Long days on the trail demand shorts that combine pragmatism with performance. These 2-in-1 shorts feature a quick-drying UV-protective shell with a compressive short underneath. Designed for maximum carrying capacity, they include an adjustable elastic belt that’s exposed at the back for tucking in a shirt, plus two waist pockets for fuel and side liner pockets large enough to store your phone.

A sudden rain storm, whipping winds, and perilously dropping temperatures are par for the course when you’re running off roads. We set out to build a lightweight and packable jacket that could handle surprise weather without weighing you down. Featuring an innovative Schoeller fabric with a durable water repellent finish, this jacket rolls into a small pack that can be carried by hand or stashed away in a pocket.

We worked with the team at Ciele to craft an off-roads ready version of their best-selling GoCap. Plus, we’ve got bandanas, color-blocked socks and more trail essentials.

Andy Waterman joined Marcus Brown for an off-roads run to learn more about this marathoner’s busy year, which has included launching a podcast, founding Black Trail Runners and welcoming a second child. Oh, and he also just broke three hours in the marathon for the first time.
