#montane #Delamere half marathon (although it’s a little too short) completed. 20k PR which I’m really pleased with.

Talking lightweight gaiters. I wore my Montane gaiters on tough mountain trips until they got holes. (It looks like the model I have is discontinued).

Then I managed to get some Dirty Girl gaiters based on good reviews. I love the feel and quality.

For the FRC though, I am going blind. I ordered a pair from South African brand AR Gaiters, which I'll pick up upon arrival.

None of these gaiters are waterproof, but I prefer the lightweight nature as opposed to waterproof as I am not walking in rain-soaked places like the UK.

All of f them use the approach of having a bit of velcro at the back of the shoe. From experience I say is not to rely on the glue of the velcro - use a stronger glue and let it dry before using the gaiters.

Onwards... in a couple of months I'll post my impression of the AR Gaiters.

Vermont researchers have developed a #MachineLearning model to improve the National #Water Model's #streamflow predictions in mountainous areas, setting a precedent for nationwide application in similar terrains.

I'm using #Montane Terra pants in spring/autumn, but it's too chilly approaching winter, once below 10deg C. I feel cold plastic when it touches my knees even via base layer...

Should I get warmer hiking pants or just use better/more base layers?

I like Terra pants as they are hydrophobic (can walk across long grasses with dew), stops wind and has regulated ventilation.

No waterproofing needed, as I bring poncho.

Any recomendations..?
