Although we do not do trail running, I think the article on what to wear for trail runner may be useful for the team. We can use some advices from the article to choose our clothes and gears wisely.

For me, I never wear cotton on the trail. Cotton is bad when you sweat. I always wear a cap to protect myself from sun and keep body heat from escaping from my head. My jacket is waterproof, breathable and windproof so I can use it for many reasons. I always compare the weight of hiking shoes I plan to buy and I like to buy waterproof ones. I wear double-layer sock (sock liner and wool sock) The length of socks (ankle or long) depends on temperature. I carry hydration pack and most of my gears (clothes, bag) have reflective tapes so I can be spotted at night. For the safety reason, I always carry headlight (with extra batteries) and some first-aid kit.

So invest in your gears. We don't need to buy expensive brands but good ones can make different.
