Salomon Quest 12 Boot - Men's

Product Descriptions

REI Description: The Salomon Quest 12 ski boots help you access the best part of the resort-whether the lifts go there or not. Specialized ski/hike mechanism frees the upper cuff from the lower part of the boot and offers enough movement to comfortably hike to untouched stashes. When you're ready to ski, the cuffs lock directly into the lower shells to maximize power transmission on the descent. Innovative V-shaped lower shells and magnesium backbones virtually eliminate flex when backbones are engaged. Waterproof fabric along the sides of the tongues helps keep feet dry, even when hiking in deep powder. Customfit Pro liners conform under feet, over insteps and around toes, heels, Achilles and shins for superior foothold. Liners may be custom formed to enhance fit. Moisture-wicking layers of mesh, foam and insulation in liners efficiently transfer chilling sweat away from feet. Liners disperse more moisture than standard liners, helping keep feet dry and warm. Quicklace liner system creates an even pressure distribution around foot, and a neoprene toe box absorbs shock and increases insulation. Cushioning in the tongues reduces shin bang, and closed-cell foam under boot boards softens hard landings. Adjustable spoiler features 3 positions to personalize the fit around your calves and increase forward lean. Rubber soles offer excellent traction on slippery surfaces. With a flex index of 120, Salomon Quest 12 ski boots provide the responsive power transfer preferred by expert skiers.

Backcountry Description: For all the skiers out there who have had problems in the past with wimpy AT boots, Salomon has heard your cries. The Quest 12 AT Boot gives you the stiffness and stability of an on-piste freeski boot with a real-deal, free-flexing, touring mode. The polyurethane lower shell and cuff contribute to the bootAAAs stiff flex rating of 120, while the walk-mode release allows the boot to hinge at the ankle for comfortable uphill travel.
