Amanda starts the descent off Green Mountain in her UD Ultra Vesta, with views of the Indian Peaks and Continental Divide.
When Buzz Burrell became the Brand Manager at Ultimate Direction in early-2012, the brand was dead. No longer, much thanks to a brilliant product and marketing story: the Signature Series running vests. They’re now de facto mandatory equipment in the ultrarunning scene, and I see them regularly on Boulder’s foothills trails, too. Nice work, Buzz!
The original Signature Series were designed by men, and unsurprisingly were fit for men as well, despite supposed unisex sizing. So Buzz corralled a harem of female ultrarunners — including Amanda — to develop the Jenny Collection, which launched this spring. Amanda has been using her Ultra Vesta for months and posted a review yesterday on Ultimate Direction’s blog.

Hey Andy and Amanda. Thanks again for dinner last week. Great to catch up. Brandi is really psyched to get to know Amanda better. I had to get off the front range and get to the mountains, so I had no more time for a run around Boulder.
Good review of the Jenny vest on the UD Blog this week by Amanda. Brandi wants one now.
Every mountain runner should own a UD pack for long days and either of these for shorter days:
Men- Jurek Essential waistpack + Grip bottle
Women- Meow waistpack + Grip bottle
Keep in touch.

Hi Andrew, guess I found this post too late for the offer, but suspect its USA only. Do you know if UD have any distribution in the UK? I’ll drop them a note too. Thanks Jenny
I would write them. I can’t imagine they don’t have UK distribution.
