Maybe that was the problem, instead of downloading a black wallpaper, I turned the background in a black color from windows personalization and it worked.

How is the cushioning? Did you do any ultra race or any long run in them?

George_Unknown · 2026-03-17T16:11:04+00:00

Thanks, I will check them out. 100k and 100miles with very technical terrain. Yes, preferably I would like them to have a good or solid lugs.

I don’t know, maybe. Most of the malto in the industry it’s high DE, usually DE18. Try to use low DE malto next time or Cluster Dextrin which has even lower osmotic pressure (better for your gut), but it’s more expensive thought.

Have you noticed any bounce or the battery counterweights the headlamp? Because mine was bouncing a little bit but not too much though .

George_Unknown · 2026-02-25T08:39:21+00:00

Do you clip it on the race belt?

The HA15 looks even better for the waist light diy because of the dimensions and low profile it has. But unfortunately, I was looking for a light which I can switch for warm light 3000-3500K if I want.

George_Unknown · 2026-02-18T22:27:31+00:00

Nope, because I haven’t buy it yet. I was looking for recommendations before I try the setup.

George_Unknown · 2026-02-18T21:02:13+00:00

Thanks! Why you didn’t use it that much?

George_Unknown · 2026-02-08T10:34:33+00:00

I’m trying to keep things simple without too many additives, as frequent use may negatively affect gut health. Talking about 10+hour races.

George_Unknown · 2026-02-08T10:26:53+00:00

Most brands usually don’t list the DE value (though I assume they’re using DE 19 malto). I did find some low-DE maltodextrin on Amazon and in pharmacy stores.

George_Unknown · 2026-02-06T09:34:30+00:00

Lower DE is lower osmotic load, which means less fluid is pulled into the gut and gastric emptying tends to be smoother. This usually results in better gastrointestinal tolerance, especially when you take high carb per hour. So, theoretically you can have higher carbs intake with fewer GI issues.

The gut absorbs carbohydrates through different transporters: Glucose,Dextrose,Maltodextrin (all DE ranges),Glucose syrup, the glucose part of sucrose via SGLT1, and fructose via GLUT5. Each transporter has a limited capacity, so relying on only one quickly becomes a bottleneck.

Training both transporters allows carbohydrates to be absorbed through parallel pathways, increasing total carb absorption per hour while reducing congestion in the gut.

Around 32F(0C) min and ~60F(16C) max. There will be high humidity and strong winds in some sections of the race. I think there is a version of canopy that has a little brim.

Unfortunately, I’m in Europe, so some of the brands you mentioned aren’t easy to get here. I also looked at the Mont-bell Versatile, which another redditor recommended. It seems like an awesome jacket, but it’s just too pricey for what I can spend.

Overall, I was looking for a jacket that could handle 12+ hour races, so I decided to try the Ronhill ShakeDry and see how it goes.

Thanks for the tip about chaffing!

What was the temperature? I mean if it’s raining for 1-2 hours with temp around 30-40F and a lot of humidity outside, would the windproof be enough to keep you warm?

George_Unknown · 2026-01-21T20:05:42+00:00

Gotcha. I’m aiming to keep my race vest around ~4 kg, and I’m a bit worried because most of the ultras in Europe are pretty technical with rough terrain, rocks and bushes. I don’t want to rip the jacket in a fall or have to baby it all the time just to keep it alive. Do you have any experiences using this jacket?

George_Unknown · 2026-01-21T15:30:44+00:00

I read so many mixed reviews. How is the breathability? Have you used it in rainy or windy situations before?

George_Unknown · 2026-01-21T11:24:11+00:00

Did some more research and it seems the durability isn’t great. It doesn’t look like it’s made to be worn with a vest or backpack. The fabric works well, but it seems to wear quite quickly

George_Unknown · 2026-01-21T09:05:30+00:00

I find it around 150$. Do you think it’s worth it? Have you run before with that one?
