    Spandex Shorts | 
    These are the cheep type, not the heavier
      bike style. They prevent chaffing of the thighs and don't freak people out
      like walking around in your underwear. |

    Nike Running Shoes | 
    Something new I'm trying. Don't do this 
    unless you have a low pack weight and good ankles. Running shoes have many 
    advantages over boots, and I no longer need camp shoes. |

    Nike Cool Hat | 
    Hat using coolmax and a design to help
      improve cooling. It also helps to keep water out of your eyes in the rain 
    when used with your rain hood, and it keeps the sun out of your eyes when 
    you are in the sun. |
