Their Free/Lock 4.0 mechanism, offering 74° of range of motion, and their lightweight Prolite construction made of carbon-reinforced polyamide make them a great choice for challenging ski tours.

Atomic BACKLAND PRO Ski Boots for Controlled All-Mountain Ski Touring

Developed for all-mountain ski touring, the Atomic BACKLAND PRO ski boots feature a flex rating of 100, providing a firm hold for reliable support on descents while remaining versatile on technical runs. The 98 mm last is designed for narrow to medium-width feet, with a precise, snug fit enhanced by the Cross Lace 2.0 lacing system, which distributes pressure evenly across the foot. This profile makes it an ideal boot for ski tourers seeking controlled handling of their skis and a good balance between comfort and performance on varied terrain.

Freedom of movement on ascents thanks to the Free/Lock 4.0 mechanism

For ascents, the Free/Lock 4.0 mechanism in the Atomic BACKLAND PRO ski boots offers 74° of range of motion, allowing for a natural stride while ski touring. Combined with friction-free pivots, it facilitates the foot’s natural roll and minimizes resistance during transitions and extended ascents. This generous range of motion helps reduce fatigue on ascents and maintain mobility even on steep slopes, while providing a secure lock once you switch back to ski mode.

Lightweight Prolite construction and technical materials for durability

The Prolite structure of these ski touring boots features a lightweight construction with reinforcements positioned at key points to provide support where needed without adding weight. The carbon-reinforced polyamide used for the shell ensures structural rigidity that helps stabilize the foot, with a balanced weight-to-performance ratio. Each boot weighs 1,170 g in size 26–26.5, which is reasonable for tours involving multiple ascents. The 7000-series aluminum buckles and the 40-mm strap round out this design, providing a robust and durable closure that stands the test of time.

Memory Fit 3D Platinum Tour thermoformable liner and comfort

Inside, the Atomic BACKLAND PRO ski boots feature a thermoformable Memory Fit 3D Platinum Tour liner, designed to mold to the shape of the foot for enhanced precision and long-lasting comfort. Washable and breathable, this liner limits moisture buildup during repeated ascents and descents, contributing to thermal comfort and hygiene throughout the season. The Skywalk rubber outsole provides reliable traction when walking on hard snow or around the parking lot, complementing its use for ski touring.
