2027 Atomic Backland XTD Carbon 115 Women's Boots

The Backland XTD Carbon 115 W is for the skier who loves a big day out but still wants to ski hard when it's time to come down. At 1,290 g with a huge 74° range of motion, there's no question that Atomic took the climb seriously—but the stiff flex and carbon-loaded construction mean the descent gets plenty of attention too. We really like that balance for long days in the Rockies where saving energy on the way up shouldn't mean compromising the reason you climbed all that way in the first place.

Consider Another Option If

Consider another option if you prefer a softer, more forgiving touring boot or if downhill power matters more to you than keeping weight low for longer tours.

Is the Backland XTD Carbon 115 W more focused on climbing or skiing?

It's designed to take both seriously. The 1,290 g weight and 74° cuff rotation make it well suited to long climbs, while the stiff 115 flex and reinforced construction provide the support needed for more demanding descents and wider touring skis.

Can the Backland XTD Carbon 115 W drive wider touring skis?

Yes. Atomic specifically designed the boot to drive wider touring skis while maintaining efficient walking performance.
