I've used the civilian quest 4 for years working outside in remote Alaska and on construction sites. It has been my go to boot for summer or crossover season work for areas that don't require rubber boots. I recently wore out my last pair of quests and went to try on the new version and was sadly disappointed with the build and quality. It just felt like a cheaper boot. The fit was totally different from my older pairs (my 3rd set). I went on to try Lowa boots and have them now even though they aren't quite as good as my older quest 4s. I've been told to try the Forces version. Thanks for the review.
I must say I am very impressed with my resent purchase of Quest Forces. According to Haix spokesman there is a significant difference between Gore-Tex membrane used in the civilian and the military models. That's probably also case with the Salomon.
The pad on the inside of the Forces boot is to protect the boot when fastroping not rapelling.

Hello. You use Haix Gsg 9 or haix combat?
@@MartisGortega not those exact models. I have a review of a Haix boot that I’ve worn extensively on my channel.
