The following hat and gloves are made from an outdoor company called Mountain Hardwear.
The Corvus Dome looks like a normal winter hat but it has a built in comfortable & breathable face mask. I like this hat because the thin face mask is attached to the inside back of the hat and therefore doesn't fall down and fits tightly against my face while running - keeping both my face and my head warm.
This hat is not perfect though - there are some draw backs. The hat is referred to as a dome - which is probably a good thing because it does not cover your whole head. I end up wearing a thinner hat underneath which makes the Corvous Dome a little tighter than I would like (even in Large). The Corvous Dome is made of wool - which is a warm material even when wet and not as stinky as of materials; but wool is also itchy. I highly recommend air drying this hat after you wash it. The tags may have said not to use a dryer (but I'm a guy and almost never read those clothing tags). After drying, the hat just didn't fit as perfectly as it did new - but still good enough that I have been consistently grabbing it for runs.
I have been looking for good winter running gloves for a long time. There are a lot of running gloves out there that work great for cool spring or fall mornings but few that work for sub zero temperatures. Usually, I wear a pair of typical running gloves and then a pair of insulated ski type winter gloves over these to run in. And even then - my fingers are sometimes cold. This has all changed now that I have found Mountain Hardwear's Gravity Glove.
These gloves look bulky in photos - but they aren't and there is absolutely NOTHING negative I can say about these gloves. My hands actually sweat in these because they are so warm. These are windproof and water-resistant.The Gravity Glove comes in sizes S, M, L, and XL to fit virtually any hand. If you struggle with cold hands during your runs this is a must have running item.
