This is the boot for women who don't do compromise. The Atomic Women's Hawx Ultra XTD 115 BOA is the stiffest, most powerful boot in the women's XTD lineup—built for female freeriders who charge hard both inbounds and out.
Some boots tour okay and ski okay. This one tours efficiently and skis like an absolute weapon. The 115 flex delivers serious power transmission while the 54-degree cuff rotation keeps your stride smooth during those epic skin tracks to untouched stashes.
The BOA H+i1 system makes perfect fit stupid simple. One pull wraps the shell uniformly around your foot, while bi-directional micro-adjustments dial in exactly the pressure you need. No more fighting with buckles when your hands are cold and the light's fading fast.
Built around that precision 98mm low-volume last, this boot hugs narrow feet like it was custom-made. No sloppy fit, no energy loss—just direct connection from your intention to your ski edges. The Prolite construction keeps things lightweight without sacrificing the beef where you need it most.
The Mimic Platinum liner is pure magic. Heat-mold this thing and it literally reshapes to match your foot's unique contours. The Power Ankle Lock wraps your heel in secure goodness while the Achilles Flex Zone keeps things comfortable during long approaches. It's like having a boot built specifically for your anatomy.
That Adaptive Fit System tongue? Game changer. Reposition it to match your instep height and foot shape perfectly. Because women's feet aren't just smaller versions of men's feet—they're completely different, and this boot gets it.
The Free/Lock 4.5 mechanism means business when it's time to transition. Locks down solid for aggressive skiing, opens smooth for efficient touring. Plus it laughs at ice and snow buildup that would jam lesser systems.
At 1,668 grams, this boot brings serious performance without the weight penalty. Perfect for dawn patrol missions or full-day backcountry adventures where every ounce matters on the way up, but power matters more on the way down.
