Burton [ak] Swash Synthetic Insulated GORE-TEX® 2L 2027 – Insulated Jacket

Description

The Burton [ak] Swash Synthetic is built for committed all-mountain riders who want a single, no-compromise jacket on cold days. Pairing a waterproof GORE-TEX 2L shell with integrated insulation, it eliminates the need to think about layering so you can focus entirely on riding.

The shell uses a GORE-TEX 2L recycled 70D nylon construction with fully taped seams and YKK water-resistant zippers for reliable waterproofing. 60g PrimaLoft Silver insulation is body-mapped to the chest and kidneys — not the arms — to keep your core warm on the lift without overheating when you're pushing hard. Crossflow Venting™ side zips manage heat buildup, while the rider-wrapped fit and articulated patterning give you full freedom of movement. The StormForm Fulltime Contour™ hood with Cohaesive™ cinch seals out wind and snow, and a stretch powder skirt with jacket-to-pant interface keeps drifts out. Pockets include a zippered chest with bellow and goggle dump, an exterior phone pocket, a sleeve pocket with detachable scraper, and an interior mesh dump — plus RECCO reflector for backcountry safety. Backed by Burton's Lifetime Warranty.

Who it's for: This jacket suits intermediate to advanced riders tackling full days in genuinely cold conditions. If you rely on a single jacket rather than a shell-and-mid-layer system, the Swash Synthetic is designed precisely for that approach. The body-mapped insulation means you stay warm without overheating on sustained runs or sidecountry laps.
