The XT Hornet GTX is built around a lightweight Agile Chassis System to provide stability through the heel & mid foot whilst leaving the forefoot more flexible for walking. Lined with a Gore-Tex membrane to keep out the wet the Hornet is designed as an all year round performer. The out sole is made using Salomon’s superb Conta Grip with Conta Grip HA on the higher wear areas & features aggressive lugs for security on wet, slippery & loose terrain. Foot security is provided by the Sensifit system which in conjunction with the Quiklace system cradles your foot to give a precise & stable fit. The laces can be tucked away in a neat tongue pocket to avoid snagging & loosening. Cushioning is provided by moulded EVA to give excellent next to the foot cushioning & anatomical support. The XT Hornet is primarily designed as a trail running shoe but due to its enhanced cushioning it will cope with the occasional hard-pack.
