Women’s Burton [ak] Summit GORE‑TEX 2L Insulated Pants
Product Overview
Designed for riders who want dependable warmth and protection without bulk, the Women’s Burton [ak]® Summit GORE‑TEX 2L Insulated Pants offer a refined balance of insulation, shell performance, and mountain-ready design. Built to endure cold lifts, deep snow, and demanding terrain, these pants deliver confident coverage and rider-focused features.
Key Features & Technology
-
GORE‑TEX 2‑Layer Shell Fabric — fully waterproof, windproof, breathable shell that keeps moisture out while letting internal moisture escape.
-
Strategic Synthetic Insulation in Core Zones — targeted warmth through the seat and thigh zones to retain heat where you need it most, without restricting motion.
-
Fully Taped Seams with GORE‑SEAM® Tape — all vulnerable seams sealed to prevent snow or wind penetration.
-
Articulated Women‑Specific Cut — patterning shaped for the female form with mobility in key movement zones (hips, knees).
-
Mesh‑Lined Side Zippers with Storm Flaps — full-length side opening for ventilation, and ease of putting on/removing over boots.
-
Internal Boot Gaiters with Gripper Elastic & Reinforced Cuffs — keep snow out of your boots while resisting abrasion from edges or crampons.
-
Low‑Profile Thigh / Cargo Pockets — sleek zippered pockets placed for easy access without interfering with movement or layering.
-
Hem & Ankle Reinforcements / Kick Panels — robust fabrics at lower legs and cuffs to guard against wear and tear.
-
Waist Adjustment System — dual side cinches or tabs to dial fit as layers or use changes.
-
Jacket‑to‑Pant Interface — designed to integrate with outer shell jackets to seal against snow ingress during aggressive riding.
-
Reflective Accents / Safety Details — subtle reflectivity for better visibility in low-light or storm conditions.
-
Durability & Support — engineered for long-term use and backed by repair or replacement protection.
Why It’s Premium
The Summit Insulated Pants deliver the rare combination of shell-grade protection and purposeful insulation tailored for women. Rather than blanket warmth, insulation is placed strategically. The cuts, fabrics, and features all align to support movement, durability, and comfort in real-world mountain settings. These pants are not just functional — they’re refined for riders who expect more from every layer.
Fit Tip & Style Notes
-
The fit is women’s articulated / relaxed — roomy enough for layering yet contoured to move with your body.
-
Stick with your usual waist / hip size unless you layer heavy insulating pieces, in which case size up.
-
In ride posture, the hem and cuffs are designed to overlap boots and maintain snow-seal without tension.
-
Side cinches let you fine-tune the waist fit when switching between layers or gear.
-
The articulated design helps prevent fabic binding when bending knees or adjusting stance.

Fit Checklist
-
Buckle / cinch waist and bend knees — seams and zippers should move freely
-
With boots and gaiters on: internal gaiter overlaps boot tongues, and outer hem aligns properly
-
Side zips can open/close smoothly under light tension
-
Movement (walking, squatting, climbing) should feel natural — no tightness at knees or seat
Care Guide
-
Use a technical detergent formulated for waterproof outerwear — avoid conventional detergent or softeners.
-
Close all zippers, flaps, and fasteners before washing.
-
Use a warm, gentle wash cycle and rinse thoroughly to avoid residue that can clog membranes.
-
Tumble dry on low or use mild heat to reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
-
Reapply DWR when water stops beading — use a spray‑on or wash‑in treatment appropriate for shell fabrics.
-
Spot clean stains using a soft cloth and mild soap; avoid bleach or harsh scrubbing.
-
Ensure pants are fully dry before storage.
-
Store loosely or hang to avoid permanent creases or stress in the fabric.
-
Address small fabric damage or seam wear early with patches or seam seal to preserve waterproof integrity.
