Saucony Peregrine RFG

Sustainability and the use of recycled materials in the manufacture of sports products is not a trend, but a necessity that has come to stay and, aware of this, Saucony is one of the brands that is betting more on the use of new materials, the new Saucony Peregrine RFG is a clear example of this.

The Saucony Peregrine RFG is a trail running shoe in which high performance innovation and sustainability go hand in hand to provide a good experience while running in the mountains.

Here we explain more details of this shoe which highlights the large amount of recycled materials and non-animal origin with which it counts.

Main characteristics and novelties of the Saucony Peregrine RFG

The acronym of the shoe itself (RFG) indicates Run For Good", a Saucony philosophy that prioritizes respect for the environment while maintaining the quality and performance of the shoes.

In fact, it is not the first RFG model of the brand, since last season we had the opportunity to test the acclaimed Saucony Triumph RFG in which the same characteristics of the more traditional Triumphs are maintained but improving the production ecosystem thanks to the high percentage of recycled and sustainable materials that were used in its manufacture .

The upper of the Saucony Peregrine RFG features responsibly sourced mesh that provides the same protection from the elements as the Saucony Peregrine 13's mesh, as well as being an environmentally friendly material.

The midsole features PWRRUN BIO+ cushioning, made from 30% sugarcane ethanol-based foam, thus reducing dependence on traditional plastics. This foam provides great comfort and cushioning, ideal for long-distance mountain training.

The outsole of the shoe is made of Austin Rubber, a compound that is made from a 50% mix of recycled tires, offering good grip and traction while reusing materials in its manufacture.

From the technical specifications of the Saucony Peregrine RFG, we highlight the 4 millimeters of drop that the shoe has and a sustained weight, similar data to the Saucony Peregrine 13.

Trail runner profile of the Saucony Peregrine RFG

It is a shoe that adapts to a large profile of mountain runners, in fact it is one of the most popular trail running shoes and with more followers. In the case of this model, which has the same characteristics as its sister shoes, we don't think we will see it on many runners' feet due to its high price.

It is a perfect shoe for light to medium weight trail runners that will allow them to run at medium to fast paces over a wide range of terrain.

Recommended distances of the Saucony Peregrine RFG

The Saucony Peregrine RFG is a shoe that defends itself perfectly in short and medium distances in the mountains, we could even use it in longer distances but the middle distance is perfect for the characteristics of the shoe.

In short, this is a shoe that will set the trend for the big brands in the coming seasons and the Saucony Peregrine RFG combines comfort, durability and, last but not least, environmental responsibility by reducing dependence on traditional plastics.
