One moment it’s glorious golden sunshine, the next it’s grey and raining – in autumn you need to be prepared for all conditions on your adventures. The ever-changing weather can make it tricky to choose the right clothes. If you start in mild temperatures in the valley, the icy wind may already be whistling at the summit. And, let’s face it, you’re likely to work up a sweat on the ascent. There's one thing that’s guaranteed to help: the tried-and-tested layering system. To make sure you're well-equipped, adidas TERREX has created our Adventure Wardrobe just in time for the colder months. This way, you’re perfectly equipped for rapid weather changes and can enjoy the great outdoors in all conditions.
When you’re trail running, it’s especially important to travel light on the trails. As you climb into the hills, your heart rate speeds up, your breath quickens, your body heats up and you feel the fresh, cool air in your lungs. When you reach the top, you take a deep, satisfying breath – but before long you’ll be pleased you packed that extra layer. Luckily, the Adventure Wardrobe tops are designed especially for outdoor sports, so you won't have to carry a heavy load.
The adidas Adventure Wardrobe offers complete comfort, built up in four layers. The base layer keeps you dry thanks to the use of merino wool, which absorbs moisture and feels pleasant on the skin. The middle layer boasts fleece inserts, which keep you warm but are also breathable. When it gets even colder, the insulation layer comes to the rescue: made from PrimaLoft synthetic fibre, this clothing is particularly light and warm, even when wet. If it gets really cold, then add an outer layer to protect you from rain and wind. The great thing about the layering system is that if you get too warm, the individual layers can be quickly taken off – and put back on again. Our tops and jackets are designed to be light and convenient and therefore your ideal outdoor companions. So, you're ready for any adventure – whatever your summit, you're good to go.
You can climb plenty of summits while trail running in Italy. From the well-known heights of the Mont Blanc, the Three Peaks of Lavaredo, or the Gran Paradiso, to the lesser-known peaks of the Apuan Alps, Majella or across the Pollino, every run will be an incredible experience. The 14 routes in this Collection showcase the variety of trail running in Italy. The Island of Elba and the Cimone region may have less altitude gain, but their magical settings will amaze and inspire you. The Italian islands are full of spectacular trails to discover. Irrespective of the distance travelled or the elevation climbed, trail running is the perfect way to explore Italy at your own pace, and sample the pleasures of each region. These Tours will give you an adrenaline rush whatever the time of year.
