I wouldn’t mind reviewing the Sole DK’s or the Sole Ultra Softec’s (size 10 shoe, but size F SuperFeet fit my heel the best). As for the freebies, how about the MH mesh hat?
Ooh, the LED light would be cool to review.
And I’d love the Mountain Hardware hat!!!
If only I could review the Moeben sleeves with Zebra stripes. Maybe it would bring out my inner Zebra (which maybe means I would be fast or else eaten by a Lion!).

I’d be in for the LED light! It’s so flipping dark where I am running right now. I’d also like to try the sleeves.
And freebies are always fun :)
I’d be all over the Moeben’s like white on rice…it’s mighty cold here in the windy city. Brrrr.
Count me in for moeben sleeve, columbia socks or mountain hardware hat.
Would like to review the LED light. I just registered for 2009 TRR and read all your entries…very helpful, thanks!
If you’re interested in a non-ultrarunner’s review, I’d be interested in trying some insoles (i’d have to read more about them to figure out which one would be best for me) and I could use a long-sleeve tech shirt this winter if you have any…
I will happily review the sleeves. I’ll take a t-shirt if you are giving them away.
Wow, I’d love to review the Nathan light. And the Polar or MH hat would be great too. Since it never really get cold in NC the MH hat would probably be great for this time of year.

Goat,
I’m in for the Montrail Enduro Soles and the Superfeet, as well as the Moeben sleeves.
Hope to see you out on the trails soon!
I’d love to review any of the soles available. Size 11.
Love to get a random t-shirt as well.
I’d be interested in testing any of the insoles too (size 9 shoe). I’ve been trying to ween myself off the prescription orthotics, but I’m not too keen on the generic footbeds that come standard.

I would like to try the Montrail Enduro sole size 9, and any of the giveaways would be awesome. Thanks
if there is anything left to review i’d like a shot…
I would love to review the Sole Slim Sport insoles (or Karnazes Signature Editon insoles) or Moeben sleeves! and..I became a fan on Facebook. ;)
Goat! My wife and child would love it if I could review the Nite Ize vest – all my early morning running makes them nervous!
-sparky
I’d review the SOLE Slim sports. I think they’d be a great addition to my Roclite 320′s or maybe my Fireblades.
And to add to that… how about a size 9?
thanks for your consideration :)
Well twist MY arm…the Body Bottle and Nite Ize LED Sports Vest would be great to review as well :)
Please put me in the draw for a review of the Moeben Sleeves – it’s getting cold in the mountains!
Cheers,
Nick

oo oo oo medium arm sleeves!!!!!!
I’d like to review the lights and vest… That will give me a reason to get my lazy bum out of bed in the morning! Also, I’m always up for free gear. :)
I’m up for reviewing any or all of these products:
Body Bottle
Nite Ize Marker Band
Nite Ize LED Sports Vest
Nathan Magnetic L.E.D. Safety Light
Thanks!
I would gladly review the body bottle or either of the Night Ize products. Now that winter is here I do 70% of my running in the dark, the Night Ize may just save my life!
I’m interested in the Moeben sleeves as well as the body bottle
I would enjoy trying the sleeves or the light vest and/or armband. I run at 5am and ANYTHING that would help me NOT get run over would be greatly appreciated! Thanks and see you in Black Mountain!
Albie
I’d like to try the Dean Karnazes sole in size 8.
Also, the Columbia socks sound great, too.
Thanks!
The Zebra sleeves would be awesome! Any med/sm tech shirts would be greatly appreciated.
It all looks great to me – how about you pick. Thanks!
