Salomon’s Quest has gained a lot of attention over the years for being an extremely capable hiking boot and the new Quest 4 is the successor to the Quest 4. We put the newly redesigned model through its paces through Washington’s Hoh Rainforest, where it was confronted with slick and wet trails that were dotted with loose rocks, fallen trees, and ankle-deep mud pools. Overall, despite a lighter weight, a new chassis, and a more modern design The Quest 4 boasts a very similar performance that its predecessor did, making it a great choice to move heavy loads through difficult terrain. Here we review our experience with this model, the Quest 4. To find out how it compares against the competition, check out our review on the best hiking boots for hiking .
