Burton AK 2L Cyclic Jacket - Men's - 2007

Great lightweight jacket. Perfect for spring days or even just those rainy days when you're not out riding. Has all of Burton's great "gadget" features like google pocket and ipod pocket, pass pocket, pant to jacket interface, etc. The lining really slides nicely agaist base layers too making your range of movement feel great.

The only thing I didnt like about the jacket is its cut VERY slim. I have several Burton jackets in XL that fit just fine but this one makes me feel like a fatass...

After getting pelted by heavy wet snow last season and getting sick because my jacket was not Gore-Tex I decided to up my gear. I did a lot of research in regards to Gore-Tex jackets and this jacket is by far the least expensive on the market. It is very hard to find a snowboarding Gore-Tex jacket that is less than $300. I have put it to the test on the Appalacians, Rockies and at Tahoe and it far surpassed my expectations. Simplicity at its best. Throw on a midweight or expedition-weight first layer and you are set. It was so nice that I bought it twice. I have it in Red Rock and picked up the True Black. Also it is a snowboarder-specific jacket designed by one of the elite snowboard companies and it has a lifetime warranty. Just get it and never worry about a wet day again.

I ordered a size large. It felt small to me around the waist. My current jacket is the Analog Boundary Jacket and it fits great. I just re-ordered a size XL hopes that fit better. And for the pit vents it's true what people have mentioned. It's gonna take a little getting use to. This website is the best.

I think this jacket is awesome. Simple styling, Gore-Tex for under 300.00, and good construction. The person who thought the jacket was too long apparently doesn't snowboard. You need a long jacket when reaching up and spinning. I hiked up Mt. Mansfield in sleet and stayed dry and didn't sweat at all. The pit zips are a little stiff, but loosen up after about a day.
