Jessica, Meru and her Singletrack - Share and Save

August 25, 2010Jessica, Meru and her Singletrack – Share and Save

The Share and Save Series is pleased to present

Jessica, Meru and her Singletrack.

I am the owner of Energy Outdoors, an outdoor fitness company in the Laurentians. We are sports training specialists. I am passionate about the outdoors, fitness and teaching.

I play outdoors all day long – all temperatures – all year long. To me, there is no bad weather… you just need to have the right clothes for all temperatures.

I was pleased to get the chance to critique some gear and apparel from Altitude-Sports.com.

The North Face Women’s Meru Paclite Jacket – Jacuzzi blue

Finally a raincoat that is perfect for me! I can now teach two rainy fitness classes in a row without having to change my base layer… because I stay dry! The coat is light, breathable and flashy. I love the chest vents; they are easy to use, especially while in action. The coat is also easy to store in a backpack and does not take up very much room.

The only downside to the jacket would be that there are no hand pockets, only a chest pocket. Due to the impermeable qualities of the jacket… you will sweat a lot on a hot rainy day!

But hey… it’s like a free sauna!

Altogether a great raincoat, I would highly recommend it.

Trail running shoes – The North Face Women’s Single-Track

I have been running with my North Face Single-Track shoes for over a month. It is a great trail running shoe. It is lightweight, breathable and provides good support.

The Snakeplate in the sole adds stability to the shoe, it provide excellent lateral support on uneven terrain. The shoe has a great energy; I have a lot of fun off trail and have confidence in its support. And for the girls who like everything to match… like me… it is a very attractive shoe.
