When it comes to waterproof protection, you can’t beat Gore-Tex, and when it comes to warmth, you can’t beat down. Logic follows, then, that you can’t beat the Burton Women’s AK Flare Down Snowboard Jacket. Fully seam-taped Gore-Tex softshell fabric guarantees total dryness in the deeps, the slush, and your bathroom shower, and 650-fill down insulation keeps you warm—even when you’re night shredding amidst howling Canadian winds.

  • Insulation engineered to maintain mobility
  • Removable powder skirt keeps snow out of your layers
  • Jacket-to-pant zippered interface increases protection against snow
  • Underarm zippers provide ventilation when needed
  • Hem cinch cord seals out wind from the bottom

Bottom Line: Wet? Cold? What’s that?

Good, but could be better.

I bought this jacket because I wanted a down jacket that would work with the link-zip interface to my 2009 Burton AK 2L Summit pants. The jacket keeps me very dry, as expected, and it links to my pants beautifully. That said, there are a few things that I don't love about it... I wish there were more pockets. I am a fan of the goggle pocket in the chest and the map pocket on the arm. This jacket has neither. Also, I don't love the neck closure. It's too tall to sit under my chin when zipped but not quite tall enough to cover my mouth. It just sort of covers my chin (which is weird), so I end up having to use a neckwarmer on cold days to protect my face. Also, it really could be a bit warmer. I haven't found a jacket that is better suited to my needs, so I guess I'm relatively happy with it, but it's definitely not as perfect as I had hoped.
