Atomic Hawx Prime 115 S BOA W

The Hawx Prime 115 S BOA W is a good pick for women with average-width feet who want a responsive resort boot that is quick to get into. It uses Atomic's 100 mm medium last with a 115 flex, enough backbone for confident all-mountain skiing.

A single BOA H+i1 dial wraps the shell evenly and adjusts in small steps both ways, so dialling in fit on the chairlift is easy. The Prolite shell keeps weight to about 1738 g per boot (24/24.5), the cuff sits 15 mm lower for women's calves, and the shell, cuff and Mimic Platinum liner are heat-mouldable. GripWalk soles help on the walk to the lift.
