A SKI TOURING HELMET THAT CAN DO IT ALL

For the 22-23 season Atomic presents its first ever ski touring helmet with the same tone-setting innovative ingenuity as usual. The Backland helmet is a lightweight touring model certified for winter sports, climbing, and cycling. It not only provides superior protection, but it also comes with no compromise in fit and functionality. That said, it offers the best possible comfort for skimo athletes and demanding ski tourers alike, while being lightweight and equipped with all the important features. With its Shocksense Sensor the Backland CTD version even features an SOS alert function and evaluates the impact of a crash on the helmet integrity.

A ski touring helmet must be as light as possible and well ventilated – a task that most conventional ski helmets cannot live up to. Depending on the type (all-round tourer, ski mountaineer or freeride tourer), ski tourers, however, have further needs hardly any ski touring helmet has been able to meet entirely – until now. Following intensive internal research and development at Atomic, the Backland helmet has been created to fill that void: a super-lightweight touring model in various versions meeting all the requirements of ski touring.

Whether you’re on an after-work tour night climb or on the last descent after a tough multi-day tour stage: protection can never be compromised, because protecting your head is essential, anytime, and anywhere. With AMID, Holo Core construction, and Shocksense technology, the different variants of the Backland helmet offer exactly the protection you need to be your best in the mountains. It is so comfortable and lightweight you hardly feel it, and that’s exactly what will make you wear it when it matters – every time. In addition, it is built with the intelligent 360º Fit System, allowing adjustment on every axis, and ensuring a perfect custom fit right out of the box. Fueled by ski touring technology and expertise in developing ski helmets, the Backland range delivers high-end performance. With multi-norm certification, the Backland helmets meet safety standards for skiing, climbing, and cycling. In short, they are made for the mountains.
