Burton [ak] Cyclic GORE-TEX 2L Men's Jacket 2026 | Jake Blue / True Black

Burton [ak] GORE‑TEX Cyclic 2L Men’s Jacket 2026 — Jake Blue / True Black

Product Overview

A top‑tier shell built for riders who demand elite weather protection without bulk. The 2026 Burton [ak] GORE‑TEX Cyclic 2L Jacket blends serious technical performance with a sharp, down‑to‑ride aesthetic — ideal for storm‑punching lines or shredding in unpredictable alpine conditions. This is snowboard outerwear for the rider who refuses to back down.

Key Features & Technology

• GORE‑TEX 2‑Layer Membrane — waterproof, windproof and breathable; the membrane is bonded to the face fabric to maintain a sleek shell structure while letting internal liners breathe.

• Fully Taped Seams / GORE‑SEAM Tape — all critical seams sealed to prevent ingress of snow or water.

• StormForm Fulltime Contour™ Hood — helmet‑compatible, with embedded cinch adjustment and hood length control for optimal coverage and vision.

• Mesh‑Lined No‑Snag Pit Zip Vents — underarm zips that dump heat rapidly without catching on layers.

• Ergonomic Stretch Zip‑Out Waist Gaiter with Jacket‑to‑Pant Interface — seals out snow at the waist, removable for customization.

• No‑Lift Underarm Gussets — engineered cut that keeps the shell from riding up when arms are raised.

• 200D Durability Side Panels — reinforced panels in high‑wear zones to resist abrasion.

• YKK® Water‑Resistant Zippers — durable zip hardware throughout shell.

• Internal Lining: Living Lining® + Soft Taffeta & Closed Cell Mesh — mapped liner structure that responds to body temperature and supports internal moisture movement.

• Pocket Arsenal
    • Zip chest pocket
    • Zip bicep / pass pocket
    • Microfleece handwarmer pockets
    • Interior power mesh dump pocket
    • Zippered media/goggle pocket with a Therma‑Pocket to keep electronics from freezing

• Performance Patterning / Articulated Fit — cutlines and shaping designed around natural body flex for riding and movement.

• Sustainability / Approvals — uses Bluesign®‑approved materials where possible to reduce environmental impact.

• Lifetime Warranty — backed by Burton’s repair/replacement policy.

Why It’s Premium

This isn’t just a shell — it’s a performance instrument. From the GORE‑TEX membrane to the nuanced liner mapping and reinforced panels, every inch is engineered. The tech is real, not buzz. The materials are high-end. The design is precise. Riders investing in this jacket expect it to perform season after season — and Burton backs it.

Fit Tip & Style Notes

• The fit is regular articulated — not overly slim, not baggy, with shaping for mobility.

• If you prefer layering heavy midlayers or insulating pieces, sizing up may give you extra breathing room.

• For a sleek silhouette or for street-to-mountain blending, your usual size will often work best.

• Riders with long torsos or arms may prefer sizing up to ensure length.

• The articulated patterning allows for natural movement; don’t let slightly longer sleeves off the hanger change your perception.

Size Guide

* These ranges are drawn from typical Burton outerwear charts and retailer specs for AK Cyclic variants.

Fit Checklist

• With arms raised, jacket hem should not lift excessively

• Zip fully and move through dynamic stretches (twists, squats)

• The hood should remain functional with your helmet

• Pockets should align comfortably with hand position when strapped in

Care Guide

1. Use a technical wash (no fabric softener) designed for waterproof gear (e.g. Nikwax Tech Wash, Grangers).

2. Secure all zippers, velcro and flaps, and wash on a warm, gentle cycle.

3. Rinse thoroughly to remove soap residue that can clog membranes.

4. Reactivate DWR (Durable Water Repellent) by tumble‑drying low or using a dryer with a clean tennis ball — heat helps restore water beading.

5. If water starts soaking rather than beading, apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment.

6. Spot-clean stains gently (soft sponge, mild soap), avoid aggressive scrubbing over membrane zones.

7. Always store fully dry — never fold wet or damp — and avoid long‑term compression in tight spaces.

8. Address small injuries (tears, seam delamination) early using repair patches or seam sealer.
