Products in this list

M's 5" Multi Short by Janji — I wore these shorts for the Ultra Gobi 400K and they were perfect. The built in belt held all my nutrition and for the first time ever I had zero chafing during that 64 hour effort.
M's Trekker Snappy Shirt by Janji — Breathable, stylish, and light. I love racing/running in this collared shirt. It takes the swag up a notch and also performs great. People underestimate how much that collar helps with sun protection too.
SOL Emergency Blanket by SOL — Required gear for most races. Cheap insurance in case shit hits the fan deep in the mountains
**PRE-SALE** Roam 11 Hydration Pack by Tantrums — Perfect vest for a race with a robust list of required gear. Lots of space for jackets and headlamps, and such. Also incredibly comfortable. Fits like a glove with zero bounce and no chafe. My go-to vest for any major outing.
Nitecore HC60 UHE 1600 Lumen Rechargeable Headlamp with Carbon Battery 6K Extended Runtime Kit by Nitecore — This headlamp is incredible! Made it through 2 full nights at Ultra Gobi 400k last year. It puts out so much light - it's insane. Battery life lasts forever, especially with the auxiliary battery bank attached to the back of the lamp. Three modes of brightness for a tailored experience. Love this lamp!
Nitecore NU25 MCT UL 400 Lumen USB-C Rechargeable Multi-Temperature Ultralight Headlamp by Nitecore — Perfect backup headlamp to fulfill most required gear lists. Super lightweight and packable. Bright enough to get the job done if the main headlamp battery dies for some reason.
M's Trail Tight by Janji — You never know what big days in the mountains have in store for you, weather-wise. These Janji tights are lightweight and super warm. Perfect in case I find myself cold up in the high altitude. They live in my pack always.
Outdoor Research Men's Helium UL Jacket Blue XL by Outdoor Research — The best waterproof jacket I have every worn. Decently affordable and incredibly light. This jacket lives in my pack for every alpine adventure now. After a DNF at Run Rabbit in 2025 due to a rainstorm I was unprepared for, you won't catch me dead without my jacket from now on.
Black Diamond Midweight Screentap Gloves Black M by Black Diamond — Gloves are part of the required gear lists for lots of races. I rarely use them, but when I do, I am so glad to have them. They are lightweight and virtually disappear in my pack.
Smartwool Active Beanie Blue by Smartwool — A warm hat is often required to be carried for part or all of big mountain races. This Smartwool hat is incredibly light and small, but also keeps my head so warm. I have been surprised by how often I break this bad boy out in the middle of long, cold nights mid-race.
COROS APEX 4 GPS Watch by COROS — Navigation perfection. I would still be wandering around in the woods if it wasn’t for this watch. Battery life is insane. The accuracy for distance and vertical blows my mind. I’ve been wearing coros for 3 years now and will never go back. Loyalist!
M1 by Mount to Coast — Just as light and responsive as the H1, with an insane amount of added grip. They feel great on everything from the road to the most technical of trails.
Open Fuel cap by ciele athletics by Open Fuel — Comfy, stylish, and oh so perfect for running.
The HiFi Sock by Courier — I'm not usually a sock snob, but geez, these socks are amazing. Cushioned and breathable more than anything I have ever worn before. Love these socks - highly recommend.
Drink Mix 24 Serving Bulk Bag by Open Fuel — I’ve tried a lot of drink mixes but the Open Fuel naked mix stands above the rest. The neutral flavor goes down the gullet so easy. No flavor fatigue, easy to mix, and great carbohydrate numbers. I will not be racing with anything else.
Gel Mix Bulk Bag by Open Fuel — Okay so stay with me on this one. At first I thought I would hate mixing my own gel. Sure it’s more inconvenient than just grabbing one, but it also comes with a ton of benefits. I can control the consistency and carbohydrate density. I can put the mixed gel in a 180mL flask or I can load it up in a 600mL flask for longer sections. With less preservatives than regular gel and a neutral flavor, this gel is so easy on the stomach. Don’t knock it until you try it.
Re-Lyte® Hydration Electrolyte Powder by Redmond Life Store — Everyone knows how important electrolytes are. Especially in the sweat box of the Missouri summer you can find me downing 2-3 servings per day. Redmond has clean ingredients, lots of flavors, and is one of the cheapest on the market. I have been using Redmond Relyte for over 3 years now.
Caffeine Capsules by BulkSupplements.com — If you want the juice, this will get you juiced. I took 4 of these tablets before rocketing up Mt. Eldon for the final 19 miles of the Cocodona 250. No jitters, no crash, just pure focused energy. It had me absolutely ROLLING 240 miles and 55 hours deep into a race.
Spinshield by Rudy Project — Not only do you look 100x cooler wearing these glasses, you also protect your lookers from the sun and the elements. Photochromic lenses let me rock these glasses all day and night. They are so light I forget they are on my face half the time. Best glasses I have ever worn by far!
