The 361 Degrees Lynx 2 is a lightweight technical trail-running shoe intended for runners who want an agile feel on uneven paths and wet ground. Compared with a general-purpose road trainer, its construction prioritises trail traction, foot security and protection.
The model uses a PRIMO supercritical PEBA foam midsole for cushioning with relatively low weight. The APEX GRIP rubber outsole is designed to improve wet-surface traction, while a woven upper has reinforced forefoot and heel areas for trail use. A midfoot pull-line structure is intended to improve hold on irregular terrain. The manufacturer also lists a removable OrthoLite X-40 insole, a 5 mm heel-to-toe drop and approximately 296 g men's shoe weight. These are brand specifications rather than independent testing results.
This shoe may suit experienced trail runners who value nimbleness over maximum cushioning. The outsole should not be assumed suitable for every mud, ice or rock condition, and runners needing pronounced stability support should check the fit carefully. Try on with trail socks and allow appropriate toe clearance for descents. Compare the brand's size chart before ordering.
