Challenger 7 GTX
Challenger 7 GTX is the waterproof road-to-trail model. It is lighter than its predecessor, with new softer CMEVA foam and increased cushioning. GORE-TEX Invisible Fit is bonded directly to the recycled mesh upper for weather protection. Durabrasion Rubber uses 4mm lugs in a gravel-inspired layout, balancing paved-road running with traction on unpaved daily routes.
