Burton AK Outerwear

Burton AK is the top of the Burton outerwear range — the gear built for riders who push into the backcountry and need kit that performs when conditions turn serious. GORE-TEX construction, technical fit, and the build quality that comes from Burton's decades of mountain R&D. At Twelve Board Store we stock the AK range as an authorised Burton dealer, shipping free Australia-wide.

What Makes AK Different

AK (named for Alaska, the proving ground for big-mountain riding) is where Burton puts its best outerwear technology. Where the standard Burton range covers everyday resort riding, AK is engineered for high-output, high-exposure days — touring, backcountry, storm riding. Expect premium GORE-TEX membranes for waterproofing and breathability, articulated technical fits that move with you, and detailing like pit zips, helmet-compatible hoods and pass pockets designed by people who actually ride this terrain.

The AK line is built around different tiers — from the lighter, breathable Cyclic and Swash pieces through to the burliest Hover and Tusk shells for the worst conditions. If you ride hard, ride often, or head out of bounds, this is the outerwear that keeps up.

How to Choose AK Outerwear

The right AK piece depends on how and where you ride. For resort days with the odd hike, a mid-tier 2L or 3L GORE-TEX jacket balances warmth and breathability. For touring and backcountry, lighter, more breathable 3L shells let you move without overheating on the climb. Layering underneath matters — AK is built to run as part of a system. Our outerwear buying guide walks through fit and layering, and what GORE-TEX actually does explains why it's worth it.

The guys at Twelve Boards just helped me to purchase three new Carver surf skates for my self and two sons, they helped advise me on what would work best for all of us as we are all at different heights, weights and ability levels, unlike other shops/websites you get to talk with experienced people that know their stuff. I got a great price and the boards turned up quickly and packed really well with no damage. Couldn’t be happier with the service and gear, very happy to recommend this business to anyone interested in these sort of sports. My next purchase will be snowboards and I will be going through Twelve Boards for that purchase also. Great shop.

Jones Howler 160W

There is a reason I always keep coming back to Twelve, the service and the brands. The team are super helpful, patient and don't push their preferences, they listen to your needs and experiences and help you decide from there.
Had a couple of Jones boards previously and they recommended the Howler. Who am I to say no!
