Mercedes Siegle-Gaither's Expert Gear Recommendations
Fun Clothes for Runnin + Sports
- W's Long Bra by Janji — I LOVE this. It just happens to be one of my race kit options. It has a pocket in the back for a massive phone - and it's just cute AF.
- W's 5" Pace Short by Janji
- W's 3" Multi Short by Janji — Love these but keep in mind that split is shooort girl! Great pockets that lock in your keys and store gels.
- W's Zephyrunner Wind Shell by Janji
- W's Pace Sports Bra by Janji
- W's 4" Trail Short by Janji — I LOVE these in this color! My kit for the year is supernova - feelin pretty in pink on some tough a$$ runs. Pockets are amazing on these. AND they don't ride up. Game changing.
- W's Sunchaser 50 Hooded Long Sleeve by Janji — Love this for climbing 14ers or just trying to hide from the sun on a long run.
Training Gear
- Halo Holbrook by Oakley — These are sweet! They brighten the trail and stay locked on my noggin, no matter the workout!
