Atomic Backland XTD Carbon

Yes, with a 120 flex index, this boot is designed for expert skiers who prioritize power and stability on the descent. It provides the necessary rigidity to drive wider touring skis effectively while maintaining the lightweight profile needed for efficient climbing.

The boot features a 100mm medium last, which is a versatile starting point for many foot shapes. Because it utilizes Atomic's Memory Fit technology, a professional boot fitter can heat-mold the shell, cuff, and liner to customize the fit to your unique anatomy.

The 74° range of motion allows for a very natural, unimpeded stride while skinning uphill. This extensive rotation significantly reduces fatigue on long tours by letting you move your ankle through a full range of motion without resistance from the boot.

These boots feature a full-rubber touring norm sole, making them compatible with a wide range of systems, including Atomic Shift, MN, MNC, and standard Pin bindings. Always double-check your specific binding's DIN or touring compatibility standards before heading out.

The 3D Platinum Tour Liner is designed specifically for backcountry use; it is breathable to help regulate temperature during high-output climbs and is fully washable. It is also PVC-free, focusing on a premium, climate-controlled fit that keeps your feet comfortable throughout long days in the mountains.

No, the open-throat and semi-overlap shell design is purely functional. It makes the boot significantly easier to step into and out of, while also improving how the shell wraps around your foot for a more secure, precise hold.
