10 Products I Actually Use - Blake Bender

Products in this list

• Reality Hat by Reality Run — Can take a beating from the sun. Breathes and super lightweight. Easy to clean off sweat stains.
• H1 by Mount to Coast — An extremely fast shoe, and ultra durable. From the sand, to the rockies, this shoe let's me fly down single tracks and handled the Leadville 100. I keep re-buying this shoe.
• All Products from Squirrel's Nut Butter! by Squirrels Nut Butter — Just use this everywhere. You won't chafe.
• Buff Merino Lightweight Multifunctional Neckwear by Buff — I wear buff on every adventure. Extremely versatile for sweat, UV protection, and warmth. Why would you not keep this on your head?
• T1 by Mount to Coast — My new favorite technical shoe. The T1 handled Hope Pass at Leadville, and the infamous "backside". Had no problem traversing river crossings and staying dry. Easy on/off with the no lace system.
• ADV Skin 12L Hydration Pack by Salomon — My go to vest for all trail events. Lean enough for a fast 50k, big enough to fit a small bladder and all the essentials for grueling 100 milers.
• Leki Ultratrail FX One Superlite Running Poles by Skimo Co — The only trekking poles you will ever need.
• Alta Elite Trail Hood by Roark — Kept me cool on the Colorado trail, and warm enough on the breezy Hope Pass
• Precision Fuel and Hydration PF 30 Gel by The Feed — My go-to gel. I have a sensitive stomach and these not only give me energy, but keep my stomach feeling good.
• Run Lightweight Mini-Crew by Injinji — Worn on every race. Continuing my streak of no blisters. Don't let a cheap pair of socks ruin your race. Wear injinji.
