Jake Strassburger, Commercial Manager for Atomic Skiing USA gives SkiGearTV a sneak peak of the 2016 Atomic Backland AT Ski Mountaineering boot line.
From Atomic's Catalog:
"Discover the Backland
Our brand-new Backland boots make touring much more efficient and a better experience for everyone – pros and rookies alike. What makes them really stand out is the way they move: they offer an impressive range of motion that feels so natural, it’s epic.
This is thanks to our new Free/Lock 2.0 mechanism that frees the cuff from the shell for incredible 74° cuff mobility. Plus a Frictionless Pivot for a super smooth movement and a removable tongue for climbing.
Like the leading touring boots they are super light, with the Backland Carbon Light weighing in at just 987 g. But unlike any other Alpine touring boot they’re packed with our all-mountain ski boot technology like Memory Fit to make them super comfortable. Plus a Carbon Spine for the powerful skiing you expect from any Atomic boot."
