For those torn between downhill diamonds and backcountry excursions, the Scarpa 4-Quattro SL makes life a whole lot easier. This hybrid mens ski boot allows for both. Its 120 flex rating responds in a progressive fashion, resulting in a little give while pushing into the boot, and pushback while initiating turns. That means youll get maximum comfort and power transmission to skis. Course that doesnt mean youre doomed to traverse the ski lounge encased in its Pebax R-New Shell. With a flip of the Speed Lock 4 lever, youll be able to fall back on a 61-degree range of motion for walking. Its a motion so simple that you wont even have to take off your gloves. The Scarpa Mens 4-Quattro is the ideal boot for demanding runs while retaining a lightweight design.
