Strategically padded yet thin, cool and breathable, looks good...what more do you want in a trail running sock? I love how they fit my foot and don't move, let my foot move or bunch up. I got a Large for my 11.5-12 foot and it seems good.

This vest is very comfortable and doesn't get in your way. As others have said, it's not too puffy like some vests. I wear it before and after running, kayaking and what not. It's also low enough profile that it's comfortable to wear while sitting in a chair with your laptop. I expect I'll be packing it along next winter for something to put on under a softshell when the going gets cold since it seems to be very stuffable. There are a plethora of pockets which is nice too...and they all zip up!

I got these shoes with the North Face GTX Winter gaiters for running in slush/snow. I live in North Idaho and run forest roads and single track. Up here we often see snow until June in the mountains and then it comes back a few months later. I've found these shoes to be waterproof, to have great traction even in the snow\mud, and to be very comfortable. They are breathable enough and light enough that I plan to wear them in the summer, as well. I wear between an 11.5 and a 12 and I ordered a 11.5. I tried a 12 on before and it was a bit too loose. The 11.5's felt tight until I had run about 30 miles in them and now they fit like a glove. I have narrow feet.
