Nao RL Headlamp by Petzl — Exchangeable rechargeable battery pack. No bounce (light weight light on the front, battery pack on the back). Excellent illumination.
Nitecore NB10000 Gen 3 Ultra-Slim USB-C Power Bank by Nitecore — SUPER awesome battery pack. The lightest for the capacity. I've had for like three years and use it weekly for topping up my phone in daily life as well as as a backup power supply for travel and racing.
ULTRATRAIL FX.ONE SUPERLITE by Leki — Super light, easily collapsed, clip-in gloves are great. Size up on the length if you're planning to use then for a while (more advanced = longer) and the customer service is great!
Trail running socks - Trail T-Free by Sidas US — Great if one happens to have a tendency for blisters beside the big toe. Preventative yo!
Anti-friction cream by Sidas — This cream is AMAZING. I put it on the night before racing and again the morning of and is the best preventative blister care I've ever found. 🎉
AONIJIE Light Green 10L Trail Running Vest Backpack - C9116 by AONIJIE — Light, cheap, well designed. Good pockets, comfortable. Ticks all the boxes for me!
SiS BETA Fuel Gel - Neutral by SiS — 15% off: <span id="docs-internal-guid-35070df2-7fff-7f44-54d4-1e8d39da192f"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">ROBYNRUNS
</span></span>40g carb in a small volume. The Neutral flavor has not much/no taste (which I prefer).
I empty these into the hydrapac nutrition flasks and the combo makes nutrition SO much easier to get down.
Precision Fuel - Carb Only Drink Mix - 30 Serving by Precision Fuel — I use the carb only drink mix because I am a low salt sweater and prefer to get my salt elsewhere.
Precision drink mix has a very light taste and isn't too sweet. A really nice simple product. I mix at 30g/bottle to supplement my gels.
Soft Flask W-MX 500 mL by Black Diamond — Wide mouthed. Simple flasks. Easy to use lids.
Shokz OpenRun Mini Headphones Black by Shokz — The Minis are awesome. So much better than the regular size in any other brands of bone conducting headphones. Like actually. I had no idea they'd make such a difference. Don't get stuck on my hair, don't bounce. I got converted!..
COROS APEX 2 Pro by COROS — I've been using my Apex 2 since early 2023. Still going strong!
COROS Heart Rate Monitor by COROS — SO comefy and effective. I got my coros arm band when I wanted a backup for my chest strap monitor. (like three years ago) And I never went back. Slight (~1sec) delay from chest strap (because the arm band is optical vs. detecting the heart's electrical activity) but the numbers line up and the arm band is so so much more comfortable that the slight delay is absolutely worth it.
AONIJIE Trekking Pole Holder – Compatible with C9116 Hydration Pack-E4433 by AONIJIE — This is the simplest most versatile pole quiver out there. It works on Aonijie packs but also on any pack! (there are two options for attachments on the top and one simply goes around the shoulder strap of any pack) And if your pack doesn't have a way to attach the bottom you can just use a safety pin.. SO simple, well designed and inexpensive.
Shokz OpenSwim Pro Headphones Red by Shokz — Holds mp3 files with a battery life of 6hrs in mp3 mode. No mp3 player needed! Hallelujah 🎉
