Burton AK 2L Gore-tex Cyclic Jacket - Men's

Item #BUR3109 | 68 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Good jacket, keeps the snow away

By Ranked #29 - Men's Snowboard Jackets February 12, 2009

I bought this jacket because I was looking for something to replace my tired-looking North Face shell. I just spent three days riding through deep powder in this thing, and I was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked. The length is definitely the best feature. For the first time ever, I didn't have any snow-down-yer-pants: I didn't think this was possible! The pockets are plentiful and well-laid out. The jacket has more generous fit than I would prefer (especially when compared to other brands). The hood is large enough to fit over my helmet, which is great. The jacket's neck is tall enough that it could replace my separate neck gaiter on days where it's not bitter cold. The jacket is just a shell, but I didn't need more layers than normal to maintain my usual comfort level. Overall, I'm happy that I bought this and I would recommend it to others.
