Atomic Hawx 80 Ski Boot


Atomic ski boots are back in Alpine Ski Shop. After a 4 year hiatus, The HAWX boot line is here. For those of you wondering where Atomic ski boots came from, they got rid of the name Koflach, and voila, they had Atomic boots. A little known fact is Koflach is german for "crap". Atomic has rid itself of that moniker now, and "Hawx" is born.
The first thing you notice is the red elastamer in the forefoot of this boot. This is known as the "I" flex chassis. It does a lot of things, but in a nutshell, it supports the natural biomechanical foot function. The fit just feels great on this whole line of boots. This the 80 in Ti silver and blue. All Hawx boots are therm-ic prepared, so you can add a battery to this boot for instant heat. Pretty cool. More on this boot in the next post.
