Description
The Atomic Hawx Prime 85 W 2027 Black/Dust ski boots are designed for recreational to athletic female skiers looking for comfort, support, and control on the slopes. With a flex rating of 85 and a medium last width of 100 mm, this women’s ski boot offers an accessible fit with enough responsiveness to help you further develop your technique. The four aluminum buckles provide a secure, adjustable fit, while the lightweight Prolite construction supports power transfer. Thanks to the thermoformable Mimic Silver liner, Memory Fit technology, and anatomically contoured cuff, this model is particularly appealing to skiers who want to combine comfort with a personalized fit.
Flex: 85
With a flex index of 85, this Atomic women’s ski boot offers relatively flexible to medium-stiff support. The boot bends forward smoothly, making it easier to build pressure when initiating a turn.
The Energy Link at the rear improves the connection between the shell and the cuff and supports controlled power transfer. An interesting choice for female skiers who want to further develop their technique without the resistance of a stiff performance boot.
Fit & Last Width: Medium Volume – 100 mm
The Hawx Prime 85 W has a medium fit with a nominal last width of 100 mm at Mondopoint 26/26.5. The width varies with shoe size and is, for example, 96 mm at MP 24/24.5.
The anatomical last is designed for feet of average width and average volume. The Mimic Silver liner supports the heel and ankle, while the 3D Stretch Toe Box provides extra room for movement around the big toe.
The lower cuff is specifically tailored to the female anatomy and offers more room around the calf. With the removable Adaptive Fit System (AFS) Cuff Spoiler, that space can be further increased.
Closure System: 4 Aluminum Buckles
The Atomic Hawx Prime 85 W features four 6000-Series aluminum buckles that allow you to adjust the tension around the foot and lower leg separately.
This classic buckle closure enables targeted pressure distribution and ensures a stable fit while skiing. A 35 mm Velcro Power Strap provides extra support at the top of the cuff and helps improve contact between your lower leg and the ski boot.
Liner & Footbed: Mimic Silver
The Mimic Silver liner combines an anatomically shaped construction with supportive materials for a precise fit. Thanks to thermoformable Mimic technology, the liner can be professionally customized to the individual shape of your foot.
The Ankle Lock reinforcement helps keep the heel stable, while the 3D Stretch Toe Box provides extra room around the big toe. The fixed tongue ensures a consistent fit across the instep.
Shell & Cuff: Prolite & Memory Fit
The polyurethane shell and cuff are built using Atomic’s Prolite construction. This reinforces key zones for efficient power transfer without adding unnecessary extra material.
The Energy Link supports the connection between the shell and cuff, while the Energy Backbone provides extra stability while skiing.
Thanks to Memory Fit, the shell and cuff can be professionally thermally molded. Dual-Sided Cuff Alignment also allows for adjustment of the cuff’s lateral position. The lower cuff and removable AFS spoiler offer additional adjustment options around the calf.
Sole & Binding Compatibility: GripWalk
The pre-mounted Cantable GripWalk Grip Pads comply with the ISO 23223 standard. They provide extra grip and a more natural rolling motion when walking off-piste.
These ski boots are compatible with ski bindings that are explicitly compatible with GripWalk. Not all traditional alpine bindings support this type of sole. Therefore, always have the compatibility of your specific binding checked and have the binding professionally adjusted.
Level: Beginner – Intermediate
These Atomic ski boots are particularly well-suited for beginner to intermediate skiers who want to ski comfortably and further develop their technique.
The 85 flex provides sufficient support for controlled turns and an increasingly active skiing style, without feeling overly stiff. An interesting choice for those who hit the slopes regularly and are looking for a good balance between comfort, stability, and control.
Size Guide: Mondopoint & Fit
Choose your ski boot based on your foot length in centimeters, expressed in Mondopoint. Your regular European shoe size is only a guideline.
With this medium Hawx Prime fit, your forefoot width, instep height, heel volume, and calf shape are also important. The boot should fit snugly with sufficient heel support, without any uncomfortable pressure points. A ski boot that’s too big can cause extra movement in your foot and reduce control while skiing.
Stoked Boot Fitting Advice
At Stoked in Halle, we especially recommend this Atomic model to female skiers with an average foot width who are looking for a comfortable, supportive ski boot that will mold to their feet over time. We pay extra attention to the heel closure, the space over the instep, and the fit around the calf. Thanks to Memory Fit, the thermoformable Mimic Silver liner, the AFS Cuff spoiler, and optional supportive insoles, we can specifically optimize the fit wherever the construction and your foot shape allow.
