The Nike Pegasus Trail 5 GTX is a versatile waterproof footwear option designed for walking, hiking, and running on varied surfaces. Its lab performance indicates that it is particularly suitable for users seeking a reliable all-in-one shoe during cold, wet winters.
With notable weight reductions achieved through smart engineering, this shoe features a weather-resistant Gore-Tex upper. While it may sacrifice some breathability and comfort, the lab data suggests that its design provides effective protection against harsh conditions.
