Women’s Burton [ak] Summit GORE‑TEX 2L Pants

Product Overview

The Women’s Burton [ak] Summit GORE‑TEX 2L Pants are built for riders who demand strong protection, clean mobility, and refined performance. With full waterproofing, thoughtful paneling, and a women’s‑specific fit, these pants tackle cold lifts, deep snow, and technical terrain without compromise.

Key Features & Technology

• GORE‑TEX 2‑Layer Shell Fabric — waterproof, windproof, breathable shell barrier that keeps you dry while letting vapor escape.

• Fully Taped Seams with GORE‑SEAM® Tape — critical seam zones sealed to block moisture and wind intrusion.

• Women’s Articulated Patterning — cut to accommodate female body curves and movement zones for enhanced comfort and range.

• Mesh‑Lined Side Zippers with Storm Flaps — full-length side zips for airflow, ventilation, and easy don/doff over boots.

• Internal Boot Gaiters with Gripper Elastic & Reinforced Cuffs — secure over boots to keep out snow; reinforced fabric resists abrasion.

• Low‑Profile Thigh / Cargo Pockets — discreet, zippered storage that remains accessible without bulk.

• Hem & Ankle Reinforcements / Kick Panels — heavy-duty fabric at lower legs for durability against edges, boots, and terrain abuse.

• Waist Adjustment System — side cinch tabs or adjustable waist system for a customized, layered fit.

• Jacket‑to‑Pant Interface — designed to mate with outer jackets, preventing snow ingress at the waistline during aggressive movement.

• Reflective Accents / Visibility Details — subtle reflective elements for better visibility in low‑light or stormy conditions.

• Durability Backing & Warranty — engineered for long-term use, with support for repair or replacement.

Why It’s Premium

The Summit 2L Pants combine a no-nonsense shell build with targeted reinforcement and rider‑oriented features. They deliver performance-level waterproofing in a women’s fit that moves and flexes with you. These aren’t just pants — they’re mountain tools, refined to hold up in real missions across seasons.

Fit Tip & Style Notes

• The fit is women’s articulated / relaxed — tailored to move with your body while allowing layering.

• Your regular waist/hip size usually works; size up if you layer heavily or prefer extra looseness.

• Hem and cuffs are cut for ride posture — expect coverage over boots even when crouched or stretching.

• Waist cinches let you fine-tune fit when switching layers or adjusting over long days.

• Patterning places panel intersections away from frequent bend zones, reducing pinching or fabric stress.

Size Guide

* Based on women’s outerwear sizing norms in Burton’s [ak] line.

Fit Checklist

• Buckle or cinch waist, then squat / bend — seams, zips should move without pulling

• With boots & gaiters on: inner gaiter should overlay boot tongue, outer hem should land appropriately

• Zip side vents — ensure smooth operation under mild tension

• Body motion (walking, squatting, climbing) should feel natural — no stitch stress at knees or thigh

Care Guide

1. Use a technical detergent designed for waterproof gear — avoid standard detergents or fabric softeners.

2. Close all zippers, flaps, and Velcro before washing.

3. Wash on a gentle warm cycle and rinse thoroughly to eliminate soap residue.

4. Tumble dry on low or apply gentle heat to help reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.

5. Reapply DWR when water ceases to bead — use spray‑on or wash‑in treatments suitable for shell fabrics.

6. Spot clean stains using a soft cloth and mild soap; avoid bleach or harsh scrubbing.

7. Fully dry before storage.

8. Store loosely or hang to avoid permanent fabric creases or stress.

9. Repair small damage early (tears, seam lift) with patches or seam sealer to preserve waterproof integrity.
