User questions & answers

Question:	Is the size correct
Answer:	Depends on what typ, brand and/or alkaline/ rechargeable battery. Goto Petzl's website and email them for a more detailed response.
Question:	What color is Phantom? Looks like a plum or purple
Answer:	It pivots up and down. Switching on off, and between red white is simpler than most other brand head lamps I’ve had. This replaced my old petzl with the flip up red lens.
Question:	My foot length is 29.5cm, what is the size of shoes (salomon men's quest 4d 3 gtx) should fit
Answer:	Hey! According to Petzl's website, this headlamp is weather-resistant, but not waterproof. Thanks!
Question:	Though these boots are waterproof, should I spray a protectant on them
Answer:	I used the Tikka on a daily basis for 4 years. I then ordered the Tactikka as a replacement and it is identical. The Tactikka has the same settings as the Tikka: High, medium, low, strobe and red. The brightness is the same. As for the tilt? its the same as well. There is not a defined beam it is more like a floodlight.

Secure Grip, Stability, & Cushioning

QUEST 4D 3 GTX is all about walking comfort, with technologies to reduce fatigue over the duration of your treks. Light and cushioned with running shoe adapted technology, yet supportive enough for backpacking, this boot helps you get to the next camp site with happier feet. The 4D Advanced Chassis design enables more forefoot flexion for a smoother ride that flows from step to step, guiding the foot and reducing fatigue during long days on the trail, even on the roughest terrain.

Contagrip Outsole

For maximum traction on mixed terrain and extended durability, Contagrip TD combines a deep, aggressive lug pattern with our most durable compound. EnergyCell midsole, a high performance EVA foam, provides shock attenuation.

SensiFit Foothold

SensiFit cradles the foot from the midsole to the lacing system, providing a secure, snug, and virtually customized fit all around the foot. Molded OrthoLite sockliner delivers comfort and breathability.

GORE-TEX Waterproof

Added GORE-TEX membrane keeps your feet dry from the outside as well as from the inside. Waterproof material remains unaffected by water even when under pressure, completely preventing water from entering the shoe through the upper. Protective mudguard around the base of the foot protects the lateral and medial sides from muddy trails, while the rubber toe-cap protects the toes. Full grain Nubuck leather on the upper delivers longer wear and durability.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do they come in black
Answer:	Lamp has Red, green and blue modes . They can stay on or be set to constantly flash. It also has 3 brightness settings on the white lamp. To change colors press and hold down until desired color appears, then release. To Change brightness simply press and release with little pause in between clicks. To turn on or off just click once 350 lumens that I have yet to run out of battery while hunting, guess 5-6 hours on high but I’m sure their website list. Awesome lamp!!!
Question:	Are these recommended for wide feet
Answer:	Just opting the housing and plug the cord directly into the battery
Question:	I thought shipping was free
Answer:	This headlamp is rated as IPX4, which is weather resistant.
Question:	Are the men's versions wider than the women's in the same equivalent size? Showing widths at the ball of the foot would be helpful for all footwear
Answer:	Yes, it does. Wasn’t sure but just checked myself. If you press it to GREEN, the next toggle is flashing GREEN, then you press one more time it turns off. But when you press to turn it back on, it’s green. It does it on all colors.

User questions & answers

Question:	where are these boots manufactured
Answer:	Mine fit correct to size
Question:	I wear men’s 11.5 wide can’t use a narrow can I get a list of only what s available in wide
Answer:	This picture in a different review shows the colors accurately: https://www.amazon.com/review/RML0Z7XIH7BDK/ref=cm_cr_srp_d_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00TE3DO98. I expected black but it is about half green and half black.
Question:	How is the arch support
Answer:	I wear size 13 (29.5) in pretty much every shoe. Mostly hug top skate shoes; vans, DC, etc. The size 13s (29.5) Salmon Quest 4D 3 GTX fit me perfectly. I’ve gone on many hikes and played many 18+ holes of disc golf in them with no discomfort at all.
Question:	How do these fit(sizing) compared to Salomon's Quest 4D 2 gtx boots
Answer:	GORTEX will keep water off say rain --continued prolonged soaking does soak through in my experience with gortex. Using a camping waterproofer like for tents etc will increase the time you can drench it or stand it water without soak through---may effect breathability but I havent noticed any problems when I have done similar boots and the stuff eventually washes off or wears off

CAPABLE FOR WHATEVER YOUR WEEK HOLDS

Looking to the archives of the '80s and '90s, we merged the style of two of our most popular hike and work boots to create the Skyridge - an extremely capable, daily wear boot. We updated a retro pattern with strategically placed leather in the upper for a more modern touch and increased durability. Then we infused the midsole and outsole with a longer-lasting rubber to allow for off-pavement exploration. This ultimately leads to the design of a clean, modern boot that is light enough for daily use, but rugged enough for adventure whenever the moment strikes.

CROSS-FUNCTIONAL COMFORT

The Skyridge uses an exclusive outsole with multi-directional lugs to give you secure grip on whatever terrain your day brings. Made from durable rubber, it’ll last for many miles of pavement and trail. We paired the outsole with an EVA midsole to provide just the right mix of cushioning and energy rebound. With the addition of a removable Ortholite footbed, the Skyridge will be your new go-to for a comfortably capable boot morning after morning, weekday and weekend.
