Gordon Walker NZ Adventure Racing and Multisport champion uses Lafuma Skyrace shoes

The Lafuma Skyrace trail running shoe is ideal for those runs where your regular shoe is either too slippy, not tough enough or unstable in the rugged conditions. 

I generally like my trail shoes to be as close to a running shoe in comfort, biomechanics and performance as possible.  The Skyrace gets pretty close and I found the triple density Phylon midsole surprisingly comfortable on long runs.  The Vibram outsole is super hard wearing and ideally suitaed to muddy tracks, tree roots and also hardpack.  They hold their own on rocky terrain and with the low profile sole ankle stability is very good.  I found the lace system excellent. 

Often when a shoe becomes wet they get sloppy so being able to quickly tighten them with the twin lace pull system is great.  The reinforced toe box is also good, especially in river beds and tree rooted tracks where stubbed toes can be very painful.

Chill Factor Zero

Sharkskin is a revolutionary technical water sports garment suitable for many different active water sports. Sharkskin garments come in a large range of both sizes and styles providing the equivalent warmth of a 2.5 – 3mm neoprene wetsuit.

Even on a warm day wind chill can quickly cool you down. Unlike conventional wetsuits, the windproof membrane in Sharkskin acts not only  to keep the wind out, but also breathes to reduce overheating. The inner layer maintains warmth and also wicks away moisture for added comfort.

 

Sharkskin’s 4-way stretch material combined with a carefully designed multi-panel cut for both men and women provides a superior body hugging, comfortable, non-restrictive fit along with easy donning and doffing. Sharkskin is also odour and itch resistant, non chaffing, has outstanding sun protection (UPF 30+), is abrasion resistant, mildew resistant, lightweight and dries much faster than neoprene.

Sharkskin is the product of choice for water sports enthusiasts who enjoy their sport all-year-round ….. Regardless of the forecast!
