Trailandultrarunning.com went to the Summer Outdoor Retailer Trade Show to meet with a few companies and get a good look at their new line for Fall ’13 and Spring ’14. What we saw was incredible, to say the least. More surprising was how many of these companies actively engaged with us to provide a detailed preview of their forthcoming products.
The result is that we have an amazing Fall line-up of reviews for you to help prep you for next year’s racing season. Take a look at some of our reviews already in test.
[learn_more caption=”Comparative Trekking Pole Review” state=”open”] Three companies stepped up big and sent us some of the most awesome trekking poles on the market. Poles have been an integral part of trail and ultra running in Europe, but it’s only now starting to take off in the States. We can tell you now that after you try a set of these poles out for yourself, you’ll be hooked. We will bring you poles from REI, Komperdell, and Leki.[/learn_more]

These gels will be put to the test on local trails and joined in on one of the biggest race stages in the US, the Wasatch 100.[/learn_more]

It was a surprise when they sent us the whole line. Just wait, they’ve got some pretty cool stuff coming out.[/learn_more]
