Atomic Hawx Prime XTD BOA

It is designed to handle both equally well. The Hawx Prime XTD BOA bridges the gap by offering the stability required for aggressive resort skiing while maintaining a fluid walk mode that makes uphill touring efficient and comfortable.

The BOA system provides a more uniform, precise wrap around the forefoot, which helps eliminate pressure points and allows for micro-adjustments on the fly. It creates a secure, locked-in feel that is often more comfortable than standard buckle closures.

A mid-volume fit, or 100mm last, is the industry standard for an average-width foot. It offers a balance of security and comfort, providing enough room to prevent numbness during long days without feeling sloppy or loose.

The Mimic Gold liner is designed to be heat-molded by a professional boot fitter using specialized equipment. While it provides a great fit out of the box, having a shop mold it to your specific foot shape will significantly improve your comfort and performance.

This boot features GripWalk soles, so you must ensure your bindings are GripWalk compatible. Most modern alpine and touring bindings are, but it is worth checking your specific binding model before purchasing.
