An Inside Look at the Burton AK 2L Turbine Snowboard Jacket
There is nothing worse than being out on a killer powder day and shivering on the lift because you aren’t dressed right for the conditions. It all boils down to finding the right outwear setup to keep you warm, dry and shredding happy on even the wettest and coldest days. That is where the Burton AK 2L Turbine jacket comes in.
The Gore-Tex Performance Shell will really keep out the moisture and the PrimaLoft Insulation will keep you plenty warm. Most users mention that only one base layer is needed to achieve the perfect warmth. The stretchy, synthetic PrimaLoft Insulation regulates your body temperature and compacts really well. This is a nice advantage over down jackets since you are cutting down on the overall bulk of your jacket.
The fully taped seams and Riri Zippers are bomber for keeping out the wetness. Conventional coil zippers require a PU coating strip on the outside to cover the zipper while the Riri zippers actually have plastic meshed teeth that do away with the need for a PU coating. The meshed teeth interlock on a diagonal and act as a water barrier.
This jacket is built to be exposed to the elements. Fear no blizzard or wet spring conditions with this jacket. With fully taped seams, Rare zippers and a waist gaiter, you really need to yard sale so bad that you lose your clothes to get wet in this one! You are extra stoked if you own Burton pants because the link ZIP jacket-to-pant interface will completely keep the fluff out of your drawers.
Style
A few of the discontinued colors this jacket comes in are Goldenseal, Stone Gray, Burlap and Olive. If you can find this jacket in the Smoke Camo and Brown then you are stoked because that is the color scheme this jacket shines in!
Durability
The lifetime guarantee says it all. Burton snowboard jackets are built to last period.
Pockets
Poorly designed pockets or too few pockets can ruin what would have been a great jacket. This is not the case here. The Turbine features 2 hand-warmer pockets, 2 chest pockets and 2 internal pockets to accommodate a tool, a sandwich and your safety meeting essentials.

Things To Note
Burton made this jacket a bit longer at the request of their customers and also made it a bit baggier which is true to their Sig Fit. Some users have bought one size smaller to make up for the bagginess. What size to order will depend on you much you like to layer, your chest size and whether you prefer the lose, baggy feel or a sleeker, tapered look.
Price
This jacket retails at around $450.00 but can be found online for as little as $250.00. Do you comparison shopping due diligence and you’ll score a sweet deal! For a great Burton snowboard jacket selection please visit www.boardriderlounge.com
