Using many features of the top-end models in the range, the Hawx Prime XTD 100 HT is an excellent introduction in to the world of BC ski boots providing performance, comfort and excellent value. Prolite construction uses different thicknesses of shell wall to balance lightweight with power and control. The Free/Lock hike and ski system provides 54deg of motion, ease of use and, thanks to the way it integrates the Energy Backbone, precise ski control. Memory Fit on the shell means it can be heat moulded to even more closely match the foot shape; the 3D Silver Touring liner takes a mould of the heel and ankle area for the best comfort and control. Comes with GripWalk soles and tech insoles at the toes (not at the heel) so it can be used with a range of bindings.
Ability Level
Overview
Fit
An average fit on the rearfoot with generous forefoot width and a medium to high instep.
Shell
Prolite PU Memory Fit shell with PU Memory Fit cuff, mouldable. The advanced heat fitting technology of Memory Fit creates a fully personalised shell and cuff in minutes. The key is Memolink, a special additive that improves the mouldability and stretch characteristics of the plastic. The boot shell is heated in an oven, then the skier's foot is placed inside the complete boot whilst it cools. With the foot's natural standing pressure, the forefoot of the boot can expand up to 3mm per side and the ankle area up to 5mm per side.
Liner
3D Silver with Touring Flex Zone, mouldable. Thermoformable material is used in the heel and ankle areas. The liner is heated in an oven and is cooled to form to the shape of the skier's feet. 3D means pre-shaped heel and ankles areas for better foot hold and comfort. A special construction in the rear of the liner allows it to flex backwards for a more comfortable range of motion when the walk mode is being used.
Key Features
Free/Lock 4.0
Flick from ski to walk mode with one simple switch. In walk mode they offer an epic cuff movement. In the ski setting you can choose 13o/150/17o via the adjustable forward lean.
Frictionless Pivot
Igus polymer bushings provide a completely natural movement for effortless ascents.
Energy Backbone
The Energy Backbone is a reinforced, asymmetric backbone that provides extra strength for powerful skiing plus enhanced lateral energy transmission for better edge grip.
Prolite
Prolite is a way of building skis and boots that turns traditional thinking on its head. Instead of starting with a standard construction and cutting material away to save weight, Prolite does the opposite. It starts with the slimmest possible profile and then it builds up reinforcements in key areas where strength is needed.
