The Gear List

For a while now, I've been thinking about posting a list of the gear I use and love while out galavanting around in the mountains. I've just never gotten around to actually doing it. So, without further adieu, from the bottom up...

1.


Montrail Streak

The Streak by Montrail is designed for use on a variety of surfaces from rock and mud to grass and dirt. This lightweight and responsive shoe is designed for the trail runner with a need for speed.

Features:
Multi-directional outsole design offers exceptional traction in every direction.
Gryptonite “sticky rubber” outsole offers great traction on wet and dry surfaces, combined with outstanding durability.
Trail Shield protects the foot from trail debris.
Vapor-Response midsole material is both lightweight and responsive.
Upper materials are lightweight and breathable.
Weight 11.7 oz 0,33 kg

2.
Injinji Tetrasock - Outdoor Series
As your feet face the elements, the Outdoor Series tetratsok is an interface system specifically designed to perform and adapt to any type of terrain. Engineered with AIS:technology and constructed with Injinji’s exclusive natural wicking Nüwool™, the tetratsok provides exceptional comfort and performance unlike any other athletic wool sock.

3. Dirty Girl Gaiters







Next year, I wanna start runnin with scissors




4. RaceReady Shorts





And they even have a skirt model now for all you fashionista trail runners out there. Yeah, you know you want one. (I might not look too bad in one of these)





4. Smartwool shirts



SmartWool Microweight Crew Shirt - Long-Sleeve - Men's
Wear the SmartWool Men's Microweight Long-Sleeve Crew Shirt for cool- or warm-weather aerobic activities or as a next-to-skin base layer. SmartWool's porous natural fibers move moisture while it is still in vapor form before it has a chance to condense on your skin; you stay drier and more comfortable throughout your entire workout. By comparison, synthetics transport moisture after it condenses, which means you must visibly sweat before any moisture management begins. SmartWool fiber adaptabls to a broad range of conditions, keeping you warm in winter and cool in spring. This naturally anti-microbial shirt features a crew neckline, chafe-reducing flatlock seams, and a body-hugging fit.
Bottom Line: It might be Microweight, but it's big on performance.


5. Golite Ether Windshirt



Ultra-lite, extremely breathable, wind resistant, and water repellent, the full-zip Ether hooded wind jacket will come in handy when wind or weather pepper your next outing. 4 oz. and it packs down to the size of two cliff bars.

Injinji socks... I've always wondered about these... especially because I got blisters so badly during Primal Quest... you like 'em? Were they hard to get used to?

I love em. Each toe individually wrapped and protected from the common toe-to-toe squishing that happens with regular socks. These things freakin wierd me out when I'm wearing them without shoes on, but once I get my feet into my shoes, I can't even tell I'm wearing anything but a regular sock. I ran in these socks at Leadville and, together with the Montrail Streaks, ended up with not a single blister. Notta one!

Many of my running buddies also use a product called Hydropel with these socks and have found it to be a great combination. Find out more here: www.zombierunner.com/store/product165.html
