The Quest Max 130 returned to the boot test this year unchanged, and testers again gave it majority approval.
One way testers liked this boot was as a medium width off-piste cruiser—they got that strain by sticking with their regular size and enjoying the long and open toe-box fit. The other way testers liked the Quest Max 130 was by sizing down and heat molding the shell. We did each of these custom shell tests carefully and monitored the results closely. In each instance, testers gained a little length and as much width as they needed for a snug but well fitted shape. They also noticed subtle changes to the boot's stance geometry that improved its on snow performance.
Testers applauded the modular touring soles, available either with or without tech-compatible fittings. This feature, the gripped arch outsole, the always solid Backbone cuff release and the lighter weight 360 Custom Shell construction added up to a well-adapted backcountry machine with on-area street cred.
