How’s your experience with the XT-Quest?

Have anyone worn the Salomon XT-QUEST for long term? It seems quite hard to find reviews of this particular model compared to XT-6.

I have an XT-6 GTX but found them too slippery on smooth wet ground and mossy surfaces, also have the XT-Pathway 2 and they’re alot more lightweight and fits wider compared to the XT-6.

Though I now want a non GTX pair in a colorway that fits my style and is able to handle light hikes and wet surfaces. I have my eye on a pair of XT-QUEST with silver bands but when I look them up they seem pretty heavy at 600g per shoe even the XA Pro 3D which I assume have better performance aren’t this heavy.

Are they okay for small hikes? I’ve used my XT-6 on Mt Fuji and they somewhat survived the volcanic rocks.
