The 22/23 season version of the Hawx Prime 85 W remains a huge favourite with many skiers due to its smooth, progressive flex and precise feel. Sometimes softer flexing boots can be geared only towards comfort by having excess volume. Not in this case, the Prime 85 W has a user-friendly stiffness and a shell that is built for good skiing thanks to the Prolite design of lightness, power and sensitivity. Memory Fit allows the plastics to be custom moulded in-store for the best possible shape; a pre-shaped Memory Fit 3D Silver Liner fine-tunes the fit.Ability LevelOverviewFitMedium 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 Silver W, mouldable. Thermoformable material is used in the heel and ankle areas.

Using many features of the top-end models in the range, the Hawx Prime XTD 100 HT is an excellent introduction in to the world of BC ski boots providing performance, comfort and excellent value. Prolite construction uses different thicknesses of shell wall to balance lightweight with power and control. The Free/Lock hike and ski system provides 54deg 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 3D Silver Touring liner takes a mould of the heel and ankle area for the best comfort and control. Comes with GripWalk soles and tech insoles at the toes (not at the heel) 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 PU Memory Fit shell with PU Memory Fit cuff, mouldable.

The Speedmachine 3 120 features a shell with an innovative honeycomb construction made from a rigid plastic that integrates with a softer plastic. The result is impressive support and power transmission in key areas whilst the foot is still comfortably enveloped, as well as making the shell 5% lighter than previous models. The easy entry Soft Flap allows the instep of the boot to effortlessly spread open, making getting in and out of the boots a breeze. Infrared technology allows quick heating and modification of the shell to create a customised shape for your foot.

The secret lies in the new rigid plastic material, which provides a powerful frame and has been given an innovative geometry. Its Honeycomb construction lightens the overall weight of the boot, but increases the surface area to integrate perfectly with the softer compounds. Softer plastics are used to complete the shell for comfort and overall lightness.Infrared TechnologyInfrared Technology is a super-effective way to customise the fit precisely for the best possible shape. The shell is slowly heated and then a vacuum system is used to gently reshape the plastic where any additional moulding is need to get the best match to a skier's feet.PrimaLoftPrimaLoft is an industry-leading waterproof, synthetic insulation.

The upgraded Ultra 130 is 25% more stable and even more powerful than the previous version. It sits at the top of our advanced/expert selection with a True Flex shell of 130. True Flex PU is less affected by temperature and while traditional PU softens or stiffens as the mercury goes up or down altering the way the boot feels, True Flex stays consistent. This high-grade plastic also means an ultra-thin shell can be produced, increasing sensitivity with a noticeable weight saving but without any loss in performance or stability. The energy Backbone on the spine effectively transmits forces to drive skis, and the Power Shift on the rear of the cuff allows forward lean and flex to be adjusted for a personalised setup. A 98mm last and pre-formed ankle pockets provide all the foot hold good skiers want. The class-leading Mimic Platinum custom liner and Memory Fit shell deliver the best possible fit.Ability LevelOverviewFitSnug fit around the rear foot and medium over the instep, medium to narrow on the forefoot, round toe shape.Shell True Flex PU Memory Fit shell with PU Memory Fit cuff, mouldable.

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. True Flex is an exclusive Atomic shell material that means your flex and feel remains constant in a variety of temperatures. So, the boot you buy in store feels the same on the mountain, you don't lose horsepower in the spring and you don't have a boot that you can't flex in mid-winter.Liner3D Mimic Platinum 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. Thinsulate is the world's best-known insulation and its use keeps feet warmer. In addition there is heat mouldable foam in the tongue, forefoot and ankle area that can be formed to the foot at the same time as the Mimic material.Key FeaturesProliteProlite is a way of building skis and boots that turns traditional thinking on its head.

You can also alter the flex index by +/- 10 flex points by adding or removing a screw. Creates a completely personalised set-up.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.SpecificationCategory: AlpineFlex: 130Last Width: 98-102Custom Shell: YesCustom Liner: YesPower Strap: Quick Release Cam 50mmVolume: Medium-LowClips: 4 x 6000-Series Aluminium, MicroadjustableSole Unit: Grip Walk (ISO 9523)Pin Inserts: NoHike Mode: NoWeight (g): 1810 (1/2 pair size 26.0)Binding Compatibility: GripWalk, Multi Norm [Full Details]
