Godlike trail shoes for anything. Feel ultra solid backpacking, on trail races, rocky scrambles and wet terrain. They are somewhat of a bear to get on because of the snug heel/tongue wrap setup but immovable once donned, reducing the risk of blisters. Zero complaints.

Greetings skyrun, at some point I am going to be scoping some new trail shoes. I currently run the scarpa spin ultra and dynafit alpine and while I like them both, neither are excellent in mud, on dirt roads, nor especially comfortable on long runs. I am looking for something more cushioned and versatile, possibly less technical. might this fit the bill?

I got the 46mm silicone version of this watch and it is cash money. Some key upsides I have noticed already include: + excellent battery life. quick-charging + comfortable, low-profile design + quick and accurate satellite sync + intuitive app and customizable layout. Negatives: - There is no backlight which does save battery, but it means you have to unlock the watch to read when you are out of direct sunlight. - The little bands that keep the strap in place are sticky and hard to move, makes it hard to t...

This is the first running vest/pack I have ever used and am using the $∑!ƒ∫ out of it.

I made the mistake once of going out with the various pouches half filled and it bounced pretty uncomfo...

I got this body bottle to complement a CAMP running pack I recently received from skyrun as well. The 500ml volume works great in my 600ml hydration pocket with minimal sloshing even as it's drained. The locking cap seems to prevent leaks and the soft material is as advertised, sort of shrink wrapping down rather than crinkling/folding. I will say after 5-8 uses it still has a distinctly plastic taste which is not my favorite.
