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.

WOW ! THANK YOU ! For the awesome information on the running gear.

I love this video every year. To hear there is also another GR movie coming out is so exciting. Keep up the great work

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

Finally ❤ Bin waiting for it before Christmas 🎄

I too love the Saucony Endorphin Speed.

The Janji Groundwork tights and half tights are amazing. So many thoughtful touches! P.S. I’m sure Kim just loves your modeling poses! 😂😂😂

Always look forward to this vid thank you!

You need a favorite Running-related book category

Definitely the Naked Running Belt. Golden 👌🏼

Great list, always worth waiting for...excited to see what gear/shoes you will be reviewing next...best wishes

Gear of the year!! Kicked off with a blast 🎉

Happy New year!!!

Great work as always. !!!

Thanks for this! Well done!

Been waiting all year for this 🎉

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 this year, Ethan! I personally love my YunTuo winter beanie with built-in LED headlamp and rechargeable battery!

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.

I just purchased the Saucony ES3 for £98, first run yesterday 10k, fabulous shoes. A lot different to the ES2. Great choice.

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 !

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

Mental health is super important!

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.

Been using Injini for years now ever since I saw them on a Ginger video and love them.

A great nutrition item that I saw on KZread 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 ❤

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.

Yes Danielle!!!!

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 really like the On Running Zero jacket. It might be the lightest ever but hold the rain and cold pretty well.

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

The Nut Butter is an absolute game changer, thank you for the recommendation from a few years ago!

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!

Yey, another gear of the year.

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 enjoyed the stroop waffles from GU, used them for Spartathlon this year washed down with an iced coffee

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!!

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.

Fantastic video and props for speaking up about the difficulties you had this year! ❤ Which shoes are you most exited for in 2023?

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.

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.

Thanks for the reviews, I always look forward to them. You dropping any running music albums on streaming services any time soon?

All the best folks. This is now an integral part of Xmas. Excellent.

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.

what about best running socks? mobility tools?

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!
