Your first 1,000 feet of skinning (OK, 304 meters) in the Atomic Backland Carbon Alpine Touring Ski Boots will be a revelation. And when you get to ski down, it'll be more of the same. This incredible touring tool weighs in at just over 1100 grams, skis as well as many mid-flex alpine boots, and tours like a dream. If you've been wondering how light you can go and still drive that ski the way you want, this may be the answer. As a bonus the Backland Carbon is one of the few light boots that remains relatively low volume, so you aren't swimming in the shell after a few days of skiing - and the forefoot can be modified for extra width using Atomic's proven Memory Fit heat molding process. If you plan to get after it, get after a pair of these first, you won't be disappointed.
Last: 98 mm – A narrow and low volume touring last.
Memory Fit – Advanced heat-fitting technology creates a fully personalized shell, cuff and liner in minutes. The key is Memolink, Atomic's special additive that improves the moldability and stretch of their plastics. Expansion can be up to 6mm forefoot width and up to 10mm ankle width, resulting in a permanent and complete anatomical fit in minutes. See your bootfitter for details.
Flex: 110 – A stiff flex for experienced backcountry skiers who plan to push the limits on both the uphill and downhill
3D Platinum Light Liner – Washable and breathable, with tongue stabilizer
Shell – Carbon Loaded polyamide
Cuff – Carbon fiber
BOA® Fit System
Prolite Construction – Instead of starting with a standard construction and cutting material away to save weight, Prolite does the opposite. It starts with the slimmest possible profile and then it builds up reinforcements in key areas where strength is needed.
Energy Backbone – A reinforced, asymmetric backbone providing extra strength for powerful skiing plus enhanced lateral energy transmission for better edge grip.
Forward Lean – 13˚ (default) with 15˚ and 17˚ options
Free/Lock 4.0 – Next-gen walk mode design stays put when descending and allows outstanding range of motion while touring.
Frictionless Pivot – Igus polymer bearings provide completely natural movement for effortless ascents.
