Available in versions for men and women, this model blends a lightweight, highly breathable build with advanced technologies for cushioning, stability and grip, ready to handle both daily workouts and mountain competitions.<\/p>\n<p>Designed to accompany the runner from the fastest sessions to long mountain distances, the Kestrel TR introduces an innovative HH\u00ae Power\u2011Stride midsole made from nitrogen\u2011injected foam. This technology provides reactive cushioning and an excellent energy return, allowing the pace to be maintained longer with an exceptional light feel.<\/p>\n<p>To increase protection, Helly Hansen fits the new Kestrel TR with a high\u2011performance PEBAX\u00ae rock plate that shields the foot from rocks, roots and impacts typical of technical terrain. This structure also provides greater stability and efficiency in foot transitions, offering security on fast descents and during changes of direction.<\/p>\n<p>The upper has been crafted from a seamless technical mesh featuring HH\u00ae Max\u2011Vent technology to maximize airflow and deliver outstanding breathability. The fabric is hydrophobic and quick\u2011dry thanks to HH\u00ae Quick Dry technology, helping maintain comfort even in wet conditions, shallow water crossings or periods of intense effort.<\/p>\n<p>In the shoe\u2019s underside, the outsole houses the renowned HH\u00ae Max Grip technology together with the HH\u00ae Surround\u2011Grip system for reliable traction on wet rock, mud, compact trails and variable surfaces. The HH\u00ae Arch\u2011Brace structure further improves torsional stability and enhances control on uneven terrain.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-mainarticle__main-media\" data-ck-asset-wrapper=\"\">\n<figure class=\"c-mainarticle__fig\"><br \/>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Durability has been reinforced with HH\u00ae Pro Guard on the toe and HH\u00ae Tough\u2011Wear on the zones most exposed to wear, extending the shoe\u2019s life without adding weight. Comfort is completed by the HH\u00ae Max\u2011Comfort insole, designed to provide extra cushioning during long training days or races.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to its technical performance, the Kestrel TR, priced at 170 \u20ac, reflects Helly Hansen\u2019s commitment to sustainability. More than 70% of the upper is made with recycled materials, and the model uses laces, reinforcements, linings and various components produced from recycled materials.<\/p>\n<h5>What are the standout features of the Helly Hansen Kestrel TR?<\/h5>\n<p>\u2022 HH\u00ae Power\u2011Stride midsole with nitrogen\u2011injected foam.<br \/>\u2022 High\u2011response PEBAX\u00ae rock plate.<br \/>\u2022 Seamless technical upper with HH\u00ae Max\u2011Vent.<br \/>\u2022 Hydrophobic and fast\u2011dry HH\u00ae Quick Dry.<br \/>\u2022 Outsole HH\u00ae Max Grip with HH\u00ae Surround\u2011Grip for maximum traction.<br \/>\u2022 HH\u00ae Arch\u2011Brace stability system.<br \/>\u2022 Protective HH\u00ae Pro Guard reinforcement.<br \/>\u2022 Durable HH\u00ae Tough\u2011Wear construction.<br \/>\u2022 HH\u00ae Max\u2011Comfort insole.<br \/>\u2022 More than 70% of the shoe\u2019s upper made from recycled materials.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.athletics.co.ke\/what-has-made-helly-hansens-kestrel-tr-a-great-trail-running-alternative\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Norwegian brand Helly Hansen continues to strengthen its commitment to mountain runners, expanding its trail collection with the launch of the new Kestrel TR, a versatile, high\u2011performance shoe developed for runners who seek speed, protection and confidence on any terrain.
