Talk to me about the fit. How do they compare with my tried-and-true TLT5?
TLT5 (perhaps along with the Salomon X-Alp) is the one boot that is both narrow and long enough for me at the same time.
Dalbello Quantum Free Asolo Factory 130 Boot
The Dalbello Quantum Free Asolo Factory is a meaty boot with a vegetarian weight. This balanced diet allows you to save energy on the skin track so you stay fresh for when it matters the most - ripping down the ski line. The two-part mid-entry cuff is easy to get into and offers an impressive range of motion to keep you efficient on the uphill. When you're ready to transition, the cuff buckle cinches everything up securely and the ski/walk lever locks into place with a spring-loaded catch, ensuring solid and reliable performance in the downhill mode. A simple pull tightens the power strap and provides additional stiffness at the top of the cuff. Whether you're speed touring or driving wider skis on a deep powder day, the Quantum Free 130 is up for the task!
- Extra Dual Link provides a 65° range of motion.
- Dual-density Vibram sole provides grip during ridge scrambles.
- Bonded Shell construction is light and stiff.
- Two dedicated buckles for increased durability and performance.
- A full-length boot board provides better fit and insulation against cold conditions.

Hey Eric, the Quantum Free A. 130 will fit a fair amount wider than the TLT5. Overall the fit is on the slightly narrower side but the boot feels roomier than some other truly narrow boots. The Quantum Free A. 130 does have a pretty beefy liner that comes stock with the boot so that is also something to consider.

Thanks Frederick! I was thinking their list weight was too high. Looking forward to getting them on the official skimo scale ;)

Thanks for your question, Ben. While this boot is very well balanced, it won't ski as well compared to the downhill-oriented Zero G Pro Tour. It does, however, have a better usable range of motion/weight that will make it a better companion for most on big vertical days. If you're after a boot that focuses on the down, I'd go with the Zero-G Tour Pro. If you want a balanced boot that combines efficiency with a good downhill feel, the Quantum Free 130 would do nicely. Please let us know if you have any other questions!
