Salomon Quest Access 70 (2012)

The Access 70 is a new boot from Salomon this season. The Quest Access Series has a wider fit than the Quest Series. The Salomon My Custom Fit Comfort Liner is soft and cushy. The Woolmetal insulated liner is a blend of wool and metallic polyester to keep feet warm and comfortable. Ride and Hike Technology releases the upper cuff from the lower to provide some flex for skinning and hiking up hill for a short sidecountry tour. Lightweight with durable toe and heel pads that grip better on ice, rock and firm snow. Not just for sidecountry skiing the Quest Access 70 has a wide fit in both the forefoot, and the cuff, if these are problem areas for you this would be a good boot. The Ratchet Buckle gives you 4mm of travel to get the fit in the cuff of the boot just right. The Salomon Quest Access 70 is a great boot for someone who is looking to start to venture in to the uncontrolled terrain that has a wider foot and calf. As always do not leave the safety of the resort boundaries with out a shovel, probe, transceiver, partner, and the knowledge to use them.
