Atomic BACKLAND CARBON UL Ski Boots

The Atomic BACKLAND CARBON UL unisex ski boot is designed for ski tourers seeking efficient ascents and controlled descents. Lightweight, with a flex rating of 100 and a metatarsal width of 98 mm, it’s designed for tours where consistent ski touring performance is essential. Its carbon collar and carbon-reinforced polyamide shell provide good foot support, while the generous 74° range of motion accommodates long mountain approaches. Finally, the closure system—combining a buckle and the BOA Fit System —allows for a precise fit, ideal for regular ski touring outings.

A precise fit for ski touring: the Atomic BACKLAND CARBON UL

With a metatarsal width of 98 mm, the Atomic BACKLAND CARBON UL ski boot offers a fit that hugs the foot relatively closely, suitable for ski tourers who want to maintain precision in their foot placement. The 100 flex provides sufficient stiffness to efficiently transfer movements to the skis, while remaining versatile across a wide variety of backcountry terrain. The combination of a carbon-reinforced polyamide shell and a carbon cuff contributes to stability and support, providing more reliable control during descents. The 74° cuff range of motion, meanwhile, supports ascents by offering a wide range of movement, which is useful on ski-touring routes where efficiency on the ascent is a priority.

An adjustable support system for controlled comfort on ski tours

The Atomic BACKLAND CARBON UL ski boot features a closure system that combines a buckle with a BOA Fit system for precise adjustment. This system allows you to customize the fit quickly and progressively, which is particularly valuable in ski touring when conditions change between ascents and descents. The washable and breathable 3D Platinum Tour UL liner ensures comfort for hours on end thanks to its Dry Fit foam, which cradles the foot for a uniform fit. The internal construction is designed to promote foot breathability and the liner’s durability, notably featuring Dura Shield protection to better resist wear and tear. This attention to fit helps minimize pressure points and maintain a more comfortable environment inside the boot throughout the entire outing.

Technical Features Tailored for Ski Touring

For weight-conscious ski tourers, the Atomic BACKLAND CARBON UL ski boot weighs approximately 1, 021 g in size 26–26.5, making it an attractive option for trips where every gram counts. The adjustable forward lean—set to 13°, 15°, or 17°—allows you to tailor your stance to your preferences and the type of terrain you’re encountering, offering additional customization for comfort on the descent. The Free/Lock 4.0 system locks the cuff between walk and ski modes, allowing you to switch from a high degree of freedom of movement to a firmer hold during descents. Finally, the Skywalk Full Rubber sole, compatible with TLT insert bindings, is designed for ski touring, providing an interface suited to the insert bindings used in this type of activity.

The Atomic BACKLAND CARBON UL ski boot thus combines a carbon cuff, a flex rating of 100, 74° of flex range, and a BOA Fit system to meet the needs of unisex ski tourers seeking lightness and control on the mountain.
