Atomic Backland Pro CL

The Atomic Backland Pro CL is a backcountry ski boot designed for ski touring and alpine-style ascents. It’s built to help you tackle long uphill climbs while still offering enough support and control when you turn back downhill.

Weighing in at just 1121 grams per boot (size 26.5), this model keeps weight to a minimum without sacrificing performance. Its low-volume construction, with a 98 mm last, gives a snug fit that improves energy transfer and precision on challenging terrain. A flex rating of 100 provides a balance of stiffness for stable, responsive turns and enough mobility for efficient skinning.

The flex rating measures how resistant the cuff is to forward bending—a higher number means a stiffer boot. At a flex of 100, the Backland Pro CL offers enough rigidity to hold an edge at speed, yet isn’t so firm that it hinders the walking motion. The 98 mm last refers to the width of the boot’s forefoot: a narrower last locks your foot in place for precise control, especially useful when navigating tight or technical lines.
