Atomic BACKLAND CARBON Ski Boot

The Atomic BACKLAND CARBON unisex ski boot is designed for ski tourers seeking a balance between efficiency on the ascent and support on the descent. Designed for ski touring, it combines a lightweight carbon-reinforced polyamide shell with a carbon spine to deliver both stability and precision. Its 110 flex and wide-range cuff allow for fluid movement throughout the entire route. The washable and breathable 3D Platinum Tour liner rounds out the package, providing long-lasting comfort and support.

A ski touring boot for performance on both ascents and descents

Designed for ski touring, the Atomic BACKLAND CARBON ski boot features a lightweight construction that makes long ascents easier while maintaining solid support when you start your descent. Its 110 flex provides firm and precise control, which is essential for maneuvering your skis on steeper sections. The cuff’s 74° range of motion allows for significant freedom of movement in walking mode, helping you maintain a natural stride on uphill sections. The boot is designed for skiers looking for a boot capable of handling demanding ski-touring outings without sacrificing control on the descent.

Precise support thanks to the closure system and carbon shell

The Atomic BACKLAND CARBON ski boot ensures a secure fit through a combination of the BOA Fit System and the Cross Lace 2.0 system, which distributes tension evenly across the instep and top of the foot. This type of lacing promotes a precise fit, which is useful for gaining stability on technical sections. The carbon-reinforced polyamide shell and carbon spine contribute to the boot’s longitudinal stiffness, which helps transfer energy to the ski with every step. With a metatarsal width of 98 mm, the last is designed for a fairly precise fit, suited to skiers who prioritize foot control within the shell.

Liner Comfort and Versatility on Backcountry Trails

The washable and breathable 3D Platinum Tour liner with Dry Fit foam provides appreciable comfort on long days in the mountains, while helping to better manage moisture inside the boot. By promoting breathability, the Dry Fit foam helps keep feet drier, which can enhance comfort during ascents and transitions. The Rando ISO 9523 sole with Low Tech inserts is designed for ski touring, ensuring compatibility with Low Tech bindings that meet this standard. Memory Fit technology allows for customization of the shell, offering the ability to adjust the internal volume to better adapt to the foot’s shape when performed by a specialist.

A ski/walk system designed for seamless transitions

To manage configuration changes between ascents and descents, the Atomic BACKLAND CARBON ski boot relies on the Free/Lock 4.0 ski/walk system. This dedicated mechanism allows you to release or lock the cuff depending on the phase of the outing, so you can enjoy either maximum flex during the ascent or a firm hold once in ski mode. Weighing approximately 1,162 g per boot in size 26.5 MP, this model falls into the category of lightweight ski touring boots, which can help reduce fatigue on routes with significant elevation gain.

The Atomic BACKLAND CARBON ski boot is thus a unisex ski touring boot designed to strike a balance between freedom of movement on the ascent, support on the descent, and comfort thanks to its breathable 3D Platinum Tour liner.
