Men’s 2026 Burton [ak] Swash GORE‑TEX 2L Jacket | Atomic Yellow
Product Overview
When you want full-featured protection without going full-weight, the Burton [ak] Swash GORE‑TEX 2L Jacket delivers. Designed for big lines, harsh conditions, and aggressive riding, this shell combines targeted insulation with pro-level waterproofing to keep you warm, dry, and dialed in from peak to park.
Key Features & Technology
-
GORE‑TEX 2-Layer Fabric — completely waterproof, windproof, and breathable, engineered to keep you dry no matter how hard it’s dumping.
-
Mapped Insulation: Primaloft® Silver (60g Body / 40g Sleeves) — low-bulk warmth exactly where you need it; maintains mobility and breathability in motion.
-
Living Lining® with Soft Taffeta — regulates body heat using adaptive materials that open or close micro-pores depending on internal temperature.
-
Fully Taped Seams with GORE-SEAM® Tape — eliminates weak points for full weatherproofing.
-
StormForm Fulltime Contour™ Hood — helmet-compatible, ergonomic shape that moves with your head for full peripheral visibility.
-
No-Snag Pit Zips™ — mesh-lined underarm vents dump excess heat without catching layers underneath.
-
Powder Skirt with Jacket-to-Pant Interface — seals out snow and wind, connects to compatible Burton pants for full storm armor.
-
Zippered Chest and Handwarmer Pockets — fleece-lined and strategically placed for access even with a pack or harness.
-
Interior Dump Pocket + Media/Goggle Pocket — large enough to stash gloves, skins, or tech without overheating.
-
Cohaesive™ Embedded Hood Adjuster — easily adjusts hood fit with gloves on.
-
YKK® Water-Resistant Zippers — durable and smooth through cold snaps and storms.
-
Ergonomic Articulation — pre-shaped cutlines match body movement for better comfort and style when riding.
Why It’s Premium
The [ak] Swash is the sweet spot between all-day warmth and ultra-flex mobility. Built for riders who ride hard, hike lines, and push into sidecountry, this jacket packs thoughtful insulation into a streamlined 2L GORE-TEX shell — so you stay warm on lift rides, but don't overheat on long hikes or drops. It’s not overbuilt; it’s built right.
Fit Tip & Style Notes
-
Regular articulated fit — designed for full mobility and layering without being bulky.
-
True to size for most riders — great over a midweight layer or insulated vest.
-
Size up if you prefer a roomier fit or ride with a heavy puffer underneath.
-
Designed for movement — longer sleeves and body coverage keep you sealed up even when tweaking grabs or reaching gear.
-
Slight drop tail for better back coverage when sitting or strapping in.
