Features
Atomic Backland XTD Carbon 120 is the ultimate touring boot for skiers who want a stiff flex and the freedom to climb anything.
A multi-talented all-round ski touring boot, the hard-flexing Atomic Backland XTD Carbon 120 delivers strong downhill performance in a boot that can climb anything. Designed to power wider touring skis and walk efficiently, the 100mm medium last lets the foot move naturally yet keeps a secure, powerful hold. Built with Prolite for a slim profile that wraps the foot and reinforces key zones for powerful energy transfer, this lightweight, robust backcountry touring boot offers the most versatility in the Backland series. The open-throat, Hybrid Overlap shell enhances step-in/out, and the Cross Lace 2.5 Z-cable closure system delivers next level foot hold. Memory Fit allows for a fully personalized shell, cuff, and liner and the breathable, washable, PVC-free 3D Platinum Tour Liner provides climate control. A full rubber touring sole works with Atomic Shift plus all MN, MNC, and Pin bindings. 74º cuff rotation ensures natural movement.

- Memory Fit — Advanced heat-fitting technology reshapes the plastic cuff and shell to your leg and foot shape.
- Hybrid Overlap — An open-throat and semi-overlap shell construction that improves step-in/out and foot wrapping.
