Eve Hartman

Top: “I really love the Athleta Ready to Run top.”
Sportsbra: “I use a Champion sports bra because it gives you a little more shape.”

Mike Wolfert
(The Cliffs at Valhalla)
Top: “I like Granit Life. It’s an obscure company, but they make great tees and tanks.”
Bottom: Verve Climbing’s Belikos pants. “Their flexibility and breathe-ability are amazing, and they’re really good for yoga, climbing, martial arts, and anything where you need full-range movement.”
Footwear: “I like the trail running shoes by Five Ten. They have a rubber that is stickier, and it works on rock and slick surfaces. You have to get used to running in them, though, because most people aren’t used to the shoes stopping after each step.”
Socks: “We don’t wear socks for climbing.”

Top: “I love Lululemon and Nike. Anything as long as it’s Dri-FIT material.”
Sportsbra: “Lululemon is great.”
Bottom: “I’m partial to Nike. As far as style, it really depends on what activity I’m doing.”
Footwear: “I like Mizuno running sneakers because they fit my foot really well.”
Socks: “I tend to wear anything that is similar to the Dri-FIT material—usually Nike.”
