How to choose the right trail running clothing for each season of the year

When running in the mountains, there are certain peculiarities that you should take into account when buying your clothing for trail running. Keep in mind that you will be running long runs, that there will be sudden changes in temperature, that both cold and heat can be extreme, and that there are chances of you running into rain, snow or hail.

So how do you choose the right trail running clothing?

• Utilize breathable and quick-drying materials that wick moisture away from your skin to keep you dry, cool and comfortable and avoid overcooling.
• Use a system of adaptable layers that you can easily adjust as weather conditions change. You can wear a lightweight base, an insulating intermediate layer and an outer layer resistant to water and wind.
• Select garments with UV protection and water repellent treatments to protect you from the sun and light rain.
• Make sure that the clothes are rugged to tears and abrasions, especially important on routes with dense vegetation or rocky terrain.
• Clothes must have a comfortable fit, being loose enough to allow you a wide range of motion but not so wide that it can be attached to branches or shrubs.
• For races in low light conditions or on trails shared with cyclists and other runners, choose clothing with reflective elements or bright colors. Being visible to others is critical to your safety.
• Don't forget to use the suitable accessories, such as seamless socks, caps for rain or sun and gloves for low temperature conditions.

Trail running clothing: what to wear on different types of terrain

Choosing the right trail running clothing for each situation is essential to ensure your protection and comfort. Which garments to choose in each case? Follow these instructions:

• For rocky and technical terrain, where you will encounter rocks and roots, it is essential to wear abrasion-resistant clothing. Choose t-shirts and pants made from durable materials. Gloves can be useful to protect your hands in case of falls or when passing close to thorny vegetation.
• In muddy or wet trails, that is, wet and muddy terrain, choose garments with water repellent treatments and footwear with good grip. A lightweight waterproof jacket is essential for keeping the rain out without overheating.
• If you go by deserted and sunny routes, where the land is open, protection from the sun is essential. Wear clothing with high UV protection, hats or caps, and sunglasses. Wearing lightweight, breathable fabrics will help you keep your body cool when the heat is tight.
• In roads with pronounced changes in altitude you will face large temperature variations, so we recommend using a layer system that you can easily adjust. Don't forget a breathable and water resistant outer jacket.
