The Atomic Backland Expert is a touring boot with Prolite construction, Frictionless Pivot, and the Boa Fit System for wrapping it all up. It’s the most cost-effective way to experience the Backland innovations, with minimal sacrifice. It ranks high on comfort with a softer liner construction and Flex 90 stiffness rating. Energy Backbone drives power to the skis downhill, and Free / Lock 4.0 system fixes the cuff firmly in place as you switch modes from up to down. Smartly-designed ski boots make ski-touring way more fun.
