Buy Hoka Combo XT/Stinson B FREE Shipping

Hoka OneOne Stinson B is ready to roll,  it’s time to fly!

Hoka OneOne’s are an opposite take on the whole minimalist running philosophy as they use an oversized 2.5″ midsole that gives you more shock absorption than any other shoe out there. The wide base gives you plenty of stability and that allows you to fly down the trail. The newest addition to the Hoka line is the Combo XT (also known as the Stinson B) which is a hybrid trail and road shoe ready for anything you throw at it. It has a combo tread pattern that gives you plenty of grip on the trail while not being too aggressive for running on the road.

    Hoka Trail Shoes live at Mountains Plus

    The Hoka’s are live at Mountains Plus Outdoor Gear, Buy NOW!

    As new Affiliate Manager for Mountains Plus Outdoor Gear it was a no brainier to market the mighty Hoka’s . Karl Meltzer convinced me to try these shoes in April and “WOW” is all I can say!  My first thought is these are the fat skis of trail shoes, the sole dimension’s are etched on the side of the shoe 120/100/105 just like skis. The stability Hoka’s provide you through rugged terrain is unbelievable and the rolled up sole design really improves the efficiency of your stride. Don’t be surprised if you feel some tired muscles after your first few trail runs, these shoes can slightly improve your stride and wake up specific muscles. Hoka’s should pay off the last 30 miles of those 100’s, less tired legs and better downhills for all!

    This design allows for fluid and natural stride transitions, lessening the movement of the knee by as much as 20%, increasing efficiency. By using an EVA 30% softer and increasing its total volume to 2.5 times that of a typical trail running shoe, we allow for more cushioning than any other shoe on the market today, dissipating up to 80% of the shock.

    At 320 grams a pair,

    The GoLite Drimove Lite Single Shirt is the most comfortable and coolest shirt I have ever run in the material is so lite it wickers sweat and dry almost instantly! In fact the Wasatch Speed Goat Mountain Racing Team gets their goat skin form GoLite, they sponsor the 25 person trail team founded by Masters Ultrarunner Scott Mason.

    Bighorn 100 – 2009

    Besides the nice fit and super light material the shirt is cut to leave you a long fit to hang so your running belt  doesn’t ride up under your Nathan running pack. Nice job GoLite – 10 scrapes!

    The Marmot Approach Soft Shell is the perfect winter running coat, just warm enough to wear in the cold and really cold, all you need is a good layer underneath and it will work in any temperature range. The Marmot Approach has a longer cut  in the back to keep the wind and snow out along with a elastic waist tightener to snug up the fit. What’s nice the coat has enough room underneath and won’t restrict your movement when running.
