Finally, we like the included Body Bottle II 500-milliliter soft flasks, as their flattish shape rides against your chest comfortably. Ultimate Direction’s Comfort Cinch version 2.0 - how you adjust the overall fit of the pack around your torso - takes some getting used to, but once you do, it allows for a more precise fit than you can get on other packs. With room for bottles, a bladder, a large phone, and even trekking poles, this vest is sure to please someone in every race distance, from a vertical kilometer to an ultramarathon. But we’ve tested this vest on all kinds of outings, and we’ve found that for most people on most runs, this sleek pack should do just fine. The Race Vest 5.0/Race Vesta 5.0 is the most pared-down version of the Ultimate Direction Signature Series. Made in nearly identical capacities for men and women, the Ultimate Direction Race Vest 5.0 (for men) and Ultimate Direction Race Vesta 5.0 (for women, pictured here) is a lightweight, durable, and low-profile running vest that still has all the pockets you need for your goodies on your regular runs as well as race day.

Be sure to read our in-depth Altra Lone Peak 5 review, too.
If you’ve never tried a foot-shaped, zero-drop shoe, it’s best to ease into their use gradually. At the start line of any trail race, there is always a large portion of runners wearing the latest model, which thankfully for them, hasn’t changed a lot since the Lone Peak’s inception.
There is good reason that this is such a popular shoe the Lone Peak has always had a very comfortable upper, dependable cushioning and rock plate, and what some of us would describe as a glorious toebox.
The idea here is simple: to allow the feet and toes to take their normal shape even when in a shoe. Altra shoes are built around the concept that they call the FootShape toebox, which is wider and has more volume than most trail running shoes. The Altra Lone Peak 5 is the current model in the long Lone Peak lineage, which is one of the most popular trail running shoes ever.

Check out our in-depth Brooks Cascadia 16 review to learn more. If most of your runs are dry, then you can go with the standard version, but if you’re consistently running through snow or mud, then you may want to go with the Brooks Cascadia 16 GTX. While some shoe companies and designs focus on hyper-specific terrain, Brooks tends toward its ethos of “total comfort,” from the casual weekend loper to the mountain trail adventurer, especially when it comes to the Cascadia 16. Dirt, rocks, snow, and scree - the Cascadia 16 runs well on them all. Transitioning well from road to trail and with a traditional heel-toe drop, the Cascadia 16 speaks to the popularity of using the shoe on a variety of terrain. The Brooks Cascadia 16 is the current iteration of one of the most time-tested, runner-approved trail running shoes out there.
