Burton AK 2L Gore-tex Stagger Pant

The Burton AK Stagger pants received 5 stars from me because of their great performance, fit, and style. I am a snowboarder who loves to just be on the mountain whether its raining or enjoying fresh pow. I am 6 foot 165lb. wearing a medium which sat a few inches below the naval and barely rested on the ground, bunched on the boots a tad.
The pants performance was impressive. The gore tex performance shell acted as it should and kept out all moisture. It is a thinner fabric compared to some of the other gore tex shells burton uses(ie. jakard), yet it is still durable. I just used these pants on a very icy day in which i was constantly breaking through a top layer of ice and on my knees more than normal. No sign of wear. The fleece seat and knees sounds like a small detail but it is noticeable compared to pants without. Furthermore all of the zippers have been strategically placed so as not to get in the way. The craftsmanship seems to be top notch and I do expect that from AK stuff. All seams seem to be well taped and all zippers work well.
The fit of the pants made me want to wear them all day from sun up to sun down on a day of boarding. They are lightweight enough to not be over bearing and baggy enough to wear a base layer comfortably. These are not however extremely baggy. The crotch is high and not saggy while the pants are slightly boot cut to fit over boots. Zippers as well as a button with strap are nice features to manage the bottom of the pants and keep them off the ground when your not on the slope.
The style is great, I bought the agave color which isn't an option here but is a great bright color for the mountain. Not too flashy but your party can still find you shredding down the slopes.
would recommend to a friend.

This was the 1st set of ak outerwear that I've ever purchased. I had a really hard time justifying the price of the ak stuff. In the past I would've rather have purchased 2 pairs of cheaper(10k)pants than 1 expensive gore-tex pant. this pant has made me change my view on things. I can't say enough good things about Burton's ak outerwear. i love these pants and will definitely purchase more of burton ak line! you get what you pay for!

Sooo these are now my go-to boarding pants. 2L Goretex keeps the water out. My jacket attaches to the pants so snow stays out. Inseam vents work with longer vents on the outside/back of the leg to give you a nice cross-breeze. I wrecked fairly hard on a stair feature that left a mark on the knee, but no sign of puncture or tear. I got the AK Houndstooth/Resin and it got all good reviews from my pplz. Great pants.

I recently bought a AK Stagger jacket and was so impressed with it. I have a pair of 686 Smarty pants. I love them, but these, there is nothing you can compare them to. They're so light weight and warm. The venting in the back and inner thigh is truly remarkable. These are especially great for those late spring days, where the bluebird skies are out and the snow is sloppy...Great job Burton!
