Atomic’s Hawx Prime 105 is made for comfortable high-performance skiing. A 100mm last and a well-considered shape hold the foot without squeezing, whilst still providing the control needed for good skiing. The pre-shaped 3D Mimic Gold liner adds impressive precision and improves the fit, as well as having Thinsulate to wrap the whole foot for warmth and comfort. The shell benefits from Prolite design that blends lightness, power and sensitivity, as well as the customised fitting of the mouldable Memory Fit technology.Ability LevelBoots12OverviewFitMedium fit around the heel and ankle, medium to high instep, medum to wide across the forefoot.ShellPU Memory Fit shell and cuff, mouldable. The advanced heat fitting technology of Memory Fit creates a fully personalised shell and cuff in minutes. The key is Memolink, a special additive that improves the mouldability and stretch characteristics of the plastic. The boot shell is heated in an oven, then the skier's foot is placed inside the complete boot whilst it cools. With the foot's natural standing pressure, the forefoot of the boot can expand up to 3mm per side and the ankle area up to 5mm per side.Liner3D Mimic Gold W 3M Thinsulate, mouldable. Atomic's unique Mimic liners use a layer of supportive thermoformable material in the heel, ankle and tongue areas. After being softened in an oven, this material mimics the precise shape of your foot, and hardens in that shape for a perfect custom fit. 3D means pre-shaped heel and ankles areas for better foot hold and comfort. 3D Stretch Toe Box makes sure the toes have a bit more space in the liner when needed. Thinsulate is the world's best-known insulation and its use keeps feet warmer. In addition there is heat mouldable foam in the tongue and ankle area that can be formed to the foot at the same time as the Mimic material.Key FeaturesPower ShiftPower Shift allows the forward lean to be adjusted to 13, 15 or 17 degrees simply by moving the power control up and down. You can also alter the flex index by +/- 10 flex points by adding or removing a screw. Creates a completely personalised set-up.ProliteProlite is a way of building skis and boots that turns traditional thinking on its head. Instead of starting with a standard construction and cutting material away to save weight, Prolite does the opposite. It starts with the slimmest possible profile and then it builds up reinforcements in key areas where strength is needed.energy BackboneThe energy Backbone is a reinforced, asymmetric backbone that provides extra strength for powerful skiing plus enhanced lateral energy transmission for better edge grip.ThinsulateThe more air a material traps in a given space the greater its insulating value. The microfibres in 3M Thinsulate insulation are far finer than any other fibres, which means they trap more insulating air in less space, even when wet. This keeps feet warm and responsive even in extremely cold and damp conditions.General InformationCategory: AlpineFlex: 105Last Width: 100-106Custom Shell: YesCustom Liner: YesPower Strap: Velcro 40mmVolume: MediumClips: 4 x 6000-Series Aluminium, MicroadjustableSole Unit: Grip Walk (ISO 23223)Pin Inserts: NoSizing Hike Mode: NoRange of Motion: n/aWeight (g): 1636 (1/2 pair size 24.5)Binding Compatibility: GripWalk, WTR, Multi Norm [Full Details]
Blending the comfort and power of the proven Prime range with the lightness and natural movement of the XTD and Backland models, the Hawx Prime XTD is where all mountain skiing meets freeride. Prolite construction uses different wall thicknesses on the shell to keep the weight down without affecting the performance. The tried and tested Free/Lock hike and ski system provides 54° of motion, ease of use and, thanks to the way it integrates the energy Backbone, precise ski control. Memory Fit on the shell means it can be heat moulded to even more closely match the foot shape; the special 3D Mimic Gold liner takes an impressive mould of the heel and ankle area for the best comfort and control. Comes with GripWalk soles and tech insoles so it can be used with a range of bindings.Ability LevelOverviewFitAn average fit on the rearfoot with generous forefoot width and a medium to high instep.Shell Prolite True Flex PU Memory Fit shell with PU Memory Fit cuff, mouldable.

True Flex is an exclusive Atomic shell material that means your flex and feel remains constant in a variety of temperatures.
