Rabbit Winter Running Apparel: Four Pieces Worth a Look

A merino-blend long sleeve, fleece-lined tights, a cozy knit beanie, and a plaid performance flannel from a running brand that had a strong year.

Introduction

Rabbit has been quietly building momentum as a running apparel brand, and its recent winter pieces make a strong case that the company has genuinely found its stride. Everything in this roundup is practical winter running gear: warm, comfortable, and designed with the small details that make cold-weather miles easier. Prices range from an affordable neck gaiter to mid-range tights and tops, so there is something here for most budgets and most winter training setups.

Rabbit Rerun Trail Long Sleeve

The Rerun Trail long sleeve is built around a 64 percent polyester and 36 percent merino wool blend, and the merino is what makes it work. The fabric wicks moisture well while holding in heat, and at 35 degrees Fahrenheit it proved to be the perfect standalone layer. After a slightly chilly first quarter mile, it settled into a comfortable rhythm and kept everything warm for the rest of the run.

The merino is not scratchy at all. It is soft against the skin, which also makes it a piece worth wearing around the house, not just on the run. That double duty is exactly what makes performance wool winter pieces so appealing. It is priced at $85.

For runners who get cold easily and want a top that works both on the road and on the couch, this is an easy recommendation.

Rabbit Pocket Tights Fleece

The Pocket Tights in fleece take a design that already earned a spot among the year’s favorite running items and add a warmer, thicker interior. The pocket layout is the standout: each side pocket easily holds two gels, with room for three, and a large back pocket fits a phone. That separation means the pockets you reach into mid-run for fuel do not also need to hold keys or other clutter.

The fleece lining made the entire run comfortable, warm without ever feeling too warm. The fit is comfortably snug, the fabric is 76 percent polyester and 24 percent elastane for stretch, and reflective zipper pulls make the ankle zips easier to use while adding visibility. Grippy elements at the bottom keep the tights from riding up. They cost $115.

If storage is a priority for long winter runs or marathon training, the pocket design alone justifies a close look.

The Cozy Extra: Heathered Knit Beanie

The beanie worn on this run comes in a sea-green color called Baltic and uses a heathered waffle-knit material. It is soft, stretchy, and keeps the head warm without feeling tight. The fit leans loose, which meant occasional readjusting while running, but that same looseness makes it a versatile piece for everyday wear.

It can also be folded down for extra length around the ears or doubled up when temperatures drop further. At $32, it is an affordable way to round out a winter kit, and it is the kind of hat that will likely live on more than just running days.

Rabbit High Country Long Sleeve

The High Country long sleeve is a “performance plaid flannel,” an unusual combination that works better than it sounds. The fabric blend is 54 percent polyester, 42 percent Thermolite polyester, and 4 percent merino wool. Thermolite is a proven winter material that does a real job of retaining warmth, and the small merino content adds another performance-oriented layer to the mix.

This piece sells out fast. A similar shirt from the previous year sold out quickly and rarely returned to stock, and the first run of this one has already sold out with pre-orders open for the second. It is priced at $85 and leans more toward the lounge-and-relax side of the lineup, though the fabric is genuinely technical.

Anyone tempted should not wait long once it is back in stock.

Boco Neck Gaiter

The final piece is a neck gaiter from Boco, a company based in Boulder, Colorado. It features Rabbit logos and does its core job well: it keeps the neck warm, and on colder days it can be pulled up over the face for extra coverage, which helps extend time outside in harsh conditions.

The material has a slightly slippery, shimmery feel compared with some other neck gaiters, so it may not be everyone’s favorite texture, but it is a functional piece that earns its place in a winter kit.

Overall Buying Advice

Across the lineup, Rabbit’s winter pieces check the boxes that matter most: functional warmth, comfort, smart storage, and subtle reflective details. The Rerun Trail long sleeve is the pick for a standalone cold-weather top, the fleece Pocket Tights are the choice for runners who prioritize fuel storage, and the High Country flannel doubles as a lounging favorite. The beanie and neck gaiter are inexpensive extras that round things out.

Conclusion

Rabbit closed out the year with an impressive set of winter running apparel. The pieces are functional, they look good, and the thoughtful details are easy to appreciate once you are a few miles into a cold run. For anyone building out a winter kit, these four items are a solid place to start.
