Burton [ak] Freebird GORE-TEX 2L Bib Pant — 2026 (Summit Taupe)
Ultralight stormproof mobility — for split missions, deep days, and backcountry freedom.
When the snow stacks high and the approach goes long, you need outerwear that keeps moving — not fighting you. The Burton [ak] Freebird GORE-TEX 2L Bib is built exactly for that. Lightweight. Storm-ready. Breathable enough to climb in. Durable enough to charge down through chest-deep powder without hesitation.
This is the bib for backcountry riders, splitboard tourers, and anyone who wants reliable waterproofing, long-day breathability, and unrestricted movement without the weight of insulated bulk.
Just layer smart, lock your suspenders in, and go where chairlifts don’t.
TECH BREAKDOWN — 2-Layer Design Built for All-Season Missioning
• GORE-TEX 2-Layer Shell Construction
Industry-standard waterproofing with a free-moving feel. Weatherproof + fully windproof without the stiffness of 3L membranes. Ideal for touring + resort riding with flexible layering.
• 40D–70D Fabric Weight Mix (Upper vs Lower)
Light up top for mobility. Reinforced lower legs for abrasion, boot rub and crampon/shovel impact resistance.
• Uninsulated Layering System
Built as a true shell — customise warmth via baselayers + puffys depending on mission. One bib for storms, spring corn, and everything between.
• Fully Taped GORE-SEAM® Construction
Every seam sealed. Zero moisture creep.
Snow stays out, heat escapes when you vent.
• Mapped Breathability Zones
Breathable torso panels + high-airflow legs help regulate sweat climbing skin tracks or boot-packing ridgelines.
• Crossflow Venting™ (Thigh + Inner Vents)
Dump heat instantly. Tour long without overheating, ride harder without soaking layers.
• Stretch-Articulated Fit
Crouch, crank, skin, ollie — mobility is the core purpose. Patterning is designed for riding athletic stance, not standing still.
• RECCO® Reflector Built-In
Searchable passive-rescue tech for added safety beyond the rope line.
• Drop-Seat Zip Access
No full-kit removal required. Functional comfort when nature calls mid-tour.
• Anti-Scuff Cuffs + Cuff Elevator System
Keep your hems alive longer. No heel drag, no edge-cut blowouts.
• Beacon-Compatible Pockets
Internal mesh + secure anchor point to avoid bounce. Safety gear stays tight, accessible, ready.
• YKK® Water-Resistant Zippers Throughout
Storm-sealed points = no weak entry points.
• Lifetime Warranty
Burton backs this with the long-haul guarantee.
