Riding through fresh powder will often feel like you're floating through clouds, or hanging like a drone in the sky. The Burton AK 3L GORE-TEX® Hover Jacket has a similar feel. This lightweight shell packs a punch when it comes to winter-weather protection. 3-layer GORE-TEX®, 40D Gore Micro Grid Backer, and fully seam tape with GORE-SEAM® seals you off from the elements, keeping you capable of taking on a blizzard. Its articulated fit makes movement much more manageable, keeping you in unrestricted whether you're hiking uphill or barreling down the mountain. The Burton AK 3L GORE-TEX® Hover Jacket helps you master the day and the mountain at all times.
GORE-TEX® 3-Layer Pro Shell Plain Weave Fabric with 40D Gore Mirco Grid Backer
GORE-TEX® Pro 3L Membrane – Ideal for a wide range of outdoor activites, the GORE-TEX® Membrane is bonded to the outer fabric only. The benefit: the separate lining inside improves wearing comfort and versatility.
Articulated Fit – A performance-oriented fit, 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].
Internal Welded Media Pocket
Internal Dump Pocket – This large, easily accessible internal pocket is made with lightweight, breathable mesh and offers the perfect spot to store and carry various pieces of on-hill paraphernalia.
Powder Gasket Cuffs
Ergonomic Water-Repellent Zip-Out Stretch Waist Gaiter with Jacket-to-Pant Interface – Engineered for the movements of snowboarding, this ergonomic waist gaiter seals out snow and cold like never before, and is removable for customizing performance. The longer back creates an ergonomic fit, articulating with your body for an interface that stays locked in all day long.
Internal Abrasion Resistant Tape on Critical Wear Zones
YKK® Matte Water-Resistant Zippers – The entire [ak] outerwear line features custom-branded YKK® matte water-resistant zippers for smoother performance, better drape, a cleaner finish, increased strength, and superior protection from the elements.
Neck Gasket Collar – Block out winter's worst by cinching the Neck Gasket Collar close to your face. The double-layer tricot provides a soft, comfortable feel along the neck while cinched tight, and the adjustable collar lets you fine-tune the fit around a facemask.
StormForm Fulltime Contour™ Hood – No two heads are alike, but the new design of the StormForm Hood masters the many elements of protection and fit precision. The contoured shape fits perfectly over helmets and integrates seamlessly with goggles, while still allowing space for neck gaiters and clavas. Enhanced biomechanics move rotationally without creating frontside or backside blind spots.
Micro Adjust Cinch – This rugged, quick-release cord lock is designed for maximum tightening power and resilience throughout the lifetime of the jacket. A quick pull of the glove-friendly shock cord is all it takes to easily tighten your hood and fine-tune the fit for a tight snow and wind-blocking seal.
Cohaesive™ Embedded Hood Cinch – A revolution in cord management, this bomber and ultra-streamline system integrates pull-cord hardware directly to the outerwear fabric, making hood adjustment simple and precise -- even eith gloves of mittens on.
