Burton AK 3L Hover Softshell Pant - Men's

Item #BUR2141 | 0 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Super light weight and waterproof!

By Ranked #10 - Men's Snowboard Pants February 7, 2010

I bought these mid season this year and have put in a handful of days in these so far. First off, these pants are super light and very comfortable to wear. The Gore-Tex is more of a softshell laminate than it is an actual shell. Much softer than the corresponding Hover jacket that I own as well. The Burton Sig fit is perfect, enough bagginess that gives you good room to move around in, but not gangsta big. A large fits my frame (6'1, 185) perfectly. They're obviously super waterproof, as all Gore-Tex is and have kept me perfectly warm with a good base layer underneath. As others have said, there is is no mesh on the vents, but that is hardly a reason to knock the pants. I mean, if your vents are open even with a mesh liner, you'll still get a bit of snow in there anyway, right? All in all, these pants are awesome.
