The Atomic Backland Pro UL is simply the best shoe in the fast and lightweight Backland UL range. The carbon-filled shell offers real skiing performance on the descent, the Frictionless Pivot and the Free/Lock 4.0 ski-walk system offer incredible natural movement for optimal comfort on the climb to the summit, and performance worthy of alpine shoes when the collar is locked in ski mode. The very solid Boa® tightening system ensures a precise fit that can be effortlessly adjusted during your ride. Designed for quick transitions, the new Speed Strap closure system integrates the buckle and strap into a single system for quick release with a single movement. A washable and breathable 3D Gold Tour UL liner is equipped with Dura Shield which adds protection to the liner and significantly improves its durability for long-term use. This is the ideal shoe for touring skiers who are concerned about the overall weight of their shoes.
