Hawx Prime XTD 120 BOA Ski Boot - 2027

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I've been looking for a freeride touring boot that skis as well as it walks, and the Hawx Prime XTD 120 BOA Ski Boot is the closest thing I've found to that ideal. The 54° of cuff rotation gives you a real walking stride on the approach, and the Free/Lock 4.5 mechanism clicks into ski mode solidly with no slop. The BOA closure paired with the Mimic Platinum liner and Power Ankle Lock means the fit is dialed from the moment you step in."

The best lines on the mountain are rarely the ones you ride the lift to, and the Atomic Hawx Prime XTD 120 BOA Ski Boot is built around that reality. With 54° of cuff rotation and compatibility across Gripwalk, MNC, Pin, and MN bindings, it covers the full range of freeride touring setups and moves efficiently on the way up without making you feel like you are fighting your equipment on every step.

When the skin track ends and the descent begins, the Free/Lock 4.5 walk-ski mechanism locks the cuff firmly to the shell with adjustable forward lean so the 120 flex can do its job. Next-generation Prolite construction keeps the shell slim and reinforced in the right places for powerful, confident skiing on whatever snow you find at the bottom. The BOA Fit System wraps the lower foot with micro-adjustable precision, the Mimic Platinum liner with Achilles Flex Zone heat-molds for a custom fit, and the Power Ankle Lock maintains heel hold across a full day of varied terrain. AFS Tongue and AFS Cuff spoiler adjustments round out a boot that can be personalized from the shin down.
