Why does the equipment make the difference?

In trail running, your equipment is not an accessory. It's what allows you to finish. Poles that give out at the 80th kilometer. A lamp that goes out at midnight deep in the forest. Nutrition that upsets your stomach: a single weak link, and it's abandonment.

For over 25 years, we have tested our equipment in the most extreme conditions: UTMB, Marathon des Sables, Tor des Géants. Trail running forgives nothing. Neither does your equipment.

The 4 criteria that make the difference

Lightness

Designed to go far without compromising reliability, our equipment prioritizes technical and durable materials to offer lightness, strength, and efficiency in the mountains.

Reliability

In trail and ultra running, every detail counts. Thanks to our partnership with MX3 Nutrition, we offer a nutritional range formulated with experts to meet all needs, even for the most demanding formats.

Autonomy

Designed to last, our equipment ensures comfort and performance over time. The Ultralight 1200-lumen headlamp, with up to 30 hours of battery life, reliably supports nighttime efforts and long distances.

Versatility

Because every outing is different, we develop multiple hydration solutions: water bottles, flasks, bottles, hydration bladders, and cups, suitable for both short outings and long adventures.

What nutrition for an 8-hour trail?

Folding or telescopic poles?

For trail and ultra-trail running, folding poles are generally the most suitable. They are lighter, more compact once stored, and unfold very quickly, allowing you to use them only when the terrain demands it. Models like the Z Carbon Strap, starting at 200 g, are designed to support the effort without hindering progress.

Telescopic poles may be suitable for hiking or trekking, but in running, the simplicity, quick handling, and weight savings of folding poles clearly make the difference.

How many lumens for a night ultra?

For a night ultra-trail, lighting between 300 and 600 lumens allows for clear and reassuring vision on most terrains. On technical or challenging sections, having a higher power, up to 1,000 lumens, provides better anticipation and a longer view of the ground, without being used continuously.

A lamp like the ULTRALIGHT 1200 meets these requirements by offering a maximum power suited to complex situations, while providing intermediate modes that preserve battery life and visual comfort over time.

Are gauntlets really better than wrist straps?

Yes, gauntlets provide a more direct and effective power transfer than traditional wrist straps. They allow for better support during the push, while reducing hand and forearm fatigue over time.

In practice, comfort is greater on long outings, provided you allow for an adjustment period of two to three outings for the movement to become natural. This feedback is confirmed by field testers and regular users.

What nutrition for an 8-hour trail?

For a trail run of about eight hours, a well-planned feeding strategy is essential. The Pack Trail Medium is designed to meet energy needs over a period of seven to nine hours, providing about 2,074 kcal and 435 g of carbohydrates.

Depending on the race profile and the availability of refreshment points, this pack can be supplemented with food offered along the route, to adjust intake according to the effort and conditions.

Can the lamp be recharged during the race?

Yes, Raidlight lamps are designed to meet the demands of ultra-distance running. Charging can be done during the run thanks to a magnetic USB system, allowing you to connect an external battery without stopping your effort.

It is also possible to change the battery in about ten seconds, as a second battery is provided, ensuring continuous lighting even on the longest courses.
