The Hawx Ultra XTD delivers almost the same performance results as a heavy race boot, despite weighing as much as your given dedicated touring boot. If you favor an aggressive approach to out of bounds skiing, this factor is definitely worth considering.
Standard for boots of this quality, the shell and liner are heat moldable, the touring model uses a more resilient liner that’s built to withstand the wear of hours in walk mode. The width of this boot scales with length- adding 2 mm for every full size increase.
The Hawx line isn’t just the XTD hybrid touring boot. There’s a Hawx model for nearly every demographic interested in a lightweight performance boot. The Hawx boot line also comes in special higher-volume widths of Prime and Magna so people with wider feet don’t miss out on the fun.
Notable Features
Memory Fit : Atomic’s proprietary plastic blend allows for a better custom shell fit during the molding process
Mimic Platinum Liner: Atomic’s premium liners cuts down on weight and adds stiffness for downhill performance
