The Dalbello Quantum boot is a worthy choice for those who want a lightweight, touring specific boot that has plenty of performance and comfort. The dual bonded shell decreases weight by using less material in its construction, also giving the boot impressive lateral strength. This contributes to more control when you really have to push into your edges on a steep turn, and also allows this lightweight boot to handle wider skis with ease. An almost frictionless 65-degree range of motion means you can strut with freedom and without resistance on the skin track. Thick or thin socks, the Quantum boot's easy to use ski/walk mechanism and fully adjustable shell closure system can conform to whatever foot fashion you have chosen for the day. In case you were wondering, the shell and cuff are both made of a polyamide composite material, creating a progressive flex that helps your performance in all snow types. A Quick Lacing System on the lower shell will hold the foot securely with an endlessly adjustable dial that can tighten or loosen with the twist of a wrist. If you thought Dalbello only considered technology with this boot, you'll be pleasantly surprised to know that the engineers realized how important comfort is to the ski experience. The ID Sport liner features Ultralon foam, a heat-moldable material that provides a comfortable interior for your "foot fingers" (as a German friend once said). The Quantum is perfect for the budget-conscious skier who is still after a performance-orientated boot that is lightweight and simple. Yeah, this boot kind of has it all going on.
