When our trail date calls for overcast conditions on an already mucky hillside, we grab the Pearl Izumi X-Alp Launch Mid WRX Shoe to keep us fresh in mid-top, water-resistant fashion. The durable Cordura upper material provides seamless support that cradles your feet and is treated with a WRX water-shedding membrane. A Boa Fit System with an L6C dial makes for easy adjustments and reduces the snag potential that may come with standard laces.
