Burton [ak]® Cyclic GORE-TEX 2L Anorak 2027 – Shell Jacket

The Burton [ak]® Cyclic GORE-TEX 2L Anorak is Burton's flagship two-layer shell in a classic anorak silhouette. Built for serious riders who chase storms and don't compromise on protection, it's engineered for full days in the worst mountain weather — wind, wet snow, and everything in between.

The shell relies on a GORE-TEX 2-Layer recycled nylon construction that is fully waterproof, windproof, and highly breathable, with all seams fully taped for zero leak points. The regular fit uses articulated patterning to deliver a natural, unrestricted range of motion without excess bulk. Key [ak]-level details include Crossflow Venting™ side zips, a StormForm Fulltime Contour™ hood with embedded cinch, shaped cuffs, a bungee hem cinch, and water-resistant zippers throughout. Pockets are thoughtfully placed: a zippered sleeve pocket with detachable scraper, an insulated exterior phone pocket, expandable chest pockets with a goggle dump and ATM pocket inside, plus a card slot. A RECCO® reflector is integrated for backcountry safety, and the jacket carries a lifetime warranty. Materials are bluesign® approved and produced without intentionally added PFAS.

Who it's for

Riders who spend full seasons in the mountains and need a shell that keeps up through spring sleet, January blizzards, and everything in between. The anorak style and [ak] feature set make it equally at home in the resort or in the backcountry. If you run a mid or base layer system and want a weatherproof outer that moves with you, this is it.
