Wristbands and gloves

Conditions can change very quickly in trail running, especially in the mountains: cold wind, sudden rain, high-altitude passages… Arm warmers let you quickly adjust your protection without having to take off your pack or change your outfit. They are ideal for chilly starts, long descents, or ultra-distance runs.
Gloves, on the other hand, are essential in cold weather or winter. They protect your hands from wind, cold, and even snow, while ensuring good skillfulness to use poles, handle a flask, or adjust your gear.

The arm warmers are more adaptable: you can put them on or take them off while running, depending on weather changes or your level of effort. They also help reduce weight and adjust your gear in real time, which is valuable in ultra-distance running.
A jacket or a long-sleeved top offers more constant protection but requires a stop or a longer handling time. The ideal is often to combine a t-shirt + arm warmers, to stay light and responsive to the conditions.
