SHAPE SHIFTERS

On Cloudmonster

These pavement-optimized kicks from the Swiss running gear brand On look ungainly, but they're light and nimble shoes made for runners who need more padding than most models provide. The midsole is thick, with squishy cushioning, and the hollow loops that form the tread pull double duty, adding a burst of springiness while absorbing the injury-causing shocks of each footfall. On longer runs, all that billowy buttressing will make you want to go farther and faster than last time. $170

Coros Apex 2

Smartwatch makers are flooding the zone with more options for hardcore outdoor adventurers, and the rugged Apex 2 is one of our top picks. It connects to all five major GPS satellite systems and can track your location for 45 hours per charge. With GPS off, the battery lasts a full month-wear it all the time and let the LED-powered heartrate monitor track your sleep along with your workouts. The onboard tools include elevation trackers, GPS checkpoints, and a sunlight tracker to help you reach your destination before dark. It'll even remind you to eat lunch. A stout design and a scratch-resistant coating make it the best wearable for rough-and-tumble activities like bouldering. $400

Skida Throwback Headband

Every serious runner should have a good headband. Even if you don't have flowing Robert Plant locks to hold away from your face, a snugly fitting band keeps the sweat off your brow and the sting out of your eyes on the back half of a 10K. Skida's headbands are made in Vermont from fabric that weds soft and sop-ready jersey with Spandex, giving each band enough stretch to stay put if you have a lot of hair or need to pull it down over your ears to temper a dawn chill. They come in a staggering array of cute patterns and colors to suit any style. $18
