PRESENTATION OF THE DALBELLO QUANTUM FREE PRO

A lightweight and versatile ski touring boot
The Dalbello Quantum Free Pro is positioned as a lightweight ski touring boot for skiers looking for a balance between uphill efficiency and a more versatile construction for the descent. Compared with the more weight-focused Quantum EVO models, its design is aimed at a broader range of ski touring conditions.

A construction designed for touring
The Quantum Free Pro combines a lightweight construction with a ski/walk system designed to provide generous freedom of movement on the ascent. Its architecture aims to facilitate long climbs and tours with significant vertical gain while retaining a structure suitable for downhill skiing.

The closure system is designed to secure the foot and cuff once the boot is switched into ski mode. This positioning places the Quantum Free Pro between the lightest models in the Quantum family and Dalbello’s heavier, more freerando-oriented boots.

Quantum Free Pro: the versatile option in the Quantum range
Within the Dalbello Quantum family, the Free Pro is therefore aimed at ski tourers who are not solely focused on achieving the lowest possible weight. It retains the touring DNA of the Quantum range while offering a more versatile programme than the Quantum EVO models, which place greater emphasis on long ascents and big vertical days.

On paper, the Dalbello Quantum Free Pro is therefore an option for regular ski tourers looking for a lightweight and versatile ski touring boot for everything from day tours to longer days in the mountains.
