UPF 50+. La Sportiva's Medea T-Shirt also features Polygiene, as well as body-mapped compression, a seamless construction for chafe-free comfort and reflective detailing for safety. Perfect for layering, the Breeze VNT Tank from Mountain Hardwear is moisture- wicking and contains engineered perforations for breathability. Pacsafe's Transit Hoodie and Pant provide great details for traveling comfort, including a RFIDsafe pocket for passport and wallet, a hood designed to act as a pull-down eye mask for sleeping and several icon-labeled pockets depicting where things like headphones, glasses and pens are hidden. Footwear & Accessories For professional runner and coach David Roche, the Hoka One One Challenger ATR is his "set it and forget it shoe – every day, everywhere, every run." The cushy, fast shoe "can handle any terrain with plenty of action," Roche said, noting that the shoe has a a supportive, surefooted fit. Ski mountaineer Caro- line Gleich relies upon the equally trek-worthy Keen Terradora Mid for her adven- tures. "Whether I'm going for a walk in the park by my house in the city or hiking up a 3,000-foot rocky peak, it makes my footwear decision simple," she said. Nestled in the brand's TrailFit cat- egory (bridging the gym and mountains), Terradora has a narrower last for women's specific fit and a proprietary waterproof, breathable membrane to let vapor out without letting water in. Chaco's Z/Cloud sandals have adjustable straps (easy for removal at the airport) and a podiatrist-certified poly- urethane footbed for all-day comfort, along with a performance ChacoGrip rubber outsole that is optimized for wet traction. Borrowed from the sailing world, Costa's Sun- rise Silver Mirror sunglass lenses are designed for lowlight conditions (dawn, dusk, clouds), allowing in 30 percent of the light while still maintaining a 97 percent polarization efficiency. The lenses also contain a C-Wall coating, which causes water to bead up and roll off for smudge- free wearing. Hydrolite rubber on the nose and temples optimizes face gripping even when the wearer is wet or sweaty. Meanwhile, Buff's UV Multifunctional Headband offers thermal efficiency, built-in sun protection and moisture wicking with CoolMax Pro. The headbands feature a seamless construction and Polygiene Active odor control. Gear "As a business owner, CrossFit athlete and someone who is always on the go, the 5.11 Rush72 backpack is perfect to store the es- sentials. I use it every day as a workout bag, a way to carry my laptop around, along with note-taking gear, journals and whatever book I'm currently reading – and it's outstanding for multi-day trips and events," noted Taylor Drescher, a CrossFit Games athlete. 5.11's bag is designed to be a 72-hour bag with water-repellent coating, an internal hydra- tion compartment and yoke shoulder strap construction. Eagle Creek's Weekend Warrior Gear Kit ensures maximum organization in its carry-on with Pack-It items that compress clothing and gear, along with a CoatKeeper, which secures a jacket on top of the bag and pockets for laptops and electronics. Avid runner and communications manager for Thule, Chris Ritchie, favors the Thule Sub- terra Duffel 60L "so I have access to all my day-to-day gear on top, racing stuff in another side pocket and goo in the front pocket – all separated." The bag also features an accessory pocket that can be accessed from inside and out, making it simple to grab a passport or wallet without opening the entire bag. Internal compression straps keep belongings in place and organized. l Globetrotting (continued) 114 runninginsight.com © 2017 Formula4media LLC.
