When you're in it for the long haul, cutting down the weight of your gear can keep you running for longer. Whether you're the kind to cut off your toothbrush handles, or just looking to trade in your heavy hiking boots, this collection is full of practical, weight saving solutions.

Fabrics:

At around 43 grams per square meter, Ultra-sil is an increasingly popular fabric for ultra-lightweight waterproof gear. Not content even with this, Sea to Summit has recently released Ultra-sil Nano, almost half the weight and packed size of Ultra-sil! It should be noted that while these super lightweight fabrics are remarkably strong for their weight, any material that is likely to be dragged along rocks or caught in trailside twigs should be made of a sturdier material.

Another way to cut down weight is to trade in leather, Goretex or other membrane-lined waterproof shoes for light, well-draining shoes made of mesh. This is especially useful if your routes include creek crossings or large puddles, as your shoes will expel the water while you run and dry faster. Combine with a good pair of quick drying wool socks for dry, blister-free running.
