the goose down is going to keep your heat in and the Gore-Tex will keep you dry. Wear some great base layer with this to get the best warmth possible.

Sizing was huge, XL was more like 3XL but the quality was unmatched. Waterproof and so warm. Great jacket.
Anyone know the difference btwn this model and the 2009?

So I bought this jacket not necessarily for snowboarding but more for its combination of down plus gortex. When I received the jacket I noticed there is not a large amount of down in it and it is overall thinner than I expected. It is not cold enough here yet for a good field test so I'm wondering: Will this coat stand up well against significantly cold weather for extended periods even if you are not being significantly active?

If it's anything like the Burton AK Flare jacket (women's) I'd have to say no. I bought it for the combo of Gore-Tex and down as well, but I have overall been disappointed.

Yes it does. Burton hasn't changed their sizing template for a while.

In a search for a cheaper version of the Patagonia Primo Down Jacket or the Cloudveil Koven Plus Down, I turned to the Burton AK 2L when it popped up on Brociety for $199. A steal by all means and a killer jacket for someone looking for a looser fitting version of the two aforementioned pieces.
I was crossing my fingers that this wasn't going to be too roomy, but it looks like even at a size Small I think this one will have to go back. I wear a size Small in Cloudveil gear and float between Small and Medium with Patagonia.
Regardless, it's a well-crafted jacket with some really nice features that will keep any East Coast skier warm, dry and happy all winter long. Clearly this is a 4 or 5 star jacket if you're looking for a larger fit.

Hi I am 6 foot 2, 160lbs, usually wear a size 40 jacket....should I be looking for a size Small or a medium on this jacket if sizes are running big? I mnormally buy a 'M' or 'L' size jacket depending upon the brand. Thanks

I would say go with the large. The burton AK stuff isnt cut large because its more performance orientated. I am 6'2 myself and I would buy a L or XL. For sure dont go with medium it will be too small.

Hey Pierre - I'm from Calgary, owned this jacket for 3+ years, best jacket ever... spent a night in the Sunshine backcountry blizzard on the side of a hill in it, and was just fine for warmth... only caution: order a size smaller than you usually get, I received an XL of the new model when I sent my old one back for a zipper problem, and it's absolutely gigantic on me!!!

Ripping jacket, warm and dry

Great jacket. Gore tex, windproof, warm. Great in colder climates like utah, jackson and montana. And of course AK.
great pockets, light weight jacket for the warrmth and long sleeves and drop skirt. Can snug up up all ssections and laugh at below zero powder while eveyone else runs.
It is big, I normally wear a L and got medium. But it fits great. Dont fear the price, worth every penny.
Oh, hit a few tree branches, no signs of wear, durable
i will answer my own question...i finally received this jacket and it does have pockets for your hands. why do people who do not have the correct answers post responses?

wear one thin layer when it's at 25-30 degrees. only once have i been cold in a -5 farenheit 30 mph wind cold vermont day. otherwise worn it in all sorts of conditions and it's been great. the medium is perfect I'm 5'9 170.
overall it's as advertised. if you don't want to layer up and want a lightweight sleeping bag warm jacket, this is it.
i'm 5' 8" with shirt size 16/33 and suit size 40.
i'm 5' 8" with shirt size 16/33 and suit size 40. should i order the medium or small? My dad has the Continuum down jacket in medium and that fits me snug.
By: sickasadog

If the continuum fits you snug in a Medium then I would suggest going with that same size.

Jacket is pretty large as other reviewers have stated. I am 6'4" 170 lbs and the medium is almost too big, but it's nice to have the extra length in the arms and torso. Jacket is extremely warm and comfortable, inside is very soft. The hood has great coverage and is also very warm, I don't even need a hat when I use it. It has a heavy duty zipper which is nice, but it doesn't have the smoothest operation.
In previous years, I wore a Burton size Medium. Other reviews
In previous years, I wore a Burton size Medium. Other reviews have stated this jacket fits longer/larger than before, so should I buy the small this year? I am 5'7" 135lbs. Thanks.

The hood is suppose to be able to work with a helmet. Unless you're lid is really big you should be good to go.This jacket is way too warm for hikes, unless you're hiking in massively cold weather.
