Burton AK 3L Hover Jacket - Men's

When Burton handed the AK 3L Hover Jacket to their pro riders, they were blown away. Using Gore-Tex fabric and minimalist design, the AK 3L Hover delivers Burton's highest level of storm protection Want to ride in the rain, a blizzard, or under a blue sky? Do it. Burton taped the seams with 8mm tiny tape to guarantee not a drop gets through the AK 3L Hover Jackets waterproof armor, even though this jacket weighs next to nothing. In warmer conditions, unzip this Burton shell's Crossflow Air Injection system. The system connects four strategically placed vents into a single wind tunnel to distribute air throughout the entire interior. Burton finished off the 3L Hover Jacket by giving it a Pass Pocket, waist gaiter, and micro fleece lined handwarmer pockets. *Available for US shipment only.

Bottom Line: The Burton AK 3L Hover Jacket—next level technology for every rider.

Best For Extreme Conditions

By: Peter G (2)
February 10, 2008

What can I say about Burton's AK 3L Hover Jacket? This jacket delivers in extreme conditions! The jacket has no insulation and I've used it with a fleece pullover over a t-shirt over a long T and I was warm and dry when I was shreding at Seven Springs weeks ago. But, I seriously think the BK Insulator Jacket works even better when worn under this jacket. The vents in the back are so awesome for snowboarding, even better than pit vents. The price is a steep but you have to pay for both purpose and fashion.
