Atomic Backland XTD Carbon 120 2027
Built for dedicated backcountry skiers, the Atomic Backland XTD Carbon 120 delivers an impressive combination of lightweight touring efficiency and powerful downhill performance. Designed around a versatile 100mm last, it provides a secure foothold while allowing natural movement during long ascents. With a stiff 120 flex, this boot has the support and responsiveness needed to confidently drive wider touring skis in challenging snow conditions.
Atomic's Prolite Technology creates a lightweight shell by reinforcing only the areas where strength is needed most, resulting in a boot that feels efficient on the climb without compromising downhill performance. The open-throat, semi-overlap shell design improves entry, exit, and foot wrapping, while Memory Fit allows for complete customization of the shell, cuff, and liner. A breathable 3D Platinum Tour Liner enhances comfort during long days in the mountains, and the impressive 74° cuff rotation provides a natural stride for efficient touring. Compatible with Pin, MN, and MNC bindings, the Backland XTD Carbon 120 is built for skiers seeking one boot that can handle ambitious backcountry objectives and demanding descents alike.
