Tops-wise the best base layer I have ever had is a £9 Aldi l/s compression top. Supremely comfortable, remarkably windproof and warm when wet. Perfect. I now only wear it for long ultras as I'm scared of wearing it out!

They were just brilliant coming down. And I thought they were comfortable even on the track/road back to glenridding. I did only wear them for 2 hrs though

Not an in depth review of each shoe, just a one para summary, may be useful in narrowing things down a bit ? Do you have Trail Running issue 14, if not I can scan the pages and email to you ?
