One of the lightest boots in the fast and light touring category, the Backland Carbon pairs a carbon reinforced Grilamid shell and carbon spined cuff with a genuinely wide 74° range of cuff motion, so the skin track feels as natural as walking. The Cross Lace buckle system spreads pressure evenly across the instep without the hot spots a traditional buckle can leave, while the heat mouldable Ultralon™ liner (Backland Platinum) can be custom fitted by your bootfitter alongside the Memory Fit shell. Built for skiers chasing bigger lines further from the trailhead, not a day at the resort, these run tech bindings only.
