Tech Specs
Atomic Backland Pro Alpine Touring Boot
The Atomic Backland Pro is an all-round touring boot for skiers who want a light, fittable boot for everyday backcountry days. A carbon loaded PU shell and PU cuff hold a moderate flex at 1,166 g per boot in a 26/26.5, and polyurethane is the material we can work the hardest on a difficult foot. With 74 degrees of cuff rotation on a 98 mm narrow last, the Backland Pro trades the carbon cuff of its siblings for fit range and a lower price.

Why We Like It
- Polyurethane is the most workable shell material in the Backland line, so the Backland Pro is the boot we reach for on a foot that needs punching.
- At 1,166 g per boot in a 26/26.5 it is 13 g lighter than the Backland Carbon, so the fit range costs nothing in weight.
- 74 degrees of cuff rotation matches every boot in the Backland line, including those weighing up to 184 g less.
- The 3D Gold Tour liner and Memory Fit shell both take heat, so the whole boot can be shaped rather than only the liner.
Best Uses
- Everyday backcountry touring on skis 90 to 105 mm wide
- Skiers who have struggled to fit narrow carbon touring boots
- Long days where stride matters more than maximum flex
- Narrow, low-volume feet on a 98 mm last that need fit work
- Pin binding setups only
Bootfitter's Advice
The Backland Pro runs a 98 mm last, narrow and low volume, with a regular-height cuff and a ramp angle of 4 degrees. Confirm size with a shell fit rather than converting from a street-shoe number. The boot ships with a size adjuster and liner laces.
This is the Backland we can do the most fit work on. A carbon loaded PU shell and a PU cuff both accept heat and punching well, where the carbon fiber cuffs on the Carbon and Carbon UL accept none, so a sixth toe, a bunion, or a navicular that would rule out those boots is workable here. The 3D Gold Tour liner is heat-moldable and we mold it as standard.

Compare the Atomic Backland Pro
Backland Pro vs. Atomic Backland Carbon
These sit 13 g apart at 1,166 g and 1,179 g per boot on the same 98 mm last and non-norm sole. The Atomic Backland Carbon uses a carbon fiber cuff for a firmer flex. The Backland Pro uses polyurethane, which we can punch and heat far more freely. Fit needs decide this more often than flex does.

The Atomic Backland Pro W shares the shell, the 98 mm last, and the non-norm sole, and adds a low cuff for a smaller calf and a size run from 22/22.5. It weighs 1,056 g per boot at 24/24.5. Cuff height and size run separate them rather than performance.
Shop the Atomic Backland Pro WBackland Pro vs. Scarpa F1
Both are light all-round touring boots on pin bindings. The Scarpa F1 uses a BOA forefoot and a wider last. The Atomic Backland Pro runs a narrow 98 mm last with a polyurethane shell that takes more fit work than most boots at this weight.

What foot shape works best?
Low- to medium-volume feet with a lower instep and secure heel.
Does it punch well?
Minor boot fitting is possible, but race boots are less forgiving to modify than heavier Grilamid touring boots.
