Kristen Schindler's review
Crewing ultras usually involves way more standing around in weird weather than people expect. Even races that are brutally hot during the day can become freezing overnight once fatigue sets in. A giant puffy jacket is one of those things that seems unnecessary until you desperately need it. Pro tip: Bring the warmer jacket. You will not regret having too many layers at 3 a.m.
