Choosing your trail running kit
Trail running clothing is all about comfort, protection, convenience, weight and breathability. As a high-output activity, finding this balance is important, and the emphasis will vary according to the conditions you run in.
This buying guide highlights key aspects to look out for when choosing your trail running kit.
Layering basics
Think in layers:
Base: wicks moisture, keeps you dry.
Mid: adds warmth when needed.
Shell: windproof or waterproof for protection.

Other considerations
Fabric choices: Merino is natural, regulates temp, resists odour; synthetics dry faster and are tougher.
Fit and movement: Performance fit avoids chafing and improves efficiency.
Storage: Pockets for gels, keys, or phone.
Visibility: Reflective trims for low-light safety.
