Maybe you're the kind of skier who likes to shred the fresh with lift access in the AM, then ducks out the ropes with skins in pack after the pow is cut to pieces. We're like that, too, and the boots that deliver for both scenarios are the Atomic Hawx Prime XTD 120 GW Alpine Touring Ski Boots. Powerful enough to drive the biggest skis, but supple enough and with a superior Free/Lock 4.5 tour mode to spend hours on the skin track, the Hawx Prime XTD 120 is our best-selling hybrid boot and a favorite both for its awesome performance and heat-moldable fit options.

Last: 100mm – A comfortable medium volume last derived from Atomic's Hawx Prime boot, meant for all day comfort and then some.

Memory Fit – Advanced heat-fitting technology creates a fully personalized shell, cuff and liner in minutes. The key is Memolink, Atomic's special additive that improves the moldability and stretch of their plastics. Expansion can be up to 6mm forefoot width and up to 10mm ankle width, resulting in a permanent and complete anatomical fit in minutes. See your bootfitter for details.

Flex: 120 – A stiff flex that promotes aggressive skiing, but not so stiff as to hinder your descent in variable conditions.

Mimic Platinum Tour Liner – With flex zone and Dura Shield, washable and breathable

3D Stretch Toe Box

3M™ Thinsulate™ Insulation

Achilles Flex Zone

Shell – Polyurethane

Energy Backbone – A reinforced, asymmetric backbone providing extra strength for powerful skiing plus enhanced lateral energy transmission for better edge grip.

Prolite Construction – Instead of starting with a standard construction and cutting material away to save weight, Prolite does the opposite. It starts with the slimmest possible profile and then it builds up reinforcements in key areas where strength is needed.
