Running accessories from liiteGuard are the small pieces that make a big difference on the run: gloves and a beanie for frosty mornings, arm warmers for a cold race start, and support for the knee. You will also find our RECOVERY SOCKS for before and after training.
Running accessories for cold runs, race day and training
Hands, ears and neck are usually the first places to feel the cold, and they are also the easiest to protect without overheating. A good set of winter running accessories lets you keep your top layers light and adjust on the move.
Running gloves for every temperature
2IN1 RUNNING GLOVE is our glove for properly cold days. A windproof and waterproof overglove folds out of a small pocket when the weather turns, and a window on the wrist lets you check your watch without taking anything off.
The inside is brushed for warmth, the palm has silicone for grip, and the thumb has a soft terry patch for wiping your nose or your brow. With 25 reviews, it averages 4.6 out of 5.
LIGHT RUNNING GLOVE is the thinner choice for cool days when you only need a light layer. It has a soft lining, a grip pattern on the palm for holding your phone, and touchscreen fingertips on both the thumb and index finger. Its first three reviews average 4.6 out of 5.
Running beanie and running headband
RUNNING MERINO BEANIE is knitted from a merino blend that stays breathable as your heart rate climbs. A double layer of merino covers your ears, while a looser knit at the top lets heat escape, and it has 5.0 out of 5 from three reviews.
If you run warm, RUNNING HEADBAND covers your ears completely and leaves the top of your head open. It has a soft, quick-drying lining and reflective yarn for visibility in the dark.
RUNNING NECK GAITER
This light neck gaiter is easy to pull up over your chin and nose on icy stretches and push back down when you warm up. It has a soft lining, a breathable outer fabric and a reflective logo, and its first review gives it 5.0 out of 5.
RACE DOUBLE SLEEVES: arm warmers for race day
Cold start, fast finish: these arm warmers keep your arms covered while you wait in the corral and are quick to roll down once the pace picks up. They are shaped separately for the left and right arm, with extra flexibility at the elbow, and are rated 4.5 out of 5 from two reviews.
Knee strap and knee sleeve
POINT-GUARD KNEE STRAP is a light silicone strap worn just below the knee. Its job is to give a firm, circular support around the knee and make you more aware of the area as you move, and a smooth and a textured side give you two levels of pressure. It averages 4.7 out of 5 from 46 reviews.
PERFORMANCE KNEE SLEEVE adds a knitted, close-fitting layer around the whole knee, and its first two reviews give it 5.0 out of 5. Read more about both on our page for knee support.
RECOVERY SOCKS for before and after training
RECOVERY SOCKS are knee-high socks with a milder compression than our sports compression socks, which makes them easy to pull on and comfortable to wear for longer. A knitted swirl pattern gives an even fit around the leg, and an extra-thick sole adds comfort underfoot. The first review gives them 5.0 out of 5.
Like the knee strap and knee sleeve, they were developed with physiotherapist Nicklas Falkesgaard Pedersen, who co-founded liiteGuard.

Running accessories: FAQ
Do I really need gloves for running?
On cold days, yes. Your hands lose heat quickly when you run, and cold fingers can make the first miles uncomfortable even when the rest of you is warm. A light glove is often enough until it gets close to freezing.
Beanie or headband for running?
A headband is the better choice if you run warm or the temperature is only just cool, because heat can escape from the top of your head. On colder days, a beanie keeps your whole head warm.
Can I use my phone with the gloves on?
Yes. Both of our running gloves have touchscreen fingertips on the thumb and index finger, so you can change the music or answer a call without taking them off.
