Hello everyone!

Today, I have prepared a special section on themandatory equipment to have for Ultra Trail races. You're lucky, it is almost all on Alpinstore.com.

You are more and more to participate in these Ultra-Trails , but for this, the rules are strict, you must be well equipped.

We detail, for you, the mandatory equipment:

- Personal cup 15cl minimum: the Soft Cup of Salomon is flexible and will accompany you in all your Trail races.

- Water reserve minimum 1 liter: There are many water pockets, today I show you the water pocket 2L Hydrapak tank , the most of it, it is reversible, therefore easily cleanable.

- Two lamps in good working order with spare batteries for each lamp: the Revolt headlamp from Black Diamond and Bushnell's 1000 lumen flashlight will be your best allies after dark.

- Survival blanket of 1.40m x 2m minimum: The survival blanket Gold 60g Arva at $4.20 will be perfect.

- Whistle: no need to buy one, in most Trail bags it is integrated, like in the Skin Pro 10 bag from Salomon.

- Jacket with hood and made with a membrane (Gore-Tex or similar) that is waterproof (recommended minimum 10,000 Schmerber) and breathable (recommended RET less than 13) to withstand bad weather in the mountains: the Salomon Bonatti Wp jacket fulfils all the characteristics.

- Long-legged running trousers or tights OR a combination of tights and socks covering the entire leg: With Salomon's Agile Long Tight, performance and comfort are guaranteed.

- Warm long-sleeved garment ("second layer" type, cotton excluded) with a minimum weight of 180g cap or bandana or equivalent : The intermediate layer S-lab X Alp Hz Mid of Salomon will give you warmth and technicality.

- Cap: as far as the cap is concerned, we strongly recommend theAdult Chase Beanie brand Icebreaker. What's that for? Quite simply, because it is light, odour resistant and warm thanks to the merino wool.

- Warm and waterproof glo ves: the waterproof gloves Black Diamond Lightweight are perfect for active days.

- Waterproof overpants: the Torrentshell rain pants from Patagonia is extremely compressible and waterproof, ideal to protect you from fickle weather.

For your information, we also need these other little things:

- Mobile phone with an option allowing its use in the three countries (put the organization's security numbers in your phonebook, keep your phone on, don't hide your number and don't forget to leave with a charged battery)

- Adhesive elastic bandage for bandaging or strapping (mini 100 cm x 6 cm)

- Food reserve

Now all you have to do is get dressed and go!

Good luck to all the traileurs!
