Salomon Quest 12

The Salomon Quest 12 is an all-mountain ski boot that is designed to be used for hiking as well. This is similar to the Salomon Quest 10 in the use of a backbone release to switch from a supportive ski mode to a hiking mode that allows for freedom of movement, but in this case a forward pressure plate is available.

The plate affixes to the inside front of the cuff to create a more even pressure distribution on the shin, allowing a comfortable and more powerful forward flex. A racing spoiler is also used here to offer strong support to the back of the boot, and an SCS toe cushioning system uses a soft insert and oversized liner toe cushioning to protect the toes against strong impacts.
