  • RunRepeat : 82.6 / 100 — « The Nike Pegasus 41 GTX delivers real waterproof protection to the iconic daily trainer but comes with a few compromises. We found this Gore-Tex version noticeably heavier at 11.1 oz, $20 pricier, and underperforming on dry roads. However, its exceptional behavior on wet surfaces impressed us—offering excellent grip and enhanced comfort through a well-padded, weather-resistant upper. The ReactX foam and dual Air Zoom units retain the cushioned, responsive feel of the original Peg, making this a solid winter-specific option. »
