Description
The Atomic Hawx Prime 95 BOA W is a women's all-mountain ski boot on a 100mm medium-volume last, tuned for groomer-to-all-mountain cruising rather than hard charging. Flex is 95 on Atomic's women's scale, the lower shell closes with a BOA H+i1 single-pull dial, and Memory Fit heat-molds the shell, cuff and liner.
That 100mm last is shared with the unisex Hawx Prime; what makes this the women's model is not the width but three official changes — a low cuff on every size for a lower calf, Atomic's True Size Mondopoint 22 reference, and the W-line liner. The single BOA dial takes over from the two lower buckles, leaving a pair of aluminum buckles on the cuff, and the Mimic Silver liner arrives pre-shaped at the ankle and heel. Forward lean is fixed at 15°, and a removable AFS spoiler frees calf room.
It fits intermediate to casual-advanced women with an average-width foot and a taller instep. Narrow, low-volume feet run loose here and belong in the narrower Hawx Ultra W; skiers chasing a firm cuff on hardpack should move up to the stiffer 105 S or 115 S; and anyone after adjustable lean or a walk mode should look elsewhere, since this alpine boot offers neither. Wider feet suit the Hawx Magna.
Its sole is a Cantable GripWalk pad to ISO 23223, so a technician should confirm it against your bindings before the boot is skied — part of a PTO fitting, alongside measuring your feet and molding the liner. It lists at $790 and sits on the 95 rung of Atomic's W flex ladder, below the S-flex 105 and 115 and above the 85. No independent on-snow test of this 26/27 boot surfaced, so the feel notes here lean on the wider Hawx Prime W platform and Atomic's positioning, not on PTO skiing this pair.

Atomic Hawx Prime 95 BOA W
Hawx Prime family · 26/27BOA
Flex 95
StiffLast Width
100mm— Medium (100–101mm)
The Hawx Prime 95 BOA W earns its keep on comfort, not on power. It is a women's all-mountain boot that steps on easily, molds to a wide spread of feet, and cruises groomers without complaint — but the flex-95 upper is forgiving, and it eases off under a hard edge in firm snow or ice.
The figure that matters most is the width, and it is not women's-only: the 100mm medium-volume last is the same one under the unisex Prime. What marks this as the W model is a shorter cuff on every size, the True Size Mondopoint 22 sizing baseline, plus the W-line liner — not a narrower last. Retail fit notes place it on average-width feet with an average-to-taller instep, and since Memory Fit molds shell, cuff and liner while the AFS spoiler pulls out for calf room, a fitter can carry the shape a long way toward one foot.
Closure is where the dial earns its place: one H+i1 pull tensions the forefoot more evenly than a lower buckle and re-sets mid-run with gloves on, while two aluminum buckles hold the cuff. The Mimic Silver liner is heat-moldable and comes pre-molded through the ankle and heel to seat the heel — it is the entry liner of the W range, with Gold and Platinum reserved for the stiffer S boots.
About that flex: 95 is Atomic's own women's number and will not line up with a 95 stamped by another brand. The Prime W chassis has a reputation for a soft-edged, forgiving upper, and on hardpack some skiers will want more push from the cuff than it returns. Read the feel notes as a take on the platform and Atomic's own all-mountain billing.
Where it sits in the line is clear. For a stiffer cuff with adjustable lean, step up to the 105 S or 115 S; for something softer, the 85 sits below it in the line. Narrow, low-volume feet fit the Hawx Ultra W (~98mm) far better than this medium last; wider, higher-volume feet want the Hawx Magna (~102mm). One thing to settle before skiing: the sole is a GripWalk pad rated ISO 23223, so a technician has to check it against the bindings you ski. And Atomic prints no per-size weight — the one figure is 1,782 g per boot, at the 24/24.5 reference size.
Strengths
- +BOA H+i1 dial closes fast with even, glove-friendly forefoot pressure
- +Memory Fit molds shell, cuff and liner to the foot
- +100mm medium-volume last fits average-width feet with taller insteps
- +Low cuff and a removable AFS spoiler tune calf fit
- +Mimic Silver liner is pre-shaped at ankle and heel to lock the heel
Best For
Women skiing groomers and mixed snow who want comfort and an even, easy BOA closure on a medium-volume foot — intermediate to casual-advanced. Best after a heat-mold to lock the fit in.
Limitations
- −Flex 95 upper is forgiving — modest cuff power on firm snow
- −Forward lean fixed at 15°, with no adjustment
- −No walk mode — it is an alpine boot
- −100mm medium volume runs loose on narrow, low-volume feet
- −Per-size weight unpublished — the one figure is 1,782 g per boot
Not For
Narrow, low-volume feet, which run loose on this medium 100mm last and fit the narrower Hawx Ultra W better. Aggressive skiers driving a hard edge on ice — a flex of 95 with a forgiving upper is a cruiser's, and the 105 S or 115 S deliver more cuff power. Anyone who needs adjustable forward lean, since this model is fixed at 15°, or a walk mode, which an alpine boot like this does not have. Wide, high-volume feet are better in the Hawx Magna.
Common Questions
- What is the difference between the Hawx Prime 95 BOA W and the 105 S BOA W?
- Both sit on the same 100mm medium-volume last with a BOA H+i1 lower. The 105 S is stiffer at a flex of 105, adds Power Shift adjustable forward lean and the higher-tier Mimic Gold liner, and leans toward firmer snow; the 95 keeps a fixed lean and the Mimic Silver liner and is tuned for comfort. Pick the 95 for an easy, forgiving fit, the 105 S for more cuff power.
- Do the GripWalk soles on the Hawx Prime 95 BOA W work with my bindings?
- It has GripWalk pads to ISO 23223. A GripWalk sole is not compatible with every alpine binding, so have a technician check your specific binding at fitting before you ski. That check is part of a proper boot fitting, and we do it in the shop.
- Is the Hawx Prime 95 BOA W right for narrow or wide feet?
- It runs a 100mm medium-volume last, so it suits average-width feet. Narrow, low-volume feet will feel loose and do better in the Hawx Ultra W; wide, high-volume feet in the Hawx Magna. Memory Fit and shell punching fine-tune a borderline fit, but they adjust a fit rather than rebuild the last — get shell-fitted before you buy.
- Is the Hawx Prime 95 BOA W a beginner boot?
- A flex of 95 is intermediate to casual-advanced, not a true beginner flex, but the comfort-first fit and even BOA closure make it approachable for a progressing intermediate. A first-season skier who wants the softest option should look at the 85; a stronger, harder-charging skier at the 105 S.
