When the temps start to drop and the windchill begins to bite, most people take their workouts indoors. But for those bold enough to challenge the dreary days, a whole new winter wonderland awaits.

You can’t wrap up a dreamy trail run in softly falling snow and stick it under a tree, but you can give your crew the support they need to get out there all winter long. We pulled together a mix of wildly toughall-weather gearandnext-level recovery duds and tools, perfect for the dedicated athlete on your nice list.

Nike Sportswear Windrunner Women’s Shine Jacket

Performance meets street style in this fresh take on a classic track jacket. A water-repellent finish helps you fight the elements, while retro chevron lines give a timeless, heritage feel. Hidden in the lining is a warm, woven interior that, combined with the fitted drawcord at the waist, traps heat without adding bulk.

Nike Shox TL Shoes

Inspired by the vintage 2003 Nike Shox TL, these futuristic kicks bring a little swagger to recovery days. The full-length Nike Shox columns absorb impact for maximum cushioning, perfect for someone who’s on her feet all day long.

Nike x Hyperice Hyperboot Shoes

The recovery revolution is here. With the ground-breaking Nike x Hyperice Hyperboot Shoes, athletes can use heat and Normatec dynamic air compression for feet and ankles to enhance mobility, blood circulation, and performance. On the go? Use the quick-adjust buttons on the shoes or the Bluetooth-connected Hyperice app to build your own routine without missing a step.

Nike Vomero Plus Road Running Shoes

Dial down the impact and dial up your speed. The Nike Vomero Plus Road Running Shoes have been hailed as a max-cushioned shoe that brings unmatched comfort to everyday runs. The poppy ZoomX foam midsole returns energy with every step, so you can go longer, farther, faster.

Nike ACG Dri-FIT Lightweight Gloves

Blaze new trails with these warm, lightweight gloves—a perfect stocking stuffer for the trail runner or avid hiker. Nike’s legendary Dri-FIT technology helps wick sweat to keep your hands dry and comfortable, no matter the conditions. There’s even touch-screen compatible material on the palms and the fingers so you can snap that summit selfie.

Nike ACG “Misery Ridge” Storm-FIT ADV GORE-TEX Jacket

No excuses. The ultimate shell jacket for every outdoor adventure, this GORE-TEX jacket is as unyielding as you are. Purposefully roomy to accommodate base and mid layers, the windproof, waterproof fabric seals warmth in and keeps the elements out. Plenty of pockets keep your must-haves within easy reach, and a full-length zipper protects you (and your gear) from whatever challenges await.

Nike Pegasus Trail 5 GORE-TEX Waterproof Trail Running Shoes

The trails wait for no one—even when the rain is relentless. The Nike Pegasus Trail 5 features premium GORE-TEX tech to keep water out, along with a rugged, all-terrain outsole for secure grip in slippery conditions. The ReactX foam midsole brings a cushioned, smooth ride to rocky roads.

Nike ACG “Lava Flow” Men’s Therma-FIT ADV Vest

No sleeves? No problem. This insulated vest brings the heat, without the bulk. PrimaLoft® insulation and Nike Therma-FIT ADV combine to offer premium heat regulation in frigid conditions. Surprised by sunny conditions? This vest packs down into an internal pocket, and an attached triangle carabiner lets you easily clip it onto your pack.

Nike Burrow SE Slippers

Recovery starts from the ground up. After a hard-charging day on the trails, nothing feels better than slipping into these fleecey, cloud-like slippers. Comfortable enough for lounging, these house shoes also have a grippy outsole for extra traction, should you need to venture outdoors.

Nike Sportswear Everything Wovens Women’s Mid-Rise Open-Hem Pants

Baggy, but not sloppy. Tailored, but textured. The Nike Sportswear Everything Wovens are a master class in contradiction, with a water-repellent fabric and customizable fit that gives them endless versatility.
