OutSole
Equip with Contagrip outsole that provides a great combination of traction and stability, with excellent grip on mixed terrain. Reliable braking lugs (the rubber treads on the underside of the outsole) with a multidirectional design that offer greater traction regardless the terrain. AC Tendon technology is utilized in the heel helps to provide high energy return from each stride thus providing a smooth heel to toe transition.
Cushioning
AC2(Agile Chassis) Muscle extends from the heel to the mid-forefoot and is sandwiched between the outsole and AC Skeleton. This composite foam is designed to provide cushioning. It is 10% lighter and 15% more cushioned for maximized comfort and responsiveness.
AC (Agile Chassis) Skeleton is utilized from the heel to midfoot and sits above the AC2 Muscle unit. The AC Skeleton is a thermoplastic unit engineered to aid in heel to toe transition while reducing lateral movement.
Triple density midsole offers maximium cushioning, comfort and responsiveness with twice the durability of average EVA foam.
Pronation Control located at the midfoot help to reduce overpronation.
Overall this is an Awesome pair of shoes to wear for a hike, trail running or even normal running. The colors on the shoe may be slightly too bright and flashy for some but I personally love it, It’s a sure head turner. Running in S-lab 3 XT-Wings is not only light but also comfortable thanks to the cushioning and technology in place, it hardly feels as if you are wearing a pair of trail running shoe as it only weight a mere 320g which is actually lighter than some of the running shoe available in the market today. No suprise why some would refer or compared the S-Lab series as the “Lexus” of the Salomon trail running shoe.
