At Burton they stand sideways. They sleep on floors in cramped resort hotel rooms. They get up early and go to sleep late. They've been mocked. They've been turned away from resorts that won't have them. They are relentless. They dream it, they make it, they break it, they fix it. Burton creates. Burton destroys. They wreck themselves day in day out and yet they stomp that one trick or find that one line that keeps them coming back. They progress.
The epitome of ergonomic innovation, the Burton [ak]™ Hover Jacket is our toughest, highest performance jacket and a favorite of shred legend Terje Haakonsen. Everything from collar shaping to pocket and stitch placement has been engineered to integrate seamlessly with your actions.

RiRi AQUAzips and minimized GORE-SEAM® taping eliminate entry points for pesky moisture particles, while LinkZIP™ connects to any Burton [ak] pant for total coverage during your baptism in the bottomless.

AK FOR LIFE!!! | |
| Rating: |  |
| I got the original AK 3L jacket and pants in 2000, the first year Burton made them, for writing a review for them in Powder Mag. I never gave them back. 9 years and well over 250 days of use later, they are still rolling strong. Of course, some minor rips and the like, but if you had any idea what I've put this gear through... I am ram hard on gear and expect the best. I've broken a thousand branches on them with nearly NO tears, gone 12 hours in wet storms and stayed bone dry, used them 9 consecutive dry days in super wet conditions, banged and scraped off sharp granite talus, ate drank and slept in them and my bros have been nothing short of dazzled by their solid performance. I've had several other outerware pieces I rotate through occasionally, but none has ever hit the mark of the Burton AK line. I never imagined when I got them they could be so durable and last a decade of brutal use. Maybe on their tenth anniversary I'll retire them out of regular service, but only to be replaced by new AK gear. They are hands down by a mile the two best pieces of snowboard gear I have ever owned in 18 years of riding. I just hope the 2010 versions are up to snuff! | |

Gets the Job Done, and Then Some | |

| After a few years of leaving the mountain with damp layers due to moisture soaking through my jacket, I decided to upgrade to a waterproof shell. Let's just say I couldn't be more pleased. The venting system is great, keeps a good air flow going when you don want to overheat. I expected the GoreTex to not let any moisture through, and it lived up to that, but I was really impressed by the aquazip zippers. They aren't very smooth to slide up and down, but man, they do their job well. I've been out in a couple heinous rainstorms and they're yet to let anything through. And despite being totally waterproof, it is ridiculously light and packs down tiny, so think there's any chance you might need it, you can just stuff it in your pack. One thing to note, the handwarmer pockets are not actually fleece-lined like the item description says, but it hasn't bothered me at all, considering I have gloves on 90% of the time when I'm wearing it. | |

A few serious things got overlooked | |
| Rating: |  |
| I cannot zip up the jacket all the way with the hood over my helmet. I wear an XL helmet but basically this jacket's hood is NOT helmet compatible. The other thing is that I don't know what sort of "cross ventilation" system they are talking about. There are two upper pockets and two lower pockets. The only ventilation is the pit zips. It's still a bomber jacket but if you wear a helmet and/or want some ventilation maybe keep looking. | |
