Ranked #431 - Women's Snowboard Jackets
March 28, 2011
AK cant be beat. Waterproof - windproof - breathable. It's great quality. And this years model is at least a few inches longer than previous years. And I would argue it fits bigger than previous year models - which is nice. Not sure who Burton is making these jackets for - but I think they fit awkwardly on almost everyone that I have seen wearing them (except for the least curvy of girls).
AK lasts forever - so get a color that you can live with for a long time.
The olive is a little brighter than it looks in the picture.
