I'm searching for a light touring ski boot. ?

Would be on my salomon rocker2 122. Adrenalin bindings. My tours last around 2-3 hours and the way is not very steep. I'm 6'2, 195 pounds. I ski big powder.

I would have deal for all those boots

Dynafit TLT6

Find the one that fits your foot best, they all fit differently.

In terms of a uphil touring performance, Quest will be the worst. The others will all be pretty good, and relatively comfortable for slogging uphill.

^ its worth the time to track down all the boots in question and try them on. Seeing as you'll be skinning miles into the back country you want comfortable gear. Its all a matter of personal preferance

For that ski and binding I would go down the freeride boot route rate then the lightweight option. If you go lightweight though go atomic backland easy as that.

For freeride there are quite a few good boots. I like the waymakers an the k2 pinacle but the alltracks, quests and Cochise are all good options.

Like ke said above find what fits you first then look for features of the possible options.
