Berghaus
Berghaus Paclite 2.0 GTX
Waterproof jacket with a Gore-Tex Paclite membrane (around 330 g). Fully waterproof with taped seams, fixed adjustable hood, storm flap behind the zip and cuff adjustment. Packs down small in a vest.

Gore Wear

CxM Silvia Lara
The CxM Silvia Lara is a trail running race held in Cazorla (Jaén), within the Sierras de Cazorla, Segura y Las Villas Natural Park, Spain’s largest protected natural area. In 2026 it reaches its fourth edition.
Cazorla, perched at the foot of the mountains, is the gateway to a territory of pine forests, crystal-clear rivers and exceptional biodiversity. The race pays tribute to Silvia Lara, a trail running icon in the area.
The course
The CxM Silvia Lara offers two distances through the Sierra de Cazorla trails:
- Trail 21K — 1,291m D+. A demanding route through mountain trails in the Sierra de Cazorla, with stretches through pine forests and panoramic views
- Trail 12K — 745m D+. A more accessible distance but with true mountain character
The terrain combines mountain paths, forest tracks and technical stretches through the natural surroundings of Cazorla. Altitude ranges from 626m to 1,159m.
Cazorla and its Natural Park
Cazorla is one of the most emblematic towns in Jaén and the main gateway to the Sierras de Cazorla, Segura y Las Villas Natural Park. With over 200,000 hectares, it is Spain’s largest protected area and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
The La Yedra castle, the ruins of Santa María church and the steep streets of the old town are well worth a visit. Take the opportunity to hike the Río Borosa route, one of the most popular trails in Andalusia.
