EQUIPMENT
FOR HIGH COAST
WINTER TRAIL
To embark on the High Coast Winter Trail, having the right gear is essential to make your experience both enjoyable and safe. It’s wise to start planning your packing well in advance. Begin by listing everything you plan to bring, then test-pack your backpack. Also, ensure you go out and run in the gear you intend to use during the race.
WHAT SHOES SHOULD I CHOOSE?
The choice of shoes is, of course, a matter of personal preference, but we strongly recommend a pair from Icebug. Their exceptional grip will be invaluable as you navigate the challenging terrain of the High Coast. We spoke with Joel Backa, Icebug ambassador, to get his advice on three models that are perfect for this adventure.
