Best trail running gear

17 products reviewed · Updated March 2026

We've selected the best trail running gear. Each product has been evaluated for race performance, value for money and runner reviews.

Trail shoes, hydration vests, trekking poles, waterproof jackets and the rest of the gear you need. Every recommendation is tailored to the race's specific terrain: high-altitude scree in Sierra Nevada calls for very different shoes than a forest trail in the Basque Country.
