GORE-TEX 2L – Products engineered with GORE-TEX fabric are durably waterproof, windproof, and highly breathable — enduring products that maximize comfort and protection during activity.
Living Lining™ Mapped with Soft Taffeta and Closed Cell Mesh – Cold mornings to sunny afternoons, fast turns to slow chairlifts—a day on the hill is filled with extremes. Burton’s Living Lining offers automatic climate control without added bulk or weight, so the one thing you can count on is consistent comfort. When you’re warm, breathable pores on the Living Lining expand to release excess warmth and prevent overheating. When you’re cold, breathable pores on the Living Lining shrink to trap body heat and keep you warmer for longer.
Slim Articulated Fit – A performance-oriented, articulated fit with cutlines and patterning engineered to mimic the body’s natural flex while riding and hiking. The result is a higher degree of mobility that enhances the function‑first design and style of [ak].
