Adventure Racing & Putting On The Best Gear

By Robert Sutter


Looking your best may be important in some fields but I think that functionality should be taken into consideration when it comes to adventure racing more than anything else. You want to wear clothing that will prove to be the best as you go about various physical efforts. That being said, what are some of the most important points to consider about this level of racing, you may wonder? You may find that these particular clothing options will help you to make the most of any race.

Form-fitting types of clothing are going to be needed if you want to make the most out of this level of racing. You never want to wear clothes that are loose, to an extent, since there is a good chance that you will hit a snag whether in the form of barbed wire or what have you. I've seen a number of individuals in adventure racing who have been slowed down because of this. Choose your clothing accordingly before you get involved in certain types of events, Spartan Race included.

For those of you who are curious about shoe options, the idea of the perfect fit is going to have to be seen here. However, you want to choose ones that you are okay with getting dirtied since there will be a couple of different terrain types to move along. It goes without saying that you are not going to look one-hundred percent clean in this regard. If you are not afraid with one pair of shoes taking a beating, make sure that they are used.

While talking about shoes in general, you want to be able to select the ones that are the most fitting for you. There are a couple to take into consideration but the ones that you can tie the tightest will be the ones that you should go with in the long term. If you are able to tie them like this, you will not only move better but you will find that the mud won't take them as easily if you traverse through it. After seeing many runners lose their shoes to the mud, this point should not be disregarded.

With these points in mind, hopefully your clothing choices for adventure racing are selected well. These are just a couple of examples and tips to consider but, in my eyes, they are some of the most important that one can imagine. You want to perform while wearing clothing that isn't going to be entirely loose on you. Making sure that everything remains fitting is what will make the difference between a win and a loss on the field, so do not overlook the importance of attire.
