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

Wearable Art. Serious Warmth. Full [ak].

The Burton [ak] Swash Synthetic Insulated GORE-TEX 2L Women's Jacket 2027 in Nimbus brings an artist collab to a technical [ak] jacket. Textile artist Zhinh created the cloud-like Nimbus print with bleach and hand-dyed fabric, inspired by landscapes and the universe. Burton says it's the first artistic collab for [ak] in a decade. The jacket underneath is built for days when a shell alone isn't enough.

Body-mapped 60g PrimaLoft® Silver insulation sits in the chest and kidneys, so it's warm where you lose heat fastest and breathable where you don't. The GORE-TEX 2L shell is windproof, waterproof and GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY™, and Crossflow Venting™ with zippered side body vents keeps you from overheating on hard laps. A StormForm Fulltime Contour™ hood, RECCO® reflector, goggle/lens dump, exterior-access phone pocket and sleeve pocket with a detachable tethered scraper complete the [ak] feature set.

Best for: women who want a one-of-a-kind printed snowboard jacket with core-mapped warmth, GORE-TEX protection and every [ak] feature for cold days in serious terrain.

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.
