What runners check before they trust the shell

Runners land here when they need one shell to cover sloppy trailheads, exposed ridgelines, and the kind of cold rain that usually soaks through a lighter layer.

From here, most people either head back to the trail-shoe range to finish the kit or open the layering guide to figure out what belongs underneath.
