A slightly more forgiving microfibre upper teams up with an M50 hood. This provides the obvious performance benefit of better toe-hooking. Beyond this it also offers greater out-of-the-box comfort and the adaptability to fit more foot shapes, thanks to a great range of elasticity over the harder M70 rubber rand used on the Velcro.
