Burton is one of the leading brands within the snow industry worldwide. They are the leaders in technology and their gear is designed to perform. Keeping in mind that conditions at the snow can go from sunny, bluebird days to miserable gale-force winds within hours, the technology in both the hardware and outerwear is constantly evolving to make sure riders can stay out in any conditions. The Burton AK 3L Hover Jacket is an example of how much technology is used to make a jacket that is the lightweight and waterproof. With this jacket, Burton has teamed up with Gore-tex. Gore-tex is a waterproof fabric technology that stops any water from getting in but allows the fabric to breathe so perspiration doesn’t trap. It also has a balaclava-friendly Neck Gasket Collar and adjustable Powder Gasket Cuffs seal the perimeter from snow, cold, and wind, while a logical pocket array keeps essentials safely stowed for long days out on the snow.

Features:

Gore Seam tape Fully taped seams Full time contour hood Powder gasket cuffs Water repellent removable zip-out stretch waist gaiter YKK Matte water resistant zippers Neck gasket collar There is no denying this is one of the best jackets on the market made by one of the best brands. Suitable for everyone from backcountry enthusiasts to everyday riders, staying comfortable at the snow is about having the appropriate layers and this jacket is the ultimate in outer layer shell protection. Burton makes each layer you need to be warm and dry at the snow from gloves to thermals. What started at a snowboard company in the 1970's has grown to be a trusted snowboarding brand and market leader.
