#211: Zach Miller, Amanda Basham, and Picking the Right Gear (plus special guest, BUFF®!)

We’re excited to bring you something a bit different this week on The BibRave Podcast! In partnership with our friends at BUFF® - makers of the amazing multi-function headwear and long-time BibRave partner brand - we’ve got a two-part show for you. This week’s episode is sponsored by BUFF® and their Pack Run Cap Collection that’s super lightweight, flexible, and packable for your summer running adventure. BUFF® has also created masks for all-day active use to stay safe and active!

They talk about running gear and what Zach and Amanda look for in running equipment - especially for ultras when having the right gear is particularly important. They also talk about what Zach and Amanda look for in brand partners and sponsorships, which was super cool to hear.   The second part is Tim’s conversation with Media Marketing Manager at BUFF®, Casey Rolig! They talk about the moment BUFF® is having right now due to COVID-19 and face coverings being required in most places, plus some really cool product development issues focused on sustainability. Then Tim asks Casey what he looks for in BUFF® sponsored athletes.  It’s your LAST CHANCE vote for your favorite distance races from the last decade for The BibRave 100!
