Brooks once saved my life, or at least my feet. I was doing a world first trek from the Atlas to the Atlantic in 2015 and as it was hiking with tent, supplies etc was wearing my much-loved Scarpa boots.

PHD are leaders in the field for making excellent weight-to-warmth ratio sleeping bags and sleeping systems. How much warmth you need at night is a personal thing although some races do specify a minimum weight/specification.

“If I did it again, I’d take poles,” were Gavin Barrett’s words as he finished the Everest Trail Race, a 6 day stage ultra in the Himalaya. I certainly wouldn’t have liked to attempt it without them. In a mountain ultra, poles can help with everything from speed to stability.

I had often heard of the mythical down trouser, a piece of kit so magical that it could save you from freezing your ass-ets off at even the lowest temperatures, so imagine my delight when the opportunity to try out a pair in suitably chilly (-10ºC) conditions arose.

When you need a really warm, light layer to put on after a run, or during if you are in extremely cold conditions, nothing beats a down jacket. They represent instant warmth and can make all the difference to your overall state when you need to keep your core temperature up.

Winter is coming and it is time to really think about getting all those base layers out and stacked one on the other. I have been checking out one of our often featured brands, Craft, and also Rohan, which I haven’t used for running before but which, of course, are very well established in the hiking and outdoors market.

At just 115g c is a contender for the lightest waterproof breathable jacket on the market. We put it through its paces around the trails of Chamonix to see if the elusive goal of a truly waterproof breathable 100g jacket has been attained.

The new On Running Cloudventure shoe series is “made for trail runners on a mission”. The brand states: “Cloudventure is a lightweight, fast and engineered shoe to handle anything the mountains can throw at you, whether you’re going up or down.”

Running packs are perhaps one of those unsung heroes of running product design. It can be rather tricky to produce a bag that is light, able to carry your required kit and at the same time remain comfy, ie not bounce around, whilst you run.

This round-up test will be of most interest to female ultra runners, although the guys might like to buy their girlfriend/partner/wife the perfect running gift.
