We asked

What’s your go-to
trail-running shoe?

The experts said

Salomon Speedcross 5 GORE-TEX

“Accountability doesn't take a day off,
so there's no excuse for me
to take a day off training
… I've been so impressed with my
Speedcross that I'm on my 8th pair
and have another three pairs in the
closet just waiting to push me further
than I'd even imagine I'd go today!”

I trail run year-round.

I trail run year-round and have some favorite gear that
keeps me warm and dry. The GORE-TEX Speedcross is a key
part of that. The GORE-TEX barrier and excellent grip of the
soles let me run on wet and sloppy days as well as during
the snowy winter months. Dry feet are happy feet. Add
some good wool socks and it's even better. The traction of
the sole is also outstanding.

“The ghost GTX is awesome.
Finally I have a shoe
that I can run in the
rain and snow. The
firmness makes it responsive
and comfortable. Definitely
would recommend.”

We asked

What’s your rainy-day
outer layer?

The experts said

Ultimate Direction Ultra Jacket V2
+ Outdoor Research Foray Jacket

“I wore this coat at Bighorn 100 this year.
It kept me bone dry during
the storm and completely
warm through the night
with just a wool layer underneath. The
brim on this jacket is amazing and keeps
the rain away from your face. This is a
new favorite for harsh conditions.”

Versitile piece.

The foray is an incredibly versatile piece. It’s a 2L
construction made with Gore-Tex PacLite, so it already
breathes well on its own. It’s great for wear around town
as well as a hike. On the days I use it for running, I unzip
the hem to the bicep vent for some serious heat dumping
when I’m working extra hard. This is truly a do-it-all
jacket that has been an amazing addition to my lineup!

We asked

What are your favorite
base layers?

The experts said

Icebreaker 260 Zone Men's Half Zip
+ Pearl Izumi Pursuit Thermal Tights

“Worth it's
weight in gold!
The fit, the weight of fabric,
the mock turtleneck
zipper—all make for a great
piece to wear in a wide range
of cool to cold temps and still
be comfortable.”

Pearl Izumi
Pursuit Thermal Tights
These are phenomenal tights.
They fit like a glove
and are extremely
comfortable.
The material is a thick thermal and keeps
me warm in the cold Wisconsin temperatures.
I highly recommend them.

We asked

Which waterproof pants
are you wearing?

The experts said

Salomon Bonatti Pant

SalomonBonattiPant

“They were perfect
for 4 reasons :
1. They were waterproof. 2. They
were comfortable against skin. 3.
They were very breathable. And
finally, 4. They packed away to
almost nothing. Easy for storage
and really light.”

We asked

Which waist light keeps
your path bright?

The experts said

UltrAspire Lumen 600
3.0 Waist Light

“I used this in a 12-hour night race and could
keep the brightness as high as I wanted
(because the batteries are cheap and easy to change). It lit the trail
well and allowed me to run at my pace (did not need to slow down
for visibility). I'm looking forward to taking it out for a 100-mile race.”

MIKE HEFTI

UltrAspire
Lumen 600 3.0 Waist Light

Scott Faulkenburg

I use it every night.

The waist light is great. I use it every night for
running trails. It is like running underneath a
streetlight. The light affixes to the belt with
Velcro, so I added Velcro to my running vest
and can attach the light directly to the vest,
eliminating the need for the belt.
