Shoes
Get the right shoes for a particular kind of trail running. Be conscious of the tread in the shoes. Be mindful of how the shoes fit. If they are too tight, then don’t wear them. Wear running shoes that will not be tight, heavy, or slippery.
Socks

Shorts
Shorts can come in any design and size. However, the more technical and freer moving the better. So, it is better to experiment and shop for shorts that combine comfortability with durability.
Tops
The choice of what top to wear for a run depends on the weather. Tops could be short sleeves, long, technical, skin-tight, loose-fitting, and so on. Try and discover the best suited for you.
Hydration packs
A good hydration pack means one’s choice of drink can be readily available when needed. Packs are personal items, so it pays to get the right fit. Also, consider the amount of gear to be carried around for a while and try different fits. Find what works and start training with it.
