Women's Freeride Touring Boot

Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 115 BOA Alpine Touring Boot

The Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 115 BOA Alpine Touring Boot is built for women who refuse to give up alpine-boot power when the skin track starts. A 98mm last suits low-volume feet, and full True Flex polyurethane, a damp plastic borrowed from alpine boots, holds the 115 flex under freeride skis 95 to 110mm underfoot. At 1,590 g per boot (size 26.5), with 54 degrees of cuff rotation and a BOA forefoot dial in place of a lower buckle, the Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 115 BOA covers resort days and sidecountry tours.

Is This the Right Boot for You?

Best For
Advanced to expert women skiers who want one boot for resort days and backcountry tours, ski freeride skis in the 95 to 110mm range, and value downhill power and an even, secure BOA forefoot wrap on a low-volume 98mm last over the lowest possible weight.
Consider Another Boot If
You prioritize long, high-vertical tours where every gram matters, want a lighter dedicated touring boot such as the Backland XTD Carbon 115 W, have a wide or high-volume forefoot, or tour so much that a 1.6-kilogram crossover feels like too much boot.

Why We Like It

  • The full True Flex polyurethane shell and cuff give the Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 115 BOA a damp, progressive 115 flex, the stiffest in the women's Ultra XTD line, that skis close to a resort boot.
  • The BOA Fit System on the lower shell wraps the forefoot evenly, removing the pressure points that two lower buckles can create and letting skiers fine-tune the fit on the fly.
  • The Free/Lock 4.5 walk mechanism with the Frictionless Pivot delivers 54 degrees of cuff rotation, a usable stride for a boot built primarily to ski hard.
  • The full-rubber GripWalk sole and tech fittings give a wide binding range, from pin-tech touring bindings to GripWalk and MNC alpine bindings.

Best Uses

  • 50/50 resort and backcountry days on one boot
  • Freeride touring on skis 95 to 110mm underfoot
  • Lift-served slackcountry and short skin-track laps
  • Aggressive downhill skiing where flex and damping matter
  • Women with low-volume, narrow feet and ankles

Bootfitter's Advice

The Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 115 BOA fits as a low-volume boot on a 98mm last, narrow through the forefoot with a low instep, and its heel pocket is the defining trait: we find it among the snuggest in women's touring boots. The toe box is low and close but does not crowd the toes. After fitting hundreds of women tourers we find it best for narrow, low-volume feet with a slim heel. Wide forefeet and high insteps will want fit work before this boot feels comfortable.

The Memory Fit shell, which is built to be oven-formed to the foot, and Mimic liner both accept heat molding, and the polyurethane shell punches and stretches more readily than a thin Grilamid nylon touring shell, so we can open room at the sixth-toe, navicular, and instep. The BOA dial spreads closure pressure across the forefoot, which helps skiers who get pinch points from conventional lower buckles. Expect the inside ankle bones to be the first pressure point; a Memory Fit shell mold usually clears them, and the same mold plus the BOA wrap brings some wider forefeet into the boot without a punch. Plan on a shell fit rather than converting from street-shoe size, since length runs close to true Mondo.

Compare the Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 115 BOA

Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 115 BOA vs. Atomic Backland XTD Carbon 115 W

The Backland XTD Carbon 115 W is a lighter, better-walking dedicated touring boot that weighs 290 g less per boot and walks with a longer 74-degree stride, while the Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 115 BOA skis with much more damping and power thanks to its full polyurethane shell. Choose the Hawx to ski hard inbounds and out, the Backland XTD W for dedicated touring.

Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 115 BOA vs. Tecnica Cochise 105 W

Both are stiff women's crossover boots, but the Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 115 BOA is lighter, walks with a longer 54-degree stride, and adds the BOA forefoot wrap, while the Tecnica Cochise 105 W runs a higher-volume fit and a four-buckle closure. Choose the Atomic for a narrow foot and more touring, the Tecnica for a roomier foot and more resort time.

Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 115 BOA vs. Salomon Shift Alpha W

These two share a 50/50 mission and a GripWalk sole. The Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 115 BOA adds the BOA dial for an even forefoot wrap and a 98mm low-volume last, while the Salomon Shift Alpha W keeps a conventional buckle closure and a slightly higher-volume fit. Choose by fit and whether you prefer a BOA or buckle forefoot.

Common Questions

Is the Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 115 BOA really a 115 flex?
Yes. The full polyurethane shell gives the Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 115 BOA a genuinely stiff, damp flex, the stiffest in the women's Ultra XTD line, that skis close to a resort 115. We find the BOA lower shell adds a slightly softer, more progressive feel in the first several degrees of flex, so it engages more progressively than a four-buckle alpine boot. The Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 115 BOA is an honest freeride-touring 115.
What bindings work with the Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 115 BOA?
The Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 115 BOA has a full-rubber GripWalk sole (ISO 23223) plus tech fittings, so it works with pin-tech touring bindings, GripWalk-compatible alpine bindings, and MNC (Multi-Norm Certified) alpine bindings. The Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 115 BOA does not work with standard ISO 5355 alpine bindings that lack GripWalk compatibility. Confirm your binding accepts GripWalk soles before mounting.
How does the Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 115 BOA fit?
The Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 115 BOA fits low-volume, with a 98mm narrow last, a narrow forefoot, a low instep, and a very snug heel and ankle. Narrow to average women's feet with a slim heel fit best. Skiers with wide forefeet or high insteps should start with a Memory Fit shell mold and plan on punching if that is not enough.
What does the BOA Fit System do on this boot?
The BOA Fit System replaces the two lower buckles on the Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 115 BOA with a micro-adjustable dial and cable that wrap the lower shell evenly around the forefoot. We find it removes the pinch points a conventional lower buckle can create and lets skiers make small on-snow adjustments quickly. Two buckles and a power strap still secure the cuff.
How well does the Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 115 BOA tour?
The Free/Lock 4.5 walk mechanism and Frictionless Pivot give the Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 115 BOA 54 degrees of cuff rotation, a usable range for a boot built to ski hard. At 1,590 g per boot it is heavier than dedicated touring boots, so it tours well on shorter laps and slackcountry but gives up efficiency to lighter boots on long days.
Can the Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 115 BOA be heat molded?
Yes. The Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 115 BOA uses a Memory Fit shell and a Mimic liner, both of which can be heat molded. The polyurethane shell also punches and stretches more readily than a thin Grilamid touring shell, so a bootfitter can open room at the forefoot, sixth toe, or instep.
How much does the Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 115 BOA weigh?
The Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 115 BOA weighs 1,590 g per boot (size 26.5). The Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 115 BOA is a heavy women's touring boot by design, trading weight for the damp full polyurethane flex and the even BOA forefoot wrap, and it is heavier than a dedicated touring boot like the Backland XTD Carbon 115 W.

Our Verdict

The Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 115 BOA is one of the strongest downhill performers among women's freeride touring boots. The full polyurethane shell delivers a damp, progressive 115 flex that skis like a resort boot, and the BOA dial gives a clean, even forefoot wrap that suits low-volume feet. The trade-off is weight: at 1,590 g per boot it tours well on shorter laps but gives ground to lighter boots on long days. For women who ski hard inbounds and out and want one boot to do both, the Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD W 115 BOA is a confident choice, best on narrow to average feet after a proper heat mold.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
