GEAR OF THE YEAR is back for 2023! In the end, I had WAY more ties than I thought I would so I’ll fix that for next year 😂. What items did I miss on the list this year??
women's apparel 😢
Maybe Kim could do the women’s version?
would you use the enduris for a backyard ultra ? or go in another direction ? :)
The video we’ve been waiting for all year
Ive been waiting 2 years for this one
Salomon vest is forever on the list. It’s just so good
Can’t wait!
This my favorite episode!!! Thanks Ethan! Please encourage Kim to do a similar episode for women’s gear!!
Happy Holidays!!
Always look forward to this video 👊
love this video every year 👍👍👍👍
Nice video and very helpful 😊
Yessss...enjoy these yearly reviews. Hi 5 to the side and back bruv
The ONE video to watch yearly to stock up and discover new merchandise/brands. Thanks for the video!
Perfect timing just about to buy some new wheels
Yes ... I also discovered the small resealable bags and they have been a game changer re storing my powdered nutrition in drop bags. Love them!
This is go great, I watch this every year to update my gear. Greeting from Patagonia Argentina!
Many years ago, I bought the Tracksmith crew neck sweater after Ethan's enthusiastic suggestion. To this day, it is my very favorite article of clothing!
Love that waist lamp too! Game changer! And so easy to charge. 😊
Still waiting for Beer of the year , Frozen Pizza of the year, or nacho topping of the year category...maybe next year???🙃
Maurten gels. They are awesome in races and long runs or rides. Especially because don't need water when you take a gel.
Still the 🐐! Thank you!
Me gustó mucho este vídeo!
Thank you
GEAR OF THE YEAR!!!!
Yay!!!
Thumbs up since beginning ❤from Sintra Lisboa Portugal 😉
Really enjoy the rei swiftland 7" shorts.
Oooo i love the nike infinity rn 4!. Just got the gold version🔥
Thanks for the update always love your reviews 👍
love the Non Elite hat! thanks for the support!
Gotta represent!
Ran Moab 1/2 marathon trail run this year, must have gear was Salomon vest, Skratch hydration and energy chews, and Hoka Speedgoat shoes. Resealable bags critical for nutrition on course.
The 6 mil resealable bag is a game changer. I don’t know why I never thought of it, but I’m glad you did!
So simple yet SO effective!
Hey great video but can’t believe you missed the Merrell Agility Peak 5 this year ! 🤦♂️ hands down best trail shoe I’ve run in for years!! Ian 🇬🇧
Finally, it’s here 🤩👏🏻
THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THE SHERPA SHORTS IN THERE, I got these shorts for $15 at my local running store and they're amazing. It's like the only short that has a side pocket for your phone that fits super well! Overall, I love it!
This is my favorite video of the year! Thank you GR and happy new year!
I'm patting myself on the back for finding a couple of those products all by myself.😊
Thanks for the video Ethan! Just wanted to ask you about the durability of the Vectiv Enduris 3: many people say they last only a hundred km, how much did your pair last before the outsole lugs gave out?? They’re super cool and (maybe) they’ll be my next pair of shoes :)
One of the highlights of the year. I love your review - great job / keep it up
Great list as always, Looking forward to trying the TNF Enduris. Looking forward to what you have in store for '24
Love my TNF summit vectiv pros! Went on a short 3 miler with them and didn’t want to stop! They feel like a more snappy, responsive racier version of my speedgoats, so excited to run my first ultra in them at the end of January! Keep up the great work ginger runner really could not be happier with the videos you pump out 💪
You’re gonna crush your ultra!! Report back on how it goes!
10/10 FTC disclaimer
Love the TNF Summit Vectiv Pro! Amazing underfoot feel. North Face and Rabbit your brands of the year it seems, hard to argue! Thanks for a great video.
Curious what you'd think of some of Tracksmith's apparel / gear. Some of my personal favorites (albeit on the expensive side - but holding up well over the years)
This is the video I'm really waiting for every year, thank you!
I love that rnnr made the list. I absolutely love their hats.
The first gear of the year videos I watch many years ago and still the best!
Got to add “watch of the year” or tracking gadget… if not a watch haha
Great video as always. I personally loved the Topo Athletic MTN Racer 3 this year. Great (Vibram) grip, durable and so comfortable.
Those were my go-to for fastpacking all summer, definitely getting a fresh pair next year.
Love this episode. Well done. One word of caution. I love the flavor of Bobo's as well, but there is one problem for me with strawberry filling in particular. Strawberries are on the dirty dozen list for pesticide residue. IMHO, one should only be eating organic strawberries to limit pesticide ingestion. Happy gut = happy trails.
Extra protein
You should try the T8 Sherpa shorts, gonna blow the Brooks shorts out of the water
Atreyu Base Trail for the budget trail/road to trail trainer. Love the shoe.
When will the Novablast 4 review be out??
Hmmm shorts project? Are you working with Pearl Izumi for a special edition GR shorts? 🤯
If you live near a north face outlet store, you can get the Enduris right now for $65!
😮😮😮
I am trying to decide between the Coros Apex 2 Pro and the Garmin 965. Any thoughts?
The Novablast is out here saving lives. Agreed. Have gone through 3 pairs of Novablast 3s(will be going into hoard mode since they are on sell) and picking up the 4.
Damn hero, it is!
wow,... bagus sangat
Thanks for list! Which shoe would be better for 50 K mixed surface race (gravel, asphalt, trail), the North Face Enduris or Eminus?
Those two are pretty close so I’d say whichever you get cheaper 😊. But I’d probably still lean Enduris for the added upper structure
I bought the Enduris largely based on your review.., and I am extremely satisfied.., plus I got them on sale from Al’s in Idaho … great deal.
Boom!
Love this vid series man. Wish you posted more but I’m sure you’re busy and burnt out with posting like the early days.
Dunno if you have tired tracksmith but their shorts put the sherpas to shame (I have both). Yes they are stupid expensive but I can’t tolerate any liner but theirs now and they last much longer than the sherpas.
Love this vid every year, could there be an addition of some women's specific gear too next round?
Yeah man! Love your gear of the year videos! I’ve also been loving the VECTIV Enduris shoes - I specifically bought them since I’m a commercial photographer - and I wanted a single pair of shoes that I could wear in the airport/on set, and while I get a run-in wherever I’m filming. They handle way better on the trail but I’ve actually put some miles in them on the road and they felt nice, surprisingly - even though they’re not my daily trainers. Thanks again for all you do with your videos and all the work you put into them.
WORD! THE PBJ BoBos is ✌️👉✌️
........ no imoji for quit.😢
I have been waiting oh so long for this. Have used this as a resource for buying several things in the past. Most notably The North Face Ventrix hoody. I think you should have a new category next year...best item you've continued to used from past gear of the year reviews to present day. Thank you for this wonderful tradition!
That’s a good idea! There are certainly items that stand the test of time year after year!
Great video! Wish you had chapter markers to jump around the video 😊
I put them in the description - not sure why they aren’t showing up though
I see them now! Wonder if CZcams has a processing delay when adding chapters after uploading 🤔
I figured it out, you’re gonna be making your own line of Jorts. You’ve been working with either like Nike or Lululemon and Levi’s so that you have the perfect blend of materials it won’t shave but it still looks like real denim shut off shorts
Killer list, Ethan! (As always) I’ve been trying to tell people how great the Brooks Sherpa shorts are! I cut out the liners and use XOskin liners, but whatever. Path Projects stuff looks awesome, I need to finally check them out. Aaaand, the GR/rnnr collab hat is def happening! Thanks again and happy new year!
I'd really like to see some consideration of sustainability in this list. Performance is important, but quality and environmentally friendly is better.
How about you be considerate and keep highly politicised matter out of people's pastimes and let them enjoy life a little.
@@dasdWARf sustainability isn't political.
Great list. Going to pick up one of those waist belts for sure. The Novablast is a strange one for me... so much love for it but it just didn't work for me at all.
The belts are okay provided you don't get your nuts caught in the clasp. I was at an aid station this summer and when I was packing up I caught my nuts in the clasp.
I'd be keen to know if the ora slides have that hoka fit/toebox?
It’s a super flexible fabric upper. No real constraint, love em
Thanks - can definitely vouch for the COROS hr monitor it’s been great for me. Never worn my old chest strap since getting the coros
Do you know if it only works with Coros watches? I have a garmin watch
@@jamesdrury6627 believe it’s all connects with Bluetooth - my peloton tread can read it as well as my watch
what about agressive technical trail shoe category and not just road to trail bland shoes for ultras
I love rabbit’s FKT shorts- the perforated section of fabric helps keep things cool on hot days. They offer both boxer and brief linings for the mens…
I got the Caldera 6 after your video and I couldn’t be happier! For roads, probably the Ghost Max. That shoe has no right being as good as it is
The new Calderas look SICK. Can’t wait to test em out too!
Can’t help but agree that the Novablast from ASICS has been amazing!
Such a smooth fun ride!
Nice beanie! @Kofuzi
Im surprised that the Saucony Endorphin Edge didnt make the list
Suoer surprised you've put up Nike shoes on this list. My local running stores are dropping the Nike brand altogether since their shoes are outdated and there's no demand except for the carbon super-shoes.
I enjoyed the video a lot, happy new year!
Trust me, I’m surprised as well! Can’t remember if they’ve ever made my list aside from Alphas!
@@TheGingerRunner Weren't the Zegama's on your list last year? Regardless, they're great shoes on non-technical terrain, not too dissimilar from the NB More Trails. Only downside is the lack of Vibram which I think changes in the next model.
@cyruse7027 My personal issue with Nike is mostly that the midsole in the vast majority of their shoes is uninspiring, and their outsole doesn't last nearly as long as it used to.
The Nike Pegasus 32 was an amazing shoe for me. I has 4 pairs and put about 800 miles on all of those pairs. The last Peg I tried was the 38 and I had to bin that after 400 miles with a worn-through outsole.
Do you not get too hot with the futurefleece?
I wonder if that resealable bag food safe?
Asics fujispeed 2's really aren't getting the love they deserve. They put all the other plated shoes to shame in he grip/lug department and give great propulsive feel.
Great review as always. Just a shame some of the kit doesn't seem to be available in the UK. That Run Rabbit jacket looks great
The Bobo pb&j is aaahhhhmmaaazballllsss
Brooks Caldera 6 isn’t better than the New Balance X More Trail Version 3 ?
I was mixed on Caldera, while I really did enjoy it, the more trail was just in rotation more consistently. New Caldera looks sick though
Amazing video as always!
And Saucony probably charged an arm and leg for the Elite to offset the cost of the cringey wooden box kits they sent out 🤣
Just bought the Vectiv enduris 3 in sale. Will see how good it is in 2024.
Love it… going to try the north face trail shoes 👍🏻
The vectic enduris is a plated shoe. Not carbon
Videos like this need a Time Stamp
Okay I just made a comment of the gear of the year 2022 thinking it was the 2023 anywho. I'm happy that there is a video that finally came out and check it almost daily. My family will know that it's just not a shoe review this time 😆
The rift destroyed my toes on the downhills. Went back to the Hoka Speedgoat 5's!🔥🔥🔥🔥
I‘m surprised that the Endorphin Elite made it into the list. It was a „WHY“ when you reviewed it. I like it a lot as it is a more stable super shoe
I thought you gave Endorphin Elites a "why" in their review. Did your opinion on them change?
Great Gear of the Year, as always!
Dear Ethan, do you use the future fleece top as a base layer or an outer layer with a base under it? What temp ranges do you use it for yourself?
I use it solo - 35-60°F. If colder than freezing, I’ll put a jacket over top
Gps watches
I'm sad Altra has fallen off the list - but I've not been super impressed, so I get it - but we all love a come back story, right?!?
Setbacks are setups for comebacks! Yeah Altra has sucked last few seasons. Here’s hoping they figure it out!
I’m still an Altra fan!!!
A disagree and a massive agree. For me the disappointment of the year was without a doubt the Novablast 3. Haven't tried the 4 yet and probably won't. It is nowhere near as comfy, soft or bouncy as expected.
The Enduris 3 is an absolutely brilliant shoe. A perfect mix of fit, midsole and grip. I would like longer studs but thats just a personal preference.
The Infinite might offer a bit more tooth length for ya!
@@TheGingerRunner On the list 😉
Thanks Ethan, i always trust your opinion so am going to treat myself to a Coros HR strap 👍
Great review! 100% agree on the best trail shoes!! TNF and Rabbit FTW🥳
Kinvara Pro is heavy. Hoka Rocket X2 much better
if you are working on making a short, pls pls pls, make a XXL option, for us fellows with a bit more booty. jussayin.., we are out here, and XXL WILL SELL OUT.
I see you!!
Are you the GOATMENTATOR from the NBA TOP 10?
I hope your shorts experiment doesn't involve the word 'path', because that would be disappointing.
