It's the Kjerag but for muddy & wet conditions
The Kjerag Brute Black represents a significant advancement in technical trail footwear, specifically engineered for performance in challenging vertical and soft terrain conditions.
Its design architecture incorporates aggressive 6.5mm lugs that provide superior traction coefficient in mud and unstable surfaces, while maintaining optimal ground contact for enhanced proprioception. The proprietary Matryx Micro upper construction delivers exceptional hydrophobic properties with rapid moisture evacuation capabilities, significantly reducing weight accumulation in wet conditions while maintaining structural integrity.
Despite its robust performance characteristics, the Brute maintains the Kjerag line's signature weight-to-performance ratio, preserving energy economy during extended efforts. The integrated technical features effectively address the biomechanical challenges presented by variable terrain, particularly in deteriorating conditions where traditional footwear exhibits performance degradation.
Field testing confirms superior performance metrics in scenarios where traction, drainage, and stability are simultaneously challenged, making this an essential tool for technical trail specialists and competitive athletes facing unpredictable environmental variables.
Quote from Kilian Jornet
“Kjerag Brut takes all the great features of Kjerag: the rebound, light weight, grip and comfort, and gets what it needs for soft terrain like mud or snow with an aggressive sole and a more breathable upper to quickly remove water when you run in wet terrain. It’s my first choice when conditions turn dirty, something pretty common here in the north.”
