The Burton AK 3L Hover Jacket is an ultra-light, packable GORE-TEX® shell that's built for surviving everything the mountain dishes out. Fully GORE-SEAM® taped 3L fabric seals out hammering storms, but allows the body to breathe when bootpacking up or ripping down. A logical pocket array keeps essentials safely stowed for long days on the mountain. Pit Zips™ efficiently dump heat to prevent overheating while Powder Gasket Cuffs seal out snow when strapping in or shoveling. No wonder this is the top choice for mountain professionals worldwide.
