We found the Zinal 2 to be a perfect option for shorter trail days, but missed the snappy response of the original version when running on flat, fast surfaces. The lighter weight and beefier traction help transition this model into a trail shoe that can easily tackle just about any technical surface.

Topo has made extensive efforts in sustainable material sourcing and manufacturing over the years, and this spring they incorporated several of their best process practices with the new Ultraventure 3 Eco. The shoe has an identical spec weight, geometry, fit and feel as the regular Ultraventure 3 and thankfully, it also has an identical price tag.

Sometimes there’s nothing that helps the miles pass more quickly and comfortably than listening to your favorite music or podcasts. We’ve spent several months testing a handful of headphone options best suited for ultrarunners. All of the products use wireless conduction, eliminating the hassle of plugs and cords, and allowing complete freedom of movement.

This year’s update to the Petzl NAO headlamp has significant improvements in increased brightness and decreased weight, along with Petzl’s exceptional Reactive Lighting technology. The result is Petzl’s top-of-the-line option for fast movement over long distances across all kinds of terrain. If that wasn’t enough incentive to consider this model, Petzl also dropped the MSRP by $30 from the previous version.

We were excited to get our hands on this update, as the original Tecton X was a top pick from our spring 2022 shoe review lineup. We were happy to see that HOKA nailed making some minor improvements without taking away the features we loved, and while carving out a full ounce from the overall spec weight of the original.
