continue to run in the fall & winter (outside, because I don't have a gym membership) and I'm curious to know what brands of clothing you wear. I know that some are more efficient than others, and I would love to hear what you have to say about them. I've heard great things about North Face, Puma, and REI - but those are all extremely expensive brands. If they do the job, though, I would imagine they'd be worth it!
What about you? Do you buy specialty workout gear? Or do you feel like all brands are the same? What do you wear in the winter when working out/jogging outside?

I absolutely LOVE my North Face fleece! It's so warm and very practical. I will also let you in on a secret to save you money! Hahah.. If you buy the Khumbu Fleece, you can actually order a childs size and save $20 or so. I am about 5'5' 180lbs, so I am pretty chunky, and I always buy a childs XL. As long as you don't have really long arms, you should be fine.
Columbia also has a really nice fleece, and sometimes if you are lucky, you can find them in TJMaxx, Ross, and other stores of that sort.
Hope this helps!
