KIT THAT SURVIVED UTS 100M

165 kilometres. 9,600 metres of climbing. Rocky slate trails, knee-deep peat bogs, sub-zero wind chill on Snowdon at 1am in a hailstorm. This is UTS 100M 2026 — one of the hardest 100-mile mountain ultras in the UK. 280 runners started. 112 finished. Out here your kit doesn't get tested. It gets tortured. In this video I break down exactly what I wore across 46 hours and 59 minutes of Welsh mountain — what passed, what nearly failed, what I'd change and what I'm testing before my next winter race. No showroom reviews. No Sunday morning opinions. Just the honest truth from 165 kilometres of evidence. If you're preparing for UTS, Arc 100M, or any serious mountain ultra — watch this before you finalise your kit list.
