One of the stars of this year's trade show and demo circuit, the Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD 130 BOA GW Alpine Touring Ski Boots drop a bomb on the boot industry with the introduction of one of the only BOA equipped narrow lasted hybrids on the market. The great things about the Hawx Ultra XTD remain the same - the Free/Lock 4.5 walk mode, the super effective Memory Fit heat molding capability, and the unparalleled fit around the ankle and midfoot - but the plastic has been changed from polyamide to True Flex Polyurethane for a much smoother and more progressive flex as well as improved ease of putting the boot on and taking it off. We also love the fresh new colorway!
Product Details
Fit
