Trail Running Gear - Top Picks

Thanks to everyone for all the questions as to what I am running and racing in this year. Here are my staple favorites that I wouldn't trade for anything:

SHOES

I have been trading off between the XT Wing and the XT Whisper. The XT Wing is once again my go-to shoe, great for long days, road approach, slippery and rooty conditions and for gripping rock. The XT Whisper is ultra light and I have been using this for shorter runs and in really wet terrain because they drain really fast. This shoe is extremely breathable.
SOCKS

Ever since Badwater, my feet fell in love with SOLE's Lightweight Sport Sock. This sock provided comfort, fit, breathability and support for 135miles of hell running in 55 degree heat to YES, I know it can meet all my needs. I use it on the bike too and it never fails. Happy feet will keep you going.

PACK

Salomon continues to look out for the chicks that run. Great fit for the female frame and enough volume to carry all the necessities for a longer run, the XA 10+3 has been getting the job done. I have been loving that I don't need to mess about and make adjustments all the time. I can run for hours with this pack on, no worries.
