High-Performance Technical Snowboarding Gear From The Future.
Burton Snowboards are the leading brand for the global snowboarding industry. Since the 1980s, Burton has developed rider driven snowboard outerwear like the Burton Riding Suit and the first technical snowboard jackets. In the early 2000s, snowboarding had introduced a new era of freestyle big-mountain riding and along with it came the first technical-high performance backcountry outerwear under the brand [AK].
AK was born out of need and necessity. The snowboarders of the time influenced this outerwear, with the ‘AK Jacket’ and’ Hi-Top Pant’ becoming the riding kit for many Burton athletes. Twenty years later, Burton AK is still leading the charge for technical, high-performance snowboarding outerwear. The developers of AK teamed up with Gore-Tex to combine expertise and experience to create a rider driven line of garments with a snowboard specific fit and the most waterproof and breathable membrane. Each garment is engineered with features and technology to keep you riding all day and in any condition.
The Hover Jacket is the lightest snowboard jacket in the Burton AK and Burton line. It is packable and made using the stretchy 3L Gore-Tex fabric. Its highly waterproof, breathable and features chest pockets to accommodate splitboard skins to keep them warm and sticky for the next lap.
Designed with Burton athlete and backcountry aficionado Kimmy Fasani, the AK Kimmy Bib has set the standard for women's snowboarding bib pants. They feature backcountry specific details like the dual tech pockets, stretchy back panel and a zip-out seat that lets riders take care of business easily. There are two variations of the Kimmy Bib; a Gore-tex 2L and a Gore-Tex 3L. The main difference is that Gore-Tex 3L version is super lightweight and stretchy.
The Helium Powergrid base layer is a mid-weight thermal top made from Polartec Powergrid fleece fabric. This sweat-wicking base layer helps you stay cool while you ride while also being super light and breathable. A close-to-skin fit means you can flex and move like you need to.
The AK Dispatcher 25L backpack is the perfect mid-side day pack for snowboarders in heading out into the backcountry. It has a clean design and has easy access to the dedicated avalanche tool storage pocket. The back panel and side zip provide easy access to grab spare gloves or an extra layer. The Dispatcher 25L has multiple board carry options, technical pockets and a snow-shedding back panel.
Auski stock a large range of Burton Snowboarding products including the AK technical range, Step On Boots and Bindings and Snowboards.
