Burton [ak]® Swash Down Insulated GORE-TEX 2L 2027 – Women's Insulated Jacket

Description

The Burton [ak]® Swash Down Insulated GORE-TEX 2L is built for women who ride hard in serious winter conditions — from lift lines in deep cold to backcountry powder missions. It combines the warmth of down insulation with the proven storm protection of a GORE-TEX 2L shell, all in a regular fit designed for all-day movement.

At the core, a GORE-TEX 2-layer recycled nylon 30D ripstop shell delivers waterproof, windproof, and breathable protection with fully taped seams and YKK® water-resistant zippers. Inside, 800-fill down insulation traps heat without bulk, lined with a Pertex® lightweight 20D recycled nylon ripstop down-proof fabric. The regular fit uses articulated patterning for unrestricted mobility, while [ak]-level details — Crossflow Venting™ with zippered side and sleeve vents, a drop-down convertible hood with Cohaesive™ cinch system, an ergonomic stretch zip-out waist gaiter with jacket-to-pant interface, and stretch shaped cuffs — make it as functional as it is warm. Pockets include zippered chest pockets with expandable bellow, a sleeve pocket with a detachable tethered scraper, a goggle/lens dump pocket, and an interior mesh dump pocket. RECCO® reflector and a lifetime warranty round it out.

Who It's For

This jacket is ideal for women who split their time between the resort and the backcountry and need one jacket that handles both without compromise. If you ride through storms and cold snaps without wanting to layer up constantly, the down insulation and GORE-TEX 2L protection make this a natural choice. It also suits riders who value smart pocket organization and ventilation control on variable-temperature days.
