Burton AK 2L Cyclic Gore-Tex Jacket - Men's
Meh

Ok jacket but really not worth the price IMO. Waterproofing is adequate, very light jacket that is warm with the right layers. Burton AK clothing seems to be going downhill as of late, with the price doing the opposite. Had an AK jacket just about every year for the past 5-6 seasons, 2 of them had stitching problems(including last years cyclic), and after trying arc'teryx and oakley jackets I can say with confidence this will be the last AK I every buy. The Velcro cuffs Burton AK jackets have at the moments are garbage, don't count on the velcro sticking after 2+ days on the mountain. I would give this jacket 4-4.5 stars if it was priced around $200, but $300+ is a joke. MUCH better jackets out there.
