Expert Gear Picks from Katie Bernasek
Expert outdoor recreation gear recommendations from Katie Bernasek, Marketer, Outdoor Enthusiast, Dog Mom, based in Jackson, WY.
Katie Bernasek's Fuel
Katie Bernasek recommends the Maurten Gel — Fuel that doesn’t fight you—that’s why I stick with Maurten. No syrupy sweetness, just a clean, neutral gel that goes down easy at pace. The hydrogel tech keeps my stomach calm while delivering steady carbs right when I need them.
Katie Bernasek recommends the ultimareplenisher Best Sellers — Clean, zero sugar hydration with all the essentials to keep me steady on long efforts. No spikes, no crashes—just consistent performance.
Katie Bernasek recommends the Bobo's Lemon Poppyseed Oatmeal Bar — My go-to when I need something more than a gel. With real oats and a hit of lemon, these are easy on the stomach, provide steady energy, and perfect when the effort requires it.
Katie Bernasek's Hiking
Katie Bernasek recommends the New Balance Fresh Foam X Hierro v9 — This is my go-to when the run leaves the pavement. Plush cushioning meets real stability, so you get softness underfoot without losing control on uneven ground.
Katie Bernasek's Running
Katie Bernasek recommends the New Balance Fresh Foam 1080v15 — <p data-start="0" data-end="114" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Comfort is the name of the game with these. This is my go-to for long runs and recovery days. Soft, cushioned, and consistent—no distractions, no hotspots, just smooth miles from start to finish.</p>
