Ride Hard. Ride Often. Build Your Kit Around It.

Burton calls it [ak]'s best 2-layer shell and its most feature-complete riding shell jacket, built for riders who ride hard and ride often. A GORE-TEX 2L shell that is windproof, waterproof and GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY™ meets a rider-wrapped fit for unrestricted movement through a full day of hard charging. Chinchilla Gray is a clean, versatile grey that anchors any kit.

Crossflow Venting™ and zippered side body vents manage heat when you're earning turns. The StormForm Fulltime Contour™ hood seals out the storm. Mission-ready details include a RECCO® reflector, an exterior-access phone pocket, a goggle and lens dump, and a sleeve pocket with a detachable tethered scraper. Burton says this is the shell you build your [ak] kit around.

Best for: riders who want a do-everything GORE-TEX 2L snowboard jacket with serious venting, smart storage and backcountry-ready details for resort laps and side-country missions.

FAQs

What's new on the 2027 Burton [ak] Cyclic Jacket?
The 2027 Cyclic is a redesign. Pit zips are replaced by Crossflow Venting™ with zippered side body vents. It adds a RECCO® reflector, an exterior-access phone pocket, a sleeve pocket with a detachable scraper, a goggle/lens dump pocket and a backpack-friendly design. The lining is now recycled taffeta mapped with perforated taffeta, replacing the previous Living Lining®. The GORE-TEX 2L protection, StormForm hood, powder skirt and Lifetime Warranty all carry over.

Is the [ak] Cyclic Jacket warm enough on its own?
No, it's an uninsulated shell, so warmth comes from your layers. Burton rates its warmth at 0.7/5, and both waterproofing and breathability at the maximum 5/5. Wear a base layer on mild spring days and add a fleece or puffy mid layer for cold mornings. The regular fit leaves room for layering, and Crossflow Venting™ lets heat out when you're working hard.

How does the [ak] Cyclic Jacket fit?
It's a regular fit, not too tight and not too loose, with room for layering and articulated patterning for movement. Size from your chest measurement on Burton's chart; for example, a Large fits a 104–109cm chest. For reference, Burton's model is 180cm and wears a Large. You can try it on at our Richmond showroom or call 03 9421 2293 for sizing advice.
