In my experience, they are great on wet rock and grass, about as grippy as you can get i think.
But If you will be doing much on trails, as opposed to open fell, they will wear down very quickly, and you would be better with something a bit more hardwearing, like the roclites.

I've been using X-Talons all winter for running when it's been really wet and muddy. Definitely wouldn't use them for dry trails though. I would say they would suit a low volume foot. I have a med/high volume foot and had to change the insoles for thinner ones and only wear thin socks to get the best fit for me.
I really like them, I had the 190s before so knew what I was getting. They're much more robust than the 190s which I had to keep for best - they ripped open big style in a race
The 212s and something more traily cover most of my needs. I've a feeling they might have gone a touch wider over the years - the first generation I dismissed as too narrow for me and the current model are ok but perhaps half a size too long to get the width.
