Burton [ak] Swash Synthetic Insulated GORE-TEX 2L Women's Jacket 2027 | True Black

Built-In Warmth for Cold Days in Serious Terrain.

The Burton [ak] Swash Synthetic Insulated GORE-TEX 2L Women's Jacket 2027 is built for days when a shell alone isn't enough. 60g PrimaLoft® Silver insulation is body-mapped to the chest and kidneys, so it's warm where you lose heat fastest and breathable where you don't, keeping you comfortable on cold approaches and stormy descents. The GORE-TEX 2L shell is windproof, waterproof and GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY™. True Black keeps it sleek and pairs with any pant or bib.

The rider-wrapped fit uses enhanced articulated patterning for freedom of movement, and Crossflow Venting™ with zippered side body vents stops you overheating when you're working hard. The full [ak] feature set adds a StormForm Fulltime Contour™ hood, RECCO® reflector, goggle/lens dump, exterior-access phone pocket and sleeve pocket with a detachable tethered scraper. Burton calls it one jacket for the whole mission.

Best for: women who ride cold days or run cold, and want an insulated GORE-TEX 2L snowboard jacket with core-focused warmth and the full [ak] feature set.

FAQs

What's the difference between the [ak] Swash and the [ak] Cyclic Women's Jacket?
The Swash is the insulated version, and the Cyclic is the shell. Both share the GORE-TEX 2L shell, rider-wrapped fit and [ak] feature set, including Crossflow Venting™, a RECCO® reflector and a sleeve pocket with a scraper. The Swash adds 60g body-mapped insulation in the chest and kidneys, lifting Burton's warmth rating from 0.7/5 on the Cyclic to 2.15/5. Choose the Swash if you ride cold days or run cold, and the Cyclic if you prefer to layer your own warmth.

How warm is the [ak] Swash Women's Jacket?
It's warm enough for most cold resort days with just a base layer underneath. Burton rates its warmth at 2.15/5, with both waterproofing and breathability at the maximum 5/5. The insulation sits in the chest and kidneys, where you lose heat fastest, and the rest of the jacket stays breathable. Add a light mid layer on bitterly cold days, and open the Crossflow Venting™ when you're working hard.

How do I choose my size for the [ak] Swash Women's Jacket?
Choose your size from your chest measurement using Burton's women's size chart. For example, a Small fits an 84–89cm chest, roughly an AU 8–10. It's a regular fit, not too tight and not too loose, with room for a base or light mid layer. For reference, Burton's model is 173cm and wears a Small. You can try it on at our Richmond showroom or call 03 9421 2293 for sizing advice.
