OUR TEST OF THE ATOMIC BACKLAND EXPERT UL BOOT
MANUFACTURER’S OPINION
Designed for fast and light ski touring, the Atomic Backland Expert UL is a touring boot featuring the Frictionless Pivot system and a fiberglass-loaded shell for stability, speed, and efficiency. The durable Boa® Fit System ensures a precise fit that can be effortlessly adjusted on the go, while the new Speed Strap collar closure system integrates the buckle and power strap into a single action for super-fast transitions between walk and ski mode. The Free / Lock 4.0 system firmly locks the collar in place when switching from walk to ski mode. The 3D Gold Tour UL liner is reinforced with Dura Shield by adding two-step TPU and mesh protection for extra protection against daily wear and tear. The Backland Expert UL is very comfortable with a Flex 90 stiffness index and is the most economical way to experience all the best Backland innovations with minimal compromise.
