When testers with the widest feet and biggest calf testers join testers with the narrowest feet and slimmest calf in agreement, we know something special happened. The Hawx 100 is as universal a fit as you can find. So many of our testers feel ideally contained, neither cramped nor loose. It just works for all of 'em, skiing with enthusiasm all over the mountain.
More than any other Atomic we tested, it seemed to improve after undergoing the 12-minute Memory Fit heating process. Testers described fit easing exactly where needed; several noted a more even and better seated feeling in the heel pocket. One tester marked down perfect scores on the stock test; after heating she said it was "more perfect."
The Hawx 100 W manages to ski stronger than expected given its cushy-warm interior and gold eyelets on the power strap (which our testers felt excessively glitzy). Most felt it rode with great stability and delivered more horsepower than its marked 100 flex. More predictable and cruiser-like than lightning quick, one tester said it was able to “go for it everywhere with spunk.”
