gear > a good time to buy…WINTER KITSALOMONBonattiWaterproofJacketRRP AU$199.99Everyone’s on the hunt foran ultra event-legal but superlightweight waterproof jacket, right?And while there are plenty oflightweight (190g) water-resistantor wind proofers out there –all great in their own category- there’s not much that comesclose to this beauty. Ridiculouslylightweight, the Bonatti scrunchesto fist size, and shuts down thewet to gain the ‘proof’ tag.Features include seam seals,stretchy, breathable Climapromaterial for comfort duringrigorous activity, thumb holds, stashchest pocket, large zip for gloveduse and elastic in the hood to keepit in place on the move. A winner.XT Wings GloveRRP AU$49.99Perfect for those bitterly cold winds that make yourfingers feel like an elephant is standing on them,these light weight gloves feature a reinforcedpalm for durability while carrying poles, anda rain cover that stows into the back of the glove.Ideal for unpredictable conditions where youstill need quick access to finger dexterity. Workeda treat in the icy conditions of Mount Hotham.Bonatti Waterproof PantsRRP AU$129.99Admittedly I was skeptical at the thought ofwaterproof pants for running. ‘Shwip, shwip,shwip…’ Annoying. So I was truly surprisedat how good these were – kept legs dry, breathedsome, and no real ‘shwip’ sounds. Used intough whiteout snow conditions in the HighAlps, their super-lightweight nature meant,apart from the odd need to hitch‘em back up the waist, I forgot I waswearing them. Featuring zip entryankles, drawstring waist, and seamsealed, they are an awesome bit of kitfor any wet weather task where stayingwet for too long is not an option.Speedcross 3with ClimashieldRRP AU$179.99The Speedcross has been one of themainstay bush bulldozer go-tos fora while now, their super aggressive gripand race-orientated design favouredby mud-munchers across the world.The 3 version’s upgrades include aroomier toe and a slight drop in the heelto toe, but otherwise the shoe maintainsits role as a durable, fairly lightweightracer for super tricky trail conditions.The most noticeable advance in the CSversion is the addition of Climashield,a half-foot protective lining that keepsthe forefeet drier (and warmer) inthe slop of winter. Nothing will keepyour feet waterproof when it comesto footwear and in trail running norshould you want it to, but peggingthrough the snow in Falls Creek, thesewere the perfect option, giving grip,warmth and keeping my foot moisturefree longer. The fit is snug as a racershould be, with a still-traditionalapproach to the midsole taking in a9mm heel to toe drop with plenty ofcushioning and a decent heel heightwhich some may find plays on stability.This is no shoe for hard, flat fire trails,the lugs becoming noticeable as theybump in under your foot when thegoing is smooth and solid underneath.Rather this is the go-to for supertechnical and slippery conditionswhere terrain is ever changing. In fact,you could almost play football in them.Stockist > For all Salomon trail run gear check outwww.salomon.com/au20 21
