  • Four-way-stretch shell with 3-layer Gore-Tex membrane for amazing freedom of movement and guaranteed waterproof performance
  • AK articulated fit moves with you while hiking, skinning, or riding
  • Gore-Seam tape for a complete seal against the elements without adding unnecessary weight

  • YKK water-resistant zippers keep your stowed items dry and safe
  • Jacket-to-pant interface attaches to any Burton pants to keep your powder skirt in place

It's a gore tex pro shell with some stretch. That's nice and will breathe and keep you dry. Burton's style is fantastic so that's a plus. However, the cut is smaller than other AK models (Hover) and this jacket does not have HAND POCKETS. WTF?! It has an internal ipod pocket, a pass pocket, but no hand pockets?! Save $50 and get the hover- it has more pockets, a better fit, and a few more nice features than this jacket. For $600 I want a shell I can wear and use 4 seasons, out in the field or out around town. Without hand pockets this jacket falls far from the hype.

oh I got you. I know what a backcountry jacket is. I'm just not impressed with a $600 price tag for what is offered. I also do not agree that junk in my pockets slows me down. What slows me down is having to take off a pack to get something when I could have used a pocket on my jacket. Personally, I like to own one shell for mixed use, not have a backcountry specific jacket. That's all my review states.

I received this jacket as a part of my participation in the Gore-tex MountainTechs program. This is a great jacket-the construction is second to none. I found it to be cut a little large to my liking, but I am more a fan of athletic cut jackets. I gave it to my brother and he absolutely loves it as he is more accustomed to a "snowboarder" cut than me. He raves about the jacket, and always gets compliments.

Tyson-

This jacket dose not have a built in waist gator. I jacket is meant to live with the AK 3 L Bib Pant and also meant to be as light as possible. What you will get with this jacket is lightweight packable design, articulated elbows and shoulders to move with you body's natural movement. This is a Pro shell 3 layer with a bit of stretch. You will get pit zips, fully tapped seams and a zippered bellowed chest pockets to accommodate climbing skins. Also all Burton AK product has a lifetime warranty.
