For many years, Salomon has been comfortably ranked among the leading brands for trail runners. The brand delivers lightweight, rugged shoes that withstand the most challenging terrain. Their latest releases combine an all-new trail running shoe design with a premium hydration vest designed in collaboration with Pas Normal Studios, a producer of contemporary, technical cycling clothing and accessories.

The Pas Normal Studios x Salomon collection kicks off with the Salomon DRX Defy GRVL, an exceptionally lightweight guided trainer made for various running scenarios, from the pavements and streets of the city to the paths of the wilderness. This flexibility comes thanks to the minimalist design approach incorporating advanced functionality into its DNA.

With the highly responsive energyFOAM system at its core, the Salomon DRX Defy GRVL uses premium cushioning to deliver a comfortable fit and easy propulsion while running. This has been paired with a responsive gravel grip for managing tricky terrain and confidently switching from gravel to asphalt. Additional high-performance features include the activeCHASSIS system that accentuates the runner’s movements and improves balance.

The Salomon Active Skin 12 hydration vest is paired with running shoes. It is geared toward long-distance runners who require soft and breathable fabrics to regulate body temperature. It delivers a precision fit and has chest pockets for drinking flasks equipped with straws for hands-free hydration. It also has optimized storage compartments for stowing walking poles, smartphones, and other essentials.

Designed with precision performance in mind and using high-end materials, the Pas Normal Studios x Salomon collaboration is an essential collection for dedicated runners.
