"The Salomon Men's XA Comp 3 GTX is the weatherproof version of Salomon's classic trail running shoe. Whether you're a competitive adventure runner or just out for a jog, the Comp 3 GTX's Gore-Tex XCR will keep your feet dry and comfortable. Salomon's patented 2-D chassis places a shaped plastic shank under the Comp 3's insole that controls twisting on variable surfaces. The XA Comp 3's toothy, Running Contragrip outsole blends several different hardness combinations with a toothy tread to give outstanding traction over a wide range of conditions. You'll appreciate the open-cell structure of the Ortholite insole on long, strenuous runs, since it allows your feet to breathe better than traditional insoles."

From REI:
"These waterproof trail-runners were built to perform on rugged terrain—ideal for adventure running and when comfort and precision are paramount. Synthetic leather and nylon mesh uppers are water-resistant, durable and lightweight. Gore-Tex® waterproof liners let feet breathe while protecting them from the elements, keeping them dry and comfortable. Sensifit™ synthetic overlays deliver a secure fit across instep; asymmetrical Quickfit™ lacing system takes one pull for a precise fit. Protective toe caps resist abrasion to uppers and keep toes safe from bumps; lace pocket on tongue stores laces safely out of the way. Nylon linings wick moisture way from your feet to keep them comfortable. Dual-density EVA midsoles absorb shock; nylon plates provide the right amount of flex, support and responsiveness underfoot. 2D Chassis Technology™ offers excellent push-through protection, torsional rigidity and forefoot flexion while reducing the overall weight. Running Contagrip® rubber outsoles deliver optimal performance on mixed terrain, even at high speeds."
