Types of Trail Running Apparel

The right trail running apparel depends on factors such as weather conditions, terrain, and personal preferences. Having a variety of types in your trail running wardrobe allows you to adapt to different situations and run comfortably all year round.

• Shorts:  Lightweight and breathable trail running shorts designed for freedom of movement and ventilation are ideal. Look for options with built-in liner shorts for added comfort and moisture-wicking properties.
• Leggings or Tights:  Leggings or tights provide extra coverage and protection against elements like thorns, rocks, and insects. They offer compression, support, and moisture-wicking capabilities.
• Tops:  Breathable and moisture-wicking tops keep you cool and dry during your runs. These come in various styles, including short-sleeve, long-sleeve, and sleeveless options.
• Jackets:  Lightweight and packable running jackets or windbreakers protect you from wind and unexpected weather changes. Some jackets offer water resistance to keep you dry in light rain.
• Vests or Hydration Packs:  Trail running vests and packs allow you to carry water, nutrition, and other essentials comfortably on longer runs. Look for vests with multiple pockets for organized storage.
• Base Layers:  Moisture-wicking base layers help regulate body temperature and keep you dry by wicking away sweat.
• Hats and Visors:  Wear a trail running hat to shield your face from the sun and provide shade.
• Socks:  Trail running socks with moisture-wicking properties and cushioning provide comfort and prevent blisters during long runs.
• Gaiters:  Gaiters prevent debris like rocks, twigs, and dirt from entering your shoes and socks.
• Gloves:  Lightweight gloves protect your hands from scratches, provide grip, and offer a bit of warmth during cooler runs.
