A carbon loaded PA shell under a carbon fiber cuff holds a firm flex at 1,179 g per boot in a 26\/26.5, and the 98 mm last runs narrow and low volume. With 74 degrees of cuff rotation and a 40 mm cam strap over aluminum buckles, the Backland Carbon sits between a ski mountaineering boot and an all-round touring boot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv

angle of 4 degrees. This is a performance fit rather than a comfort fit. Confirm size with a shell fit, and use the included size adjuster, liner laces, and liner spoiler to tune volume before any shell work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe carbon loaded PA shell accepts modest heat work and the carbon fiber cuff accepts none, so the Backland Carbon has less fit range than the Backland Pro sitting alongside it at a similar weight. We mold the 3D Platinum Tour liner as a matter of course. A wide forefoot or a high instep is better served by the Pro or by the 100 mm Backland XTD line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ccbb-rating-key\"\u003eFit profile reviewed by CCBB bootfitters.

The 98 mm last is narrow and the non-norm sole runs pin bindings only, so this is a dedicated backcountry boot for a dedicated backcountry skier. Wider feet and mixed resort use point to the Backland XTD line instead.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Atomic","offers":[{"title":"24.5","offer_id":48797082878109,"sku":"AE503514024X","price":1261.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25.5","offer_id":48797082910877,"sku":"AE503514025X","price":1261.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"26.5","offer_id":48797082943645,"sku":"AE503514026X","price":1261.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"27.5","offer_id":48797082976413,"sku":"AE503514027X","price":1261.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"28.5","offer_id":48797083009181,"sku":"AE503514028X","price":1261.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"29.5","offer_id":48797083041949,"sku":"AE503514029X","price":1261.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30.5","offer_id":48797083074717,"sku":"AE503514030X","price":1261.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0256\/7103\/files\/ATP_AE5035140_0_GHO_BACKLAND_CARBON_FullImageWebOptimized.avif?v=1788197849","url":"https:\/\/cripplecreekbc.com\/en-ca\/products\/atomic-backland-carbon-alpine-touring-boot","provider":"Cripple Creek Backcountry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
