So I need some new boots for the upcoming season - and i have looked up the Full Tilt Drop Kick (13/14 sea.) and Salomon Quest 110 - I have only tried on the Salomon Quest 110, not the FT.
I ski the whole mountain - and i don't know if the FT will be any good, cause its so flex.... i could put in a new shin tho'.

What do u guys think?

Ummm yeah your new here? Anyway go to you local boot fitter. Just get the boot that feels best.


And as for your question if the flex is good all mtn, I have a couple if friend who use FTs for all mtn so yes they well be fine but get fitted before you make any desicions.

yes depending on how much you weigh, how aggressive you ski, and how you want the flex. and of course the full tilts will be softer, but it just depends on what you want, how the boot fits, and how you ski

If you are looking at the quest then a ft could be an option fit wise. They will be a little higher volume then the quest though so unless the quest felt tight the ft may be too loose. There are so many boots in that 98-100mm last though so like others have said go to a good fitter and have him select the best boots for You. Remember to get custom footbeds when you buy the boots. Without footbeds you really can't get the boots fitted well as you foot will be moving around inside.

Also if FTs fit nice but you don't want something as soft as drop kicks maybe get the konflikt. It's stiffer but still the same fit I think.

It doesn't matter the brand it just matters about what will keep your foot happy all day. I was so eager to get full tilts for this upcoming season but i couldn't do it because I just didn't like the feel of them even though they were FULL TILTS and settled with this other brand. They both are great boots just try on both a few times and see which one you like better.
