This slightly warmer weather definitely inspires me to exercise outside. Since the air is still a little chilly, my hands always get so cold at the beginning of my run, but now I found some gloves to keep them warm. These Smartwool Glove Liners ($15) are perfect to wear on their own. They're made of lightweight merino wool that's oh-so soft (really, I swear it's not itchy). Why merino wool? After my hands begin to warm up, they can get a little sweaty, and the wool wicks moisture away from my skin. If my hands stayed wet, they'd get even colder than they were when I started on my run. I also use them to wipe sweat off my forehead, so they do double duty.

Since they're really thin, if my hands get too hot then I can slip them off and sneak them in the waistband of my pants and I don't even feel that they're there. I'm a huge fan of these liners since I can also use them in the Winter under my gloves on super-cold days. If you're looking for a way to keep your hands toasty on your early Spring runs, I'd give these a try.
