Stroller Warriors HQ Holiday Gift Guide

​It’s the most wonderful time of the year— children are creating and mailing their Christmas and holiday wish-lists (this year, my wish-list includes a pair of Altra trail running sneakers), and the Stroller Warriors® community is in the middle of a virtual running holiday scavenger hunt.  Oftentimes, non-running family and friends scramble to find a fitting and useful gift for their avid running loved ones! Race entries are always a fun choice, but it can be hard to choose useful and dynamic running gear!  Below is a list of items put together from the Stroller Warriors HQ team—from headlamps to cookbooks— these items can be a recipe for a lovely weekend morning run (I’m envisioning a pre-sunrise trail run with a headlamp and walking into the house to a quick and easy hot breakfast). 
 
Night-time running gear
-Nitecore HC60 Head lamp
-Nox light up vest
-Nike reflective running vest
-Camelback Chase bike vest 

Nitecore headlamp is light weight, does not bounce and has a great battery life. The head strap is worn around and on top of your head.

Nox gear vest has a blink function and the color of the light can be changed. There is a light pack on the back for extra visability

Patagonia Synchilla fleece is great for before, during and after cold runs! Also a favorite to be worn while hiking and out and about!
