We don’t want wet weather to slow us down, ever. So we’re well pleased with GORE-TEX Invisible Fit technology, which gives you a 100% waterproof, water-shedding trail-runner with zero extra weight.

The GORE-TEX Invisible Fit tech is different in several ways. By matching the membrane to the footwear upper material through the direct-bond process, wrinkles and folds are eliminated, creating a true-to-size forefoot area. Bonded directly into the shoe, the construction is “invisible.” The resulting fit is so perfect, it’s like a second skin.

We tried the new Nike Pegasus Trail 3 GORE-TEX (available in women’s and men’s). The Invisible Fit’s flexible construction reduces weight and creates fewer pressure points. (For a trail runner, unwanted pressure points can really nag your foot over time.) And the shoe is very light and extremely fast-drying.

We poured the contents of a water bottle on these shoes and our feet emerged dry (while the material retained barely three droplets). You can run through a downpour and avoid that “soaker” feeling that can weigh down a non-waterproof shoe. And unlike other waterproof trail-runners we’ve tried in the past, the Pegasus Trail is highly breathable—so you can run on the hottest summer days.

In short: GORE-TEX Invisible Fit footwear offers runners top waterproof-breathable performance with the same fit/feel as a lightweight non-waterproof shoe.

The rubber outsole has a shockwave-like pattern inspired by bike tires. Nubs give you traction between trails and the road. More traction at the heel and toe helps with grip when going uphill or downhill. And the GORE-TEX Invisible Fit serves for any wet conditions—from summer showers to icy winter puddles.

At Kingdom Trails in northern Vermont, more than 160 kilometres of stellar singletrack and doubletrack snake their way through the rolling hillsides, passing red clapboard barns, diving into rocky, rooty forests and crisscrossing East Burke—a colourful one-block town with everything a bike tourist needs and nothing more: a sports shop, a general store, a handful of restaurants and shops. And a wicked parking-lot tiki bar.
