Trail Equipment

Trail running gear: the pre-departure checklist

When trail running, you are often far from a water source. Your trail gear should meet four needs:

Hydration: soft flasks and hydration belt.

Storage: phone, gels, keys, poles.

Protection: windbreaker, gloves, neck warmer.

Keeping your feet dry: technical socks.

This selection brings together these items for men and women. Each piece of trail accessory is designed in France by runners. For trail clothing categorized by range, see the trail collection instead.

Carrying water: flasks and belts

The Hydra Flask 500ml is soft and fits the hand. It slips into a belt or vest. The Power Hydration Belt 500ml has a waterproof-lined zippered pocket and elastic pole holders. The 150 ml Hydra Cup is for aid stations. Compare them in the hydration belts or among the flasks and cups.

Storage without a bag: tights and shorts with pockets

The Performance Tight is polyamide tights with a wide 10 cm waistband and a drawstring. Its elasticated front pocket holds a flask or bar, its zippered back pocket keeps the phone and keys. The Performance Max Short 2 in 1 holds a 250 ml flask, the ZipRun Short 3 in 1 stores the phone behind a waterproof membrane. In winter, the Endurance Tight holds a 500 ml flask. Compare the trail tights.

Protection and keeping your feet dry

The Performance Windbreaker weighs 150 g in size M and is water-repellent. The Terrarun Windbreaker takes the same base with a mineral pattern. The SoftTech Gloves keep hands dry and remain touch-screen compatible. The TerraRun Neck Warmer, made from recycled material, can be worn as a beanie, headband, or neck warmer. For feet, the CrossRun Mid in merino wool limit odors, and the CrossRun Low have mesh zones for summer. See the running socks and the running gloves.

Questions fréquentes sur la collection Trail Equipment

What trail running gear should you take for a several-hour outing?

Carry water, nutrition, a phone, and a wind layer. A belt like the Power Hydration Belt 500ml holds a 500 ml flask at the front and a 250 ml one at the back. Add a water-repellent windbreaker like the 150 g Performance Windbreaker, and a neck warmer if the weather can turn at altitude.

Why choose a soft flask for trail running?

A soft flask fits the hand and takes up less space once empty. The 250 and 500 ml Hydra Flasks, made of thermoplastic polyurethane, fit into the front pocket of shorts, a cycling bib short, or a belt. The Performance Max Short accommodates the 250 ml, while the Endurance Tight and Power Hydration Belt 500ml accommodate the 500 ml.

What trail accessories are available for carrying poles?

Both Power Hydration Belt belts have elastic pole holders on the back. The 250 ml version adds mounting grips to prevent the poles from slipping. You keep your hands free during the rolling sections and take out the poles for the climbs. The belt also holds your flasks and your phone.

Can bib shorts replace a belt?

For a short ride, yes. The Performance Tight features a wide 10 cm waistband with a drawstring and an elasticated front pocket for a flask or bar. The Endurance Tight can hold a 500 ml flask and has a zipped back pocket. For a long ride with multiple flasks, add a hydration belt.

Which socks to choose for trail running?

For trail running, the CrossRun Mid, mid-high socks, cover the ankle. Their merino wool limits odors, useful on an ultra. The CrossRun Low, ankle-cut with mesh zones, keep feet cool in the summer. Their midfoot support band prevents the sock from slipping.
