Unisex ReAnimator Crew Puffer by Janji — This jacket saved me on an unexpectedly chilly overnight at a recent backyard race --It's incredibly cozy, light, and comfortable! I've used it for running, hiking, and crewing. I'm looking forward to wearing it all winter long!
W's Atlas Multi Pant by Janji — Super cozy & comfortable for chilly winter days!
Mount 2 Coast H1 by Mount to Coast — I love the H1, a hybrid shoe that performs well on both road and trail surfaces! I wore the H1 Sedona for all 253 miles of Cocodona this year with zero shoe changes or foot issues.
Salted Cinnamon Spice UnTapped by UnTapped — I always take a maple syrup gel on cold-weather runs...even on the chilliest winter days, you can be confident that it won't freeze!
Unisex Pinnacle 3L Rain Shell by Janji — This rain shell has quickly become a staple in my everyday training wear--sometimes even without rain in the forecast (it also functions as an excellent windbreaker!) It's both incredibly light and reliably waterproof, and I've found it to be an ideal piece of gear for a range of conditions, especially the chilly New England months. I also love the zipper placements, which allow easy access to pockets or hydration packs. Highly recommend!

T1 by Mount to Coast — My favorite trail shoe! Also great for those slightly slippery winter days when I'm needing a bit of extra traction.
Ultrahauler™ Backpack by Janji — I'm a big fan of this backpack for all things ultramarathon (or travel!) organization. It's an excellent tool to use when planning for any style of race or adventure. I have found it especially helpful for backyard-style events...Your entire aid station can fit in here!
NANOspikes ® Footwear Traction by Kahtoola — I've worn these spikes for years and have been able to run on icy roads worry-free! They're comfortable, easy to use, and super convenient for a range of winter conditions.
Thermalrunner Insulated Gloves by Janji — I’ve learned over the years that running in the bitter cold can be really miserable if you don’t dress for it (surprise surprise!) And in seasons past, I’ve often struggled to stay warm on the most frigid days. It seemed like no matter how many layers I wore, there was one issue that kept me freezing cold most of the time—my hands just couldn’t get warm. Enter a giant, bulky pair of ski gloves that I got for Christmas about two years ago. I decided to try them on a run one morning, and it was an absolute game changer. When my hands were warm, the rest of me was too. Now, I make it a priority to wear a super warm pair of gloves almost every day of the winter. I fully believe this is the most important piece of cold weather gear a runner can have. If the temperature was 0 degrees, I would rather wear a tank top, shorts, and my gloves than a jacket, leggings, and no gloves (if you couldn’t tell, I really love my gloves!)
Eva Foam Snowshoes by Crescent Moon — Over the past few years, I've become a big fan of snowshoe running--it's a great way to stay on the trails during the (very) snowy winter months in Vermont! I love these foam snowshoes for their comfort, ease of putting on/taking off, and smooth rocker platform.
ACTIK ® CORE by Petzl — My favorite headlamp for early-morning winter miles.
