AUTUMN BRINGS WITH IT COOLER TEMPERATURES, WETTER WEATHER, LESS DAYLIGHT. There might be more reason to carry gear and protect it than in the summer. 10 ITEMS, featured in a Competitor.com slideshow article, are designed to help you carry ‘stuff’. Included are: a performance t-shirt with several zippered pockets, waist-pack that comes with a soft flask, running shorts with multiple pockets, packable jacket with pockets, ‘strappy’ bra with a front pocket, short running skort with side and back pockets.
Clothes with sufficient stowing capacity are much-prized apparel. Sometimes additional carry space is needed. The slideshow includes gear that offers more ingenious ways to address this issue. I would like to try each: -Ultimate Direction Fastdraw 600 hand-carry water bottle with a small ’backpack’ on it to carry a good-sized phone and a few other small items. -Oiselle Roga Hat with a small, head-hugging zippered compartment -UnderFuse Plus iron-on small pocket, recommended for the front of tights or compression shorts or tights. -Armband by Sprigs that stretches to accommodate a phone of any size! The item I am most interested in trying (it is ordered) is the Amphipod Xinglet Pocket Plus that helps runners position a phone in front, mid-chest, to use the flashlight or video function via a clear window in a protective pocket. This also seems like an ideal place to simply carry a phone for easy access. The image shown in the article pictures the gray/silver version. There is also a neon green “hi-viz” color. BOTH color models have a good amount of brilliant, highly reflective material on the adjustable straps, a BONUS SAFETY feature. If this product performs as advertised, it seems like a real winner for fall running/walking in low light conditions! See it BELOW, and on the GEAR LOVE page, as well as the Sprigs armband.

BRIDGE TO PHYSICAL SELF
Running, walking, and fitness activities enable us to experience our physical selves in a world mostly accessed through use of fingers on a mobile device. 
Finished my first 50K challenge, a virtual but real effort April 6, 2021. Qualifies me as an ultra-marathoner! All rights reserved.
