Creepers Socks by Creepers Socks — I've been running exclusively in Creepers for about 2 years now. I used to really struggle with blisters and foot problems every race but now it's so few and far between. I love them for everything from snowy, wet runs to dry desert dust. They're not too hot or too cold but perfectly adapt to the conditions. Love them!!
Bronco Race Vest Desert Sage by UltrAspire — The Big Bronco is my favorite vest for big days and multi-day efforts. I want a pack that distributes weight comfortably, has easy access pockets without taking my vest off, allows me to carry flasks over a bladder, isn't too hot or bulky, oh and looks nice. I'm picky and have a lot of asks....but this one nails it!
W's 5" Pace Short by Janji — The best fitted trail shorts. Need I say more? They're my go to training and racing shorts that provide all the pockets and non of the riding up or chafing.
Fenix HM65R-T V2.0 by Fenix — I've tried so many headlamps and this one really does it all. I like a pretty bright headlamp for night running and the high beam setting lasts a long time. The interchangeable rechargeable batteries gives me confidence I never have to worry about losing battery in a long night section. It's easy to swap batteries on trail, in the dark and even in the rain if you have to. I also tend to get pressure headaches from headlamp bands but the BOA system and fit of this one is so comfortable. It's my most trusted light!
Original 8oz Tin by Vermont's Original Bag Balm — A vital discovery for me this year - using this balm in all the places that rub, from pack straps, clothing seams, etc. It stays on even when clothes are wet and is a new favorite all over anti-chafe.
2Toms® SportShield® Anti Chafing Roll-On by 2Toms — My go to daily training anti-chafe - it's oil based so stays on no matter the weather....rain, humidty, dry. It's great for the feet or any other high friction areas. I specifically used the single serve towelettes at Cocodona. I kept 1 in my pack for easy reapplication between crewable aids.
W's Sunchaser 50 Hooded Long Sleeve by Janji — Favorite sunhoodie hands down. It's light and breathable, thumb holes, watch cut out, pony-tail hole in the hood. All the things you want!
W's Pinnacle RD Ultra Bra by Janji — Simply the most comfortable sports bra - feels like you're not really wearing anything at all. I especially love the front and back built in pockets for ice. I am unsure how the support is for those who are looking for higher support as it's cupless and fairly minimal in construction.
Made-to-order Solid Alpha 120 Hoodies by Sambob.biz — Sambob is a small business that makes made-to-order custom Alpha direct hoodies. They are a staple insulatory layer for me. They're so warm yet breathable and super light. Doesn't add weight or bulk to the pack but is so relaible for changing weather conditions. Layered under a wind or water shell, it's as warm as a puffy jacket but not too hot to run. I have the 90 & 120 for winter running and overnight/multi-day races.
