Fuji Trail Graphic Short
Sleeved Top.
RRP £32
This top was perfect.
The design of the
sleeves meant I was
totally unrestricted on
movement. The all over
design stood out and
the wicking properties of
the material kept me dry
no matter how much I
sweated. Always a bonus
when you don’t return
home a dripping, red
faced, sweaty mess.
CLOTHING
review
GALS
Gel – FujiRUNNEGADE.
RRP £90
My favourite feature about these has to be the sock-like
fit around the ankle to keep the mud out. Even better
than that, it actually works! The chunky lugs on the sole
meant that the grip was super grippy and the
shoe itself, super comfy. The brilliant
PlasmaShield technology actually repels water
and mud which meant a quick wash down when
I got home and they were good to go. Unlike
my usual scrubbing and bucket dunking. I was
impressed with these and highly recommend them.
Fuji Trail Sock.
RRP £12
You know you’ve found a
good sock when there is no
evidence of a long run on
your feet. They supported me
where I needed it most and
the dual density cushioning
in all the right places was a
welcome feature.
Fuji Trail Tight.
RRP £60
I normally wear calf
compression sleeves but
with these tights I didn’t
need to. They supported
my muscles where I needed
it most. They were super
supportive and comfortable
for the entirety of my run
and the elastic storage loops
were perfect for my gels.
The tie up waistband meant
they actually stayed up and
they weren’t forever slipping
down. The gripper pads on
the thighs gave me extra
leverage when I got so tired
going up a hill I was having to
push off my own quad just to
get up it.
Fuji Trail Packable Jacket.
RRP £70.
I loved this lightweight hooded jacket.
So light I barely knew I was wearing it but windproof enough to
keep the chilly wind off. The reflective print ensured I was visible
after I lost daylight too. It packs away into a teeny tiny little pouch
which conveniently tucked into the elastic pocket of my tights.
There’s no reason to get caught in the rain now.
