Atomic Nexus 120 BOA Ski Boot - 2027 Dark Slate/Black, 27.0/27.5

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I have been waiting for a boot that skis like a 120 but doesn't punish you for wearing it all day, and the Nexus 120 BOA Ski Boot is exactly that. The entry system is genuinely effortless compared to a traditional overlap boot, and the 102mm last gives wider feet the room they need without the boot feeling sloppy underfoot. The BOA closure dials in evenly and quickly, which I appreciated on cold mornings when fine motor skills aren't at their best.""The idea that a ski boot has to be miserable to be powerful is one the Atomic Nexus 120 BOA Ski Boot is happy to put to rest. Built around a 120 flex that aggressive all-mountain skiers can genuinely lean on, it pairs that stiffness with a high-volume 102mm last and an entry system engineered to make getting in and out as effortless as possible. This is not a comfort boot that happens to have a high flex number. It is a performance boot that takes the daily friction out of skiing without giving anything back. The BOA dial closure brings smooth, even tension across the lower shell with a single pull, and the two-buckle system keeps the cuff locked and secure once you are in. The high-volume fit suits wider feet and skiers who have long settled for a boot that never quite felt right, and the meticulous engineering throughout means the roomy fit does not come at the cost of response or precision when the terrain demands it."
