Brands in the running segment are constantly innovating to offer the best solutions to runners at all times of the year. An example of this is New Balance's Permafrost system that offers extra protection to runners in the coldest and rainiest months of the year.
We are certainly in the months of the year (from October to March) when it is more difficult for us to go out to train -either on asphalt or in the mountains-, since the hours of daylight are shorter, the months are colder and it is generally a rainy and wetter season.
To go running, the body reacts differently in winter than in summer so we will have to protect us from the cold in an appropriate manner, the well-known method of the three layers and warm up properly are more than necessary, but we must not lose focus on the running shoes we use because the terrain conditions, whether asphalt or mountain, can be very different from the hottest months of the year.
Thinking precisely at this time of year and, to provide more protection and security to the shoes of the runners / as, the American brand New Balance has launched a new system, Permafrost already incorporated in some of the most emblematic models of the brand such as the Rebel FuelCell v3 and the Fresh Foam X 1080 v12.
What is the New Balance Balance Permafrost system and what is it for?
The main objective of the Permafrost system is to protect our feet from the cold and rain, so the sole and the upper of the shoe are the areas where we will mainly find this new system.
The upper of the shoe has a water repellent treatment (DWR) that is applied on the outer layer and works perfectly on those days of little rain or when the asphalt is wet, protecting and preventing water from entering the shoe and keeping our feet dry.
It is a water repellent treatment, by no means a total waterproofing as Gore-Tex can offer, but ideal for this time of the year. One of the most positive aspects of this water-repellent treatment is that it does not impede the breathability of the shoe and does not increase its weight.
In addition, the laces of the shoes with this innovative Permafrost system is different from the rest of New Balance running shoes. We are talking about elastic laces that will help us to adjust the shoe more easily, even if we are using gloves for the cold.
The sole of the shoes incorporates Hydrohesion rubber developed by the American brand itself, which helps maintain grip on wet terrain, even in the wet. Hydrohesion rubber provides excellent grip without compromising durability.
