Given Salomon’s reputation for exceptional comfort, the testers were a little surprised: The redesigned X Max 120 W feels like it was built for performance, not pampering. Hardly a race-ready pain chamber, it sure isn’t overly cushioned or muffled either, and that lets it sing, responding to skier input quickly and accurately. Heat-mold the shell for a fine-tuned fit and enjoy its all-conditions, all-terrain use. Fischer: “Snug with really good ankle and heel hold. Definitely trades some comfort for great performance.”
