This is by far the best race related/ gear video I have ever seen, and I have watched way more than would be considered healthy. Thank you.

Thanks for this, you've put my mind at ease alot with this. Although doing the challenger north to start with, it's helped

Having spent 30 years in the infantry I thought I knew all there was to know about kit but that was an education. I did the 2016 Spine in inov8 mud claw and had wet feet from the start a good sock made the difference. But I will certainly be looking at the footwear set-up you recommend thank you for your knowledge ps i,m old school map and compass for me

The best gloves I've ever purchased are Showa Temres 282. Highly recommend for cold weather adventures.

Brilliant video thanks 🙏 No current Spine ambitions but eyeing up some ‘shorter’ winter races and some of this info will be very applicable.

Great vid! What size Epxed have you used for the sleep system?

Great review, gloves are huge in terms of impact, I did a lot of testing and still had problems last year, those mitts look good, I have the same but with fingers but they can be horrendous getting on in the wet, next time I'll have mittens. How are those la sportiva cyklon for size compared to Hoka ? Hoka fit me perfect and I'll have to order some of those FX online.
