The Atomic Backland Carbon is a ski boot designed to offer a lightweight build and a precise fit for skiers who value both mobility and support. Its name hints at carbon construction, keeping weight down without losing rigidity where it counts.
With a flex rating of 110, this boot provides a responsive stiffness that supports controlled turns while still allowing enough give for uphill movements. The 98 mm last narrows the shell around the forefoot, resulting in a snug, performance-oriented fit, and the low-volume design keeps your foot locked in place. Weighing in at just 1103 g per boot (size 26.5), it helps reduce fatigue during long tours.
The term “last” refers to the forefoot width of the shell measured in millimeters; a 98 mm last offers a closer fit for more direct energy transfer. The flex rating—on a scale where higher numbers mean a stiffer boot—describes how much the cuff resists forward flex: at 110, it balances downhill support with enough flexibility to maintain comfort and range of motion on the ascent.
