Women's 95-Flex Freeride Boot with a Touring Mode
Atomic Hawx Prime XTD 95 BOA Alpine Touring Boot
The Atomic Hawx Prime XTD 95 BOA W is a women's freeride boot for skiers who ride lifts most days and want a walk mode for the days they do not. A 95 flex over a polyurethane shell stays forgiving in variable snow while keeping the damp feel of an overlap boot, and a BOA H+i1 dial wraps the lower shell without buckle pressure points. At 1,869 g per boot in a 24/24.5 with 54 degrees of cuff rotation and a low cuff, the Hawx Prime XTD 95 BOA W is built around resort days with sidecountry access.

Why We Like It
- A 95 flex on a polyurethane shell stays forgiving in variable snow without losing the damp feel that lighter touring shells give up.
- The low cuff and True Size Mondopoint 22 construction extend the fit down to a 22/22.5 without scaling a larger shell.
- The BOA H+i1 dial wraps the lower shell evenly and micro-adjusts in both directions, which suits a foot that buckles pinch.
- GripWalk pads and investment cast tech inserts run this boot on GripWalk, MNC, and pin bindings from one pair.
Best Uses
- Resort skiing with sidecountry access
- Short tours and bootpacks off a lift-served day
- Skis 90 to 105 mm underfoot
- Medium-volume feet on a 100 mm last, from a 22/22.5
- GripWalk, MNC, and pin binding setups
Bootfitter's Advice
The Hawx Prime XTD 95 BOA W runs a 100 mm last, medium width and medium volume, with a low cuff across the whole size run and a ramp angle of 4 degrees. The Adaptive Fit System cuff takes a removable spoiler for calf volume. Confirm size with a shell fit rather than converting from a street-shoe number.
After fitting a lot of women skiers in this class, we find the low cuff and the Mimic Silver liner do most of the work before any shell modification. Polyurethane takes punching and heat as well as any material we fit, and Memory Fit is designed to shape both shell and cuff, so a difficult forefoot is workable. Note the Hawx fixed tongue on this model, which is less adjustable than the AFS tongue on the men's 120.

Common Questions
Who should buy the Atomic Hawx Prime XTD 95 BOA W?
Intermediate to advanced women skiers who ride lifts most days and want a forgiving 95 flex with a walk mode for sidecountry. The Atomic Hawx Prime XTD 95 BOA W suits a medium-volume foot on a 100 mm last and sizes down to a 22/22.5.
What bindings work with the Atomic Hawx Prime XTD 95 BOA W?
The Atomic Hawx Prime XTD 95 BOA W has Complete Tech GripWalk pads certified to GripWalk (ISO 23223), with investment cast tech inserts. Compatible with GripWalk and MNC bindings. Not compatible with ISO 5355 (Alpine) only bindings. Certified tech inserts add pin/tech (low-tech) binding compatibility. Confirm any MNC pairing against your specific binding model.
Is the Atomic Hawx Prime XTD 95 BOA W a touring boot?
It is a freeride boot with a walk mode. At 1,869 g per boot and 54 degrees of cuff rotation, the Atomic Hawx Prime XTD 95 BOA W is built for resort days and short tours. The Atomic Backland Pro W weighs 1,056 g with 74 degrees if the skin track is the point.
How does the low cuff affect the fit?
The low cuff is cut lower on the leg across the whole size run, which clears a smaller calf without removing a spoiler or packing out a liner. The Adaptive Fit System cuff also takes a removable spoiler to add volume if the calf sits looser than you want.
Can the Atomic Hawx Prime XTD 95 BOA W be punched and molded?
Yes, and readily. The polyurethane shell is the most workable material we fit, Memory Fit is designed for shell and cuff shaping, and the Mimic Silver liner is fully heat-moldable.
How does the sizing run on the Atomic Hawx Prime XTD 95 BOA W?
The Atomic Hawx Prime XTD 95 BOA W covers two Mondo sizes per shell and runs from 22/22.5 to 26/26.5, with a True Size Mondopoint 22 shell at the bottom of the run rather than a scaled-down larger shell. Confirm your size with a shell fit.
Our Verdict
The Atomic Hawx Prime XTD 95 BOA W is a women's resort boot that happens to walk. The 95 flex stays forgiving in variable snow, the BOA dial spreads forefoot pressure better than buckles, and the low cuff solves calf fit at the shell. At 1,869 g per boot and 54 degrees of cuff rotation it is not a touring boot, and a skier whose days start at a trailhead should look at the Atomic Backland Pro W instead. For lift days with sidecountry access, this boot is the ticket
