FAQs

Is the Burton [ak] Cyclic Women's 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 do I choose my size for the [ak] Cyclic 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 layering. For reference, Burton's model is 175cm and wears a Small. You can try it on at our Richmond showroom or call 03 9421 2293 for sizing advice.

Is the [ak] Cyclic Women's Jacket good for backcountry riding?
Yes. It has a RECCO® reflector, a backpack-friendly design, Crossflow Venting™ with side body vents for managing heat on the climb, and a sleeve pocket with a detachable scraper. Burton built it for riders who don't wait for a good forecast, in bounds or out. A RECCO® reflector helps rescue teams with RECCO® detectors locate you, but it's not a replacement for carrying an avalanche transceiver, probe and shovel.
