āThereās a saying here in Colorado, āIf you donāt like the weather, wait 5 minutes.ā During a big day in the Colorado mountains, you might see rain, sunshine and even snow during one adventure. Itās important that your gear not only protects you from the elements, but that you feel comfortable all day long.
Montaneās dedication to producing the highest quality gear for all environments and climates makes their clothing and gear an easy pick when choosing your kit. It also feels good knowing Montane builds their products with sustainable materials, minimising the carbon footprint of their athletes. My top gear pick for any long run is the Gecko VP 5+ hydration pack!ā
