2027 Atomic Hawx Prime 105 S BOA Women's Ski Boots

Women who ski the whole mountain and want real performance in a women's-specific build should look hard at the Atomic Hawx Prime 105 S BOA W. It carries a stiff women's flex on a medium-volume 100mm last, with a lower-profile cuff sized for a woman's leg and a BOA-closed lower for an even wrap. It is a confident, capable boot that does not feel like a shrunken men's model.

Why we like it:

The lower-cuff height and women's-specific shaping make a real difference in calf fit and forward drive, two things gender-swapped boots usually get wrong. We also like the BOA H+i1 shell closure, which spreads tension smoothly across the forefoot instead of pinching at buckle points.

Who it's for:

This one suits advanced and expert women skiers who push the pace and want a stiff, responsive boot. The 100mm last is medium-volume, a match for an average-width foot, and the low cuff fits a woman's lower leg better than a standard-height shell. A good pick for skiers stepping up from a softer boot.

Highlights:

Start with the cuff: it is a lower-height, women's-specific shape that improves calf contact and forward lean, paired with 6000-series aluminum buckles. The shell closes with a BOA H+i1 Single Pull dial for even, micro-adjustable tension across the foot. Prolite construction keeps the build strong but light, and Memory Fit plus True Size Mondopoint 22 sizing means a bootfitter can heat-mold the shell and cuff to your anatomy. Power Shift 2.0 adjusts forward lean across 13, 15, and 17 degrees and lets you tune the flex feel. The Mimic Gold liner is fully heat moldable with a balance of response and comfort, and a 40mm velcro strap and GripWalk soles round it out.

Things to consider:

At a 105 women's flex this is a performance boot that rewards a strong, technical skier and may feel like a lot for someone still building those skills. The medium-volume last will feel generous to genuinely narrow feet. The cuff uses traditional buckles, so the closure is not fully tool-free.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Last width runs 100mm, a medium-volume fit for an average-width foot, and the low cuff is shaped for a woman's lower leg. For a performance boot at this flex, a proper fitting session with a pro bootfitter is worth it to get the heat-moldable shell and liner right. The BOA shell adds some fine-tuning room over the forefoot.
