      Atomic Backland Carbon Boots - REVIEW

      Atomic Backland Carbon AT bootsI applaud Atomic for producing such a well though-out and successful foray into the light weight AT boot category. Not only are they a great looking pair of boots, they also do what they were designed to do. Providing an incredible 74° range of motion (cuff rotation) in a silly, light weight, two buckle boot. If you are looking for a comparison, the Atomic Backland Carbon Boots are similar to the Dynafit TLT 6’s (which weigh 2100g), the new Scarpa F1 AT boots at 2200g, and also the new for 2016/17 season Arc’teryx Procline boots, which tip the scales at a reported 2380g. As you can see, Atomic is in good company, and hits the mark for a light weight touring boot at 2320 grams for the size 27 pair.

      Looks like a great boot. I like that when you remove the skiing tongue, there is just the liner left to get in the way of a smooth stride. Even the TLT6 is limited in this aspect. I would miss the Dynafit Quick Step inserts that make it easy to step in and also reduce "misfires" that damage the plastic around the toe area.


      Looks like you could loop a piece of cord through the cutouts in the walk mode lever to make it easier to pull with gloved hands.

      It's a great dedicaterd touring boot, that's for sure. The Quick Step inserts would be a bonus as you mentioned and yes I believe adding in a cord on the walk mechanism would be a plus as it can be hard to switch over with gloves on.
