About EVENT/READY
A kit finder for people getting ready for a run, ride, swim, race or long day in the hills.
What it is
EVENT/READY helps you choose equipment for road running, trail running, HYROX and hybrid training, triathlon, cycling, open-water swimming, ultrarunning and hiking. You answer a few questions about your sport, your experience, what matters to you and your budget. We then recommend the best model for you plus two strong alternatives, with the reasons, the trade-offs and what to check before you buy.
It's built for people who want a sensible starting point without reading twenty reviews: first-time triathletes, runners stepping up to a marathon, walkers heading into the hills for the first time.
How we choose
Every product we recommend has a UK retailer page that we have opened and checked. Your budget counts: we recommend the best product it allows, and only favour cheaper options if you tell us value for money matters most. We only recommend products that have been tested and rated highly by independent publications, such as lab tests, magazine group tests and crash-test ratings, and the best-rated rank highest. We don't reproduce anyone's reviews on this site, and we never invent test results. Every answer gives you three options: our best choice and two strong alternatives.
A questionnaire can't feel your feet or know your local trails, so every recommendation comes with fit checks. Read our full approach.
Affiliate links
Some of our links to retailers are affiliate links: if you buy something through one, the retailer may pay us a small commission. It costs you nothing extra. Every affiliate link is labelled next to the button.
Commission never affects what we recommend. The matching logic doesn't know which retailers pay commission or how much. Many of the products we recommend earn us nothing at all.
We take part in affiliate programmes run through networks such as Awin.
Prices and stock
Prices on EVENT/READY are dated reference prices taken from UK retailer pages, not live prices. Retailers change prices and stock often, so always check the retailer's page before you buy.
