. A synthetic fiber insulation with moderate breathability and warmth is recommended.
Winter trails are warm when you are running, but after a short break, you will quickly cool down , so you want to be equipped with compact insulated clothing. Down is fine, but it will not maintain its loft when wet, so we recommend a synthetic fiber insulation. In addition to warmth, it is better to have adequate breathability and elasticity. If you use it on the way to and from the trail, you will not need to carry more luggage.

In fact, it is a major factor in comfort. Check closely for steam and support.
As with socks for road running, the basic rule is to choose socks that provide adequate support and good sensation underfoot, but many runners wear slightly thicker socks on trails because the surface is uneven and the shock to the feet on the descent is greater. . Since the time spent on the trail is also longer, it is also important to choose a material that does not get damp. In winter, merino wool blends are also popular because of their excellent heat retention properties.
