Products in this list
- High Point Waterproof Pant by Brooks — After getting mildly hypothermic at Divide 200 AND Cocodona 250, I knew I needed to invest in good, warm, waterproof pants. The ankle zips make it easy to get on and off over shoes, removing the excuse to not wear them!
- Janji W's Aurora Fleece Tight by Janji — The Janji fleece tights are so warm and cozy! They are great for running in cold weather or, here in Montana, can even be worn to work on a cold day! Don't tell ; )
- W's TTech Pant by Janji — I love the Janji tech pant! Comfortable, easy to run in, crew in, live in! And I've done all 3!
- Janji W's Thermalrunner Insulated Jacket by Janji — A light, but warm layer. I love running in this jacket in the winter, it's breathable, but keeps me toasty!
- Vortex Wind Block Gloves by Janji — I've been running in the Vortex gloves in the frigid cold of Bozeman, MT, and they hold up! I love the windshield layer to protect my hands even more, when needed. When not needed, I have full range of motion in my fingers!
- MICROspikes ® Footwear Traction by Kahtoola — I've used Kahtoola microspikes for years, they are easy to put on and provide great traction for running in Montana's winter wonderland!
- 90g Alpha Direct Hoody by Houda Trail — I finally upgraded my collection of gear to include an AlphaDirect hoodie, and this piece by Houda Trail is phenomenal. Lightweight, packs small, but warm enough to serve on the plateau at night in Cocodona AND meet gear requirements!
- ArmaSkin Anti-Blister Toe Liner Socks – Short by ArmaSkin — These socks are amazing! I first wore them for Cocodona last year, and they worked great. After Jigger Johnson 100 (which took 40 hours as second place!) I had no blisters or hot spots whatsoever. Incredible!
- Winter Beanie by Janji — A warm hat can help you retain so much heat! The Janji beanie helped me finish Divide 200 as 1F with its warmth!
- COROS VERTIX 2S by COROS — I've used the Coros since Bigfoot 200. I love the long battery life and simple design!
- 2Toms® SportShield® Anti Chafing Roll-On by 2Toms — I've used 2Toms since I started running! The roll-on sport stick creates a "seal" around my skin in heavy chafe areas. I would never start a long day without it!
