Thanks also for your great gear reports. I don't mean to be negative about the Ultra 2, seeing as I haven't even tried them yet. With the changes they seem like they should be in the XA line and not the S-Lab line. I'm just a huge fan of the Ultra and am hoping they're not changed too much. (I stocked up on 4 pairs during the Salomon Labor Day sale just in case). In the past, I can't think of any other shoe I've liked better after it was made heavier regardless of new technology etc. Here's hoping I'm wrong.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-36557694951029035782017-09-12T06:19:24.743-06:002017-09-12T06:19:24.743-06:00Hi Anonymous,

Kilian no question was wearing a form of the MESH. Yes Sense Ultra 2 is heavier by 0.9 oz/26 g but more protective and supportive it seems likely a good choice for this year's UTMB.

From what I have read, the Sense Ultra 2 gains weight over version 1, making it quite heavy for an "elite" racing shoe. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
