100-Flex Women's Freeride Hybrid Boot

Scarpa 4-Quattro SL W Alpine Touring Boot

The Scarpa 4-Quattro SL W is a 1,290-gram (size 25) women's freeride hybrid boot with a 100 mm last, a 100 flex, and a GripWalk (ISO 23223) sole with tech inserts, built for women who want one do-it-all boot for on and off piste. The 4-Quattro SL W shares the low-volume 4-Quattro fit and four-buckle design but uses a Pebax Rnew shell and a traditional power strap for a more forgiving 100 flex, with 61 degrees of cuff rotation for touring.

Is This the Right Boot for You?

Best For
Women with low-volume, narrow feet who want one four-buckle boot for resort and backcountry, ski a forgiving 100 flex, and want GripWalk and pin-tech binding compatibility in a lighter package.
Consider Another Boot If
You have a wide or high-volume foot, a high instep, want a stiffer downhill flex, or you want a dedicated lightweight touring boot, since the 4-Quattro SL W is a low-volume freeride tool tuned for a softer flex.

Why We Like It

  • At 1,290 g per boot (size 25), the 4-Quattro SL W is the lightest 4-Quattro boot while still offering four-buckle downhill support.
  • The Pebax Rnew shell and 100 flex give a forgiving, progressive feel that suits lighter-weight and less aggressive skiers.
  • The GripWalk (ISO 23223) Presa sole with tech inserts lets one boot pair with GripWalk alpine bindings, hybrid bindings, and pin-tech touring bindings.
  • The four-buckle closure snugs the low-volume shell for a secure, blister-free fit on the up and the down.
  • Recco reflector technology is built in, adding a searchability aid for backcountry days.
  • The Intuition 4Pro Flex SL liner is heat-moldable, so we can dial in the snug, low-volume fit.

Best Uses

  • One-boot quiver for resort days with a walk mode plus backcountry touring
  • All-mountain and sidecountry skiing that mixes lift access with skins
  • Skiing on skis 85 to 105 mm underfoot
  • Women with narrow, low-volume, low-instep feet who want a forgiving flex
  • 50/50 skiers who want GripWalk and pin-tech compatibility in a lighter boot

Bootfitter's Advice

The 4-Quattro SL W shares the low-volume, narrow 4-Quattro fit with a low instep, so it suits flat, narrow feet best. After fitting the 4-Quattro line, we find the SL W flexes more softly than the Grilamid XT W, which lighter and more conservative skiers appreciate. Confirm size with a shell fit rather than converting from a street-shoe number.

We can punch the Pebax Rnew forefoot across the metatarsals, which the shell accepts well, but the low instep is the hardest area to gain volume in beyond a firm liner mold. Skiers with a high instep should budget for fit work or look at a higher-volume shell such as the Scarpa Gea. We recommend molding the Intuition 4Pro Flex SL liner to lock in heel hold.

Fit profile reviewed by CCBB bootfitters. Final sizing should be confirmed with a shell fit whenever possible.

Compare the Scarpa 4-Quattro SL W

4-Quattro SL W vs. Scarpa 4-Quattro XT W

The Scarpa 4-Quattro XT W uses a stiffer Grilamid Bio shell and a Booster power strap for a firmer 115 flex, while the 4-Quattro SL W runs a Pebax Rnew shell and a standard strap for a more forgiving 100 on the same 100 mm last. Skiers who charge choose the XT W, while lighter or more conservative skiers choose the SL W.

Common Questions

Who should buy the Scarpa 4-Quattro SL W?
The Scarpa 4-Quattro SL W suits women with narrow, low-volume feet who want one four-buckle boot for both the resort and the backcountry and who prefer a forgiving 100 flex. It skis skis 85 to 105 mm underfoot and tours with 61 degrees of cuff rotation, and it is the lightest boot in the 4-Quattro line.
How is the 4-Quattro SL W different from the 4-Quattro XT W?
Both share the same 100 mm last and four-buckle design. The Scarpa 4-Quattro SL W uses a softer Pebax Rnew shell, a standard power strap, and a 100 flex, while the Scarpa 4-Quattro XT W uses a stiffer Grilamid Bio shell, a Booster strap, and a 115 flex. Lighter or more conservative skiers usually prefer the SL W.
What bindings work with the Scarpa 4-Quattro SL W?
The Scarpa 4-Quattro SL W has a GripWalk (ISO 23223) Presa sole plus certified tech inserts. It works with GripWalk and MNC alpine bindings, hybrid bindings such as the Salomon Shift and CAST, and pin-tech (low-tech) touring bindings. It is not compatible with standard ISO 5355-only alpine bindings. Confirm any MNC or hybrid pairing against your specific binding.
Is the Scarpa 4-Quattro SL W stiff enough to ski hard?
The 4-Quattro SL W skis a forgiving 100 flex, which is plenty for many women skiing all-mountain and touring skis, but skiers who charge or drive wide skis will want the stiffer 115 4-Quattro XT W or the 125 Gea RS. The SL W trades some downhill power for a lighter, more progressive feel.
How does the sizing and fit run on the Scarpa 4-Quattro SL W?
The 4-Quattro SL W is a low-volume, narrow boot with a low instep, so it fits flat, narrow feet best. Length runs close to true Mondo. We recommend a shell fit and a heat mold rather than sizing up for room, since the performance fit is snug through the midfoot and instep.
Can the Scarpa 4-Quattro SL W be punched and molded?
Yes. We can punch the Pebax Rnew forefoot across the metatarsals, which it accepts well, and the Intuition 4Pro Flex SL liner is heat-moldable. The low instep is the hardest area to gain volume, so skiers with a high instep should plan on fit work or a higher-volume boot such as the Scarpa Gea.
How well does the Scarpa 4-Quattro SL W tour?
For a four-buckle boot the 4-Quattro SL W tours very well, with 61 degrees of cuff rotation that is much freer than a typical 50/50 alpine-touring boot. At 1,290 g per boot it is the lightest 4-Quattro, though a dedicated touring boot like the Scarpa Gea is still lighter for big-vertical days.
What skis pair well with the Scarpa 4-Quattro SL W?
The Scarpa 4-Quattro SL W suits all-mountain and lighter freeride skis 85 to 105 mm underfoot. The 100 flex and low stand height reward skiers who want a forgiving, direct feel both inbounds and in the backcountry.

Our Verdict

The Scarpa 4-Quattro SL W is the most approachable of the women's 4-Quattro boots, built for skiers who want a hybrid that skis and tours without the stiffest flex. It skis a forgiving 100 on a four-buckle overlap shell, is the lightest boot in the line at 1,290 g per boot, and tours with 61 degrees of cuff rotation and a GripWalk sole that pairs with alpine, hybrid, and pin-tech bindings. Like the rest of the family it is a low-volume, low-instep boot that rewards narrow feet. For a narrow-footed skier who wants one forgiving boot to ski inbounds and tour, the 4-Quattro SL W is a smart choice.
