Kitletics Review · 8.4 Good
Adidas Terrex Agravic 3 is a trail shoe. Adidas trail shoe with Lightstrike cushioning and Continental rubber for mixed trail grip. I'd shortlist it for trail grip. The trade-off is not a technical alpine scramble shoe — Brooks Cascadia 18 is the cleaner compare when that is most of your week. It fits buyers who actually need a trail shoe, not a one-product rotation.
