I wish Kim would be included to share her women's running gear of the year!
Yes!!! That would be amazing to have Kim give us her women’s gear review!!!
Yes I would love that too! Miss her reviews.
Also agree with this!! ^^
I’d love a Vert hat in green just for the French crossover pun. I’ll be the coolest dad at French immersion school drop off.
I fucking lost it when you pulled a pair of cobra pliers out of the tights pocket. Such a running essential.
So glad someone noticed!!
You need a favorite Running-related book category
I too love the Saucony Endorphin Speed.
the thing about post run jogger pants is that they need to be able to be quick dry as well, cause no doubt the sweat from the shorts underneath will add perspiration to the pants.
Definitely the Naked Running Belt. Golden 👌🏼
OK we don't have bears where I run in the south of England but I need to get that mini airhorn 😅
I mean, it is just fun to have :)
@@TheGingerRunner we've got sheep around here. Sheep can be dangerous right? Yeh definitely can justify getting one 😅
Mental health is super important!
This is always one of my favorite videos each year. Looking forward to what you have to talk about!
I love this video every year. To hear there is also another GR movie coming out is so exciting. Keep up the great work
WOW ! THANK YOU ! For the awesome information on the running gear.
Even though I live in the UK where we can’t get some of your gear recommendations, I still love watching your gear of the year. Happy New Year, Ethan and Kim ❤
Great list, always worth waiting for...excited to see what gear/shoes you will be reviewing next...best wishes
Merry New Year GR.
The more I run, the more your input finds truth on trail.
Wide footer so the NB Super Comp were my go to pavement Princess shoes.
Thanks for all you do.
The Janji Groundwork tights and half tights are amazing. So many thoughtful touches!
P.S. I’m sure Kim just loves your modeling poses! 😂😂😂
Finally ❤ Bin waiting for it before Christmas 🎄
Always look forward to this vid thank you!
running belts have been a go to for me this year! Either the naked belt or compressport makes one as well that I really like! And ciele hats are great, throw them in the wash as much as needed. I'm with you on injinji socks....the best.
Thanks for this! Well done!
Glad you liked the shredder shorts too! It's a game changer of shorts. For me, my trail shoe of the year was the nnormall kjerag. The combo of the comfort, durability, light weight, and the grip is just a winner for all conditions.
Brilliant video! Really enjoyed it and even added a couple items to my post-Christmas shopping list!
Great work as always. !!!
Happy New year!!!
You know what, Ethan? I took a break since March 2021. Now, that I'm attempting to get back, you're the first guy I go to when I wanna get some info on shoes and all. Glad to see you again, man!
Thanks for all your dedication to our sport 😉Big hug to all comunity from Sintra Lisboa Portugal 👌
Happy New Year guys! excited for my new zegama !
Been waiting all year for this 🎉
Great list this year, Ethan! I personally love my YunTuo winter beanie with built-in LED headlamp and rechargeable battery!
Gear of the year!! Kicked off with a blast 🎉
Thumbs up for the Janji Groundwork tights! The easiest tights to slip into, and also super comfortable, warm, and breathable. Love the pockets as well! For lounge wear I’d choose the Vuori Sunday performance joggers. I live and breath in those. Favorite trail shoe would be the Saucony Peregrine 12 in terms of price, weight, traction, and comfort.
My trail shoe of the year is easily the Saucony xodus ultra. So good on the sloppy UK wet trail, can run an ultra out of the box with no blisters they are that conformable and solid
Just got the waterproof version and have enjoying them in the slop!
I also thought the Xodus Ultra would have at least made a better honourable mention as opposed to the endorphin edge.
Comfy enough for a 100 miler?
What are these like on road?
@@SteveSpeirs yes made for long ultras
Always enjoy the Gear of the year video. Ethan, have you thought about doing a gear of the decade review....maybe place a teaser for the new movie in gear of the decade video. Happy Holidays.
Been using Injini for years now ever since I saw them on a Ginger video and love them.
Been waiting for this! So well put together. GR for the win!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I just purchased the Saucony ES3 for £98, first run yesterday 10k, fabulous shoes. A lot different to the ES2. Great choice.
My favourite yearly wrap up ! Some gear I will have to check out. On cloudstratus were my go too shoe this year and Salomon active skin 8 was a great addition to long runs.
I really like the On Running Zero jacket. It might be the lightest ever but hold the rain and cold pretty well.
A great nutrition item that I saw on CZcams Run4Adventure and now take with me on every long run is Luchos guava blocks. They taste great and if you buy the 10x box you get minimal plastic as each block is wrapped in a dry leaf so you can just scrunch it up and scatter it on the trail ❤
Fantastic video and props for speaking up about the difficulties you had this year! ❤
Which shoes are you most exited for in 2023?
The Nut Butter is an absolute game changer, thank you for the recommendation from a few years ago!
I enjoyed the stroop waffles from GU, used them for Spartathlon this year washed down with an iced coffee
Awesome job!
In the casual category, I put the NB Fresh Foam Arishi MarisD. Maybe it’s a Japan exclusive, but it’s a super comfortable and I think stylish sneaker. Actually thinking of grabbing a couple of extra pairs, that’s how much I like them: dark to light gray fade front to back, a heel covered with (fake?) cork, it’s elegantly casual. Oh, and the sides of the soles aren’t white, something I personally dislike in most casual shoes.
Been waiting for this!
Best summer shorts I’ve come across are the New Balance Q Speed 7” shorts.
Super light, perforated in the front(!) along with having 4 rear slots for gels and a separate zip pocket. Q Speed tops are also pretty good.
Swear by the CEP Short Socks and the Ultralight Short socks. Great at preventing blisters and the compression helps, if like me, you get big ‘ol swoll feet on your long runs.
I LOVE both of those trail shoes! If I were to compare them, I'd say the Zegamas are firmer but have a longer lifespan. I've put over 200 miles in them and anticipate running another 100+ miles before I retire them. The Mafate Speed 4's are super comfy out of the box and offer more cushion than the Zegamas but loose their stability before or at 200 miles. The Hoka Mafates have been my #1 shoe for years but the Speed 4's are a bit "gooey" for my taste.
Great reviews Ethan! No one does it as good as you!
I too love the Injinji Ultra Run socks but prefer to buy from Injinji directly (or my local running stores if they have them). Great socks for use any time although my little toe sometimes doesn't want to cooperate with its part of the sock. Great, comfy socks!!
A suggestion for another class (yeah, 1 more BUT I think its good for everyone) is 'Best Warmup/Recovery Item - for runners who are not injured but which could make your running more enjoyable' eg. roller, stretch bands.
We all should be warming up/down before & after our runs, and there are items which could help us stay healthy.
Rollga foam roller and the TRS supernova 2.0 are great rollers
Awesome list! Pretty sure rabbit and GU have a co-lab every year (January-Feb-ish) where if you buy a "waffle" item, you get some Stroopwaffles in your order. Cool idea!
+1 on the Zegamas...loving them (races, Rim to Rim to Rim, daily trainer) and surprisingly don't see them out and about too often...kind of tired of hearing about Hoka Speedgoats...
Love these. Headwear category is a must. (Said this last year)! Keep doing what you’re doing, Ethan! Happy new year!
I own 2 pure project running hats. Love them
Been loving Alter Ego running hats.
Got the Vectiv Eminuses (Emenii?} after your first review and love them. They also helped me rehab out of knee pain - for a while the only shoe that left me pain free! Awesome shoe and a total bargain.
All the best folks. This is now an integral part of Xmas. Excellent.
Thanks Pat! Happy New Year!
Definitely
Love the waffles, especially yhe honey stinger, but they are always destroyed when it’s time to eat them
I enjoy your videos! Can you please do a review of snow/ ice running shoes? Particularly La Sportiva Cyklon.
Thanks for the reviews, I always look forward to them. You dropping any running music albums on streaming services any time soon?
I’m glad the supersonic is getting love!
Would this work for aggressive dogs?
Couldn’t agree more with the trail and road shoe winners!
Yey, another gear of the year.
it abruptly turned to winter here to in the plains.., but I refuse to put my shorts away..so there is that
The best item is the one you have and use. I’ve been running in a decade-old Aeropostale zip up hoodie. Is it compressing or even flattering? No. But it keeps me warm. Warmer than my athletic zip hoodie. Also has pockets for my keys and cell. So…yeah.
Yes Danielle!!!!
Need to know where I can pick up that handy set up pliers you were toting in the Janji tights. I frequently need something substantial like those to fight off bear attacks. Became a huge fan of Rabbit gear this year. Looking forward to trying out all their new stuff. That On top might slip into my purchases in 2023 as well.
Great sharing 🎉 from Malaysia
Would love to see a category for best hat - so many options out there. Also, hope you get a chance to try some stuff from Path Projects - love their separation of liner and shorts.
Hats is included in accessories and I’ve featured Path many times! Love their stuff
Rabbit make excellent shorts. Their 5" quadtastic shorts are my go-to.
Great review. Have you tried Path Project apparel?
You need a new category: best adjustment wrench. All the best to you and Kim and your families in the new year!
I’ve been waiting on this and doing my best not to message to ask when it’s coming! Let’s go! 😂
It’s finally here!!
@@TheGingerRunner and I am grateful for it. Even more so because I got a great sale deal on the Saucony Endorphin Speed 3 yesterday. Can’t wait to get it on for my marathon training in the new year. Thank you you for all the content you put out. Love your work. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
favorite video of the year
This channel is great
TheGingerRunnre- yo- amazing ~
Janji rules so hard. The mercury track pants are a win as well if you can cop on sale.
On cloud monster shoe is my new favorite
Loved the Zegama, cant wait for the new Trail Shoe from Nike this year! (with carbon plate I heard?!)
me: excited to watch this despite running only a handful of times this year 😅
I love my Nike Trail Pegasus 4 running shoes as a hybrid between trail and road.
That Amphipod company has been making good hand-held water bottles for ultra runners for so so long. Great list as per usual Ethan! Well done 👏 And glad your ears are ok after that intro. 🙉
Yeah amphipod has been around as long as I can remember, just chuggin away making ultra runner bottles and more. Long overdue for some love!
Dang, I was like is there going to be a gear of the year this year.
let’s go.. might find something
Always love watching your videos! So stoked about the upcoming movie! I’m super curious about the DJI Mic. When you said you could record on the mics themselves. Does that mean you don’t need to use a receiver at the same time? How long of a recording is capable?
Correct. Receiver can get audio feed from mics directly to camera and mics can simultaneously record to themselves. 15hrs of audio!
Always a fan of your videos, thanks Ethan! I will say, featuring a wireless mic was a bit disappointing. That’s something that doesn’t really pertain to 99% of us who are watching. But definitely glad it worked for you! Happy new year, and keep the great content coming. 🙂
Oh for sure, and I acknowledge that! What gadget would you have added?
I definitely don’t have as much exposure to this kind of stuff as you and Kim do, so this isn’t exactly a new item, but my game changing gadget this year was the Ultraspire Lumen 600 3.0 waist light! Your review of it was actually what gave me the confidence to pull the trigger, and I’m soooo glad I did! Thank you for lighting up my night running!
I say this every Year... GEAR OF THE YEARRRRR
You picked that TNF shoe because, like me, you still, to this day, miss Pearl Izumi trail shoes.
Ugh. I DO miss them. Damn.
@@TheGingerRunner There is a rumor that TNF bought the old PI molds.
The Kahtoola microspikes and exospikes are must haves in icy climates. Here in Maine, the microspikes are on my top list!
Have you tried the Nanospikes? And how durable have they been?
Only the micro - and they are super durable.
Great list, Ethan, even if you didn't include Aplets and Cotlets! 🤣 And thanks for the reminder, I need to get myself an air horn to go with my new saw! 🪚📣
Hahaha, those damn aplets!
I couldn't resist mentioning them even if they're totally NONSPON. 😅
My sis from Yakima used to give me those aplets and cotlets every year.
what about best running socks? mobility tools?
Those quick close Hydraflasks failed me miserably. I tested them first but in a big race they leaked. Also, the bite valve popped off during the same race. Lost half of my water and tripped while trying to fix it (cut my hand really badly). I switched to the regular Hydrapak flasks/Amphipod bottles and have never looked back
Shoe of the year: Saucony Xodus!!
Bahaha,bears are really neat, bears have hairy feet, bears are huggable beasts!
North face trail shoe not linking up, got a new link?
Fantastic year-end review 👏🏻 Kinda shocked to see you include the Mach Supersonic. That seems more divisive to me than the Zegama-Mafate choice. The Supersonic was one of the worst shoes I ran in this year and has sat in my closet for most of the year. Found it too stiff, unresponsive, and the upper too constricting. Put me off Hoka for year really. As soon as the Endorphin 3 landed I never looked back at Hoka. My choice for shoe of the year too! I like the new categories a lot and getting your take on products we runners all use, but don’t often get mentioned in reviews (shout out to the bear air horn!). I’d like to see a “best why of the year, fingers crossed for next version” category next year. Like, you tried and wanted to love a shoe, but just couldn’t. I could see the Altra Mont Blanc landing in the top two (BOA and laced) of such a category this year. Thanks for keeping us informed and entertained in 2022. Looking forward to 2023!
That’s a good idea! Certainly went through a TON of products that bummed me out but showed some promise!
The Mach 5 has been absolutely stellar! Don't let the Supersonic put you off too much, pretty much everyone (including most Hoka fans) agree that it was kinda weird and very old-school (too stiff, very little comfort).
I'm not The ginger runner but I am a ginger runner. How about an added sunscreen category? Cheers!
Love saysky
Love the concept of the Hydrapak flask but is it compatible with any of the newer Salomon packs, like Adv skin 12 or Sense Pro 10? It looks too small for the Adv skin and wrong shape for Sense Pro. In any case, awesome video, I always look forward to these
They work just fine in my Salomon packs! 17oz is just like the stock Salomon flasks. The 20oz is a bit wider, but I still get it to fit.
@@TheGingerRunner great. Thanks! And keep up the awesome work 👏
I'm curious what your recommendation would be for running pants that would be warm(ish) in -20C (-4F) for 30min+ runs.
I feel like everything I own is too cold. Like obviously it's gonna be cold, but my thighs go numb in 20 mins and it's just not doable.
QQ: is the Vert hat an Otto trucker? It’s a little hard to tell from the picture. Thanks Ethan.
Nope!
What about Mountain Lions? Will that horn scare them off ?
No running jacket?
