2010 Burton [ak] Hover Jacket
The new AK Hover Jacket has gone to the next level. It's a 3L Proshell Gore-tex laminate with a high performance 70 denier Nylon face, combined with the ultralight 'kaya' woven backer on the inside. This jacket is ideal for backcountry use with the highest possible breathability, and two big reach across cargo pockets (fully accessible while wearing a backpack) that have external bellows, so the volume of the loaded pockets stays on the outside. You can literally put a DVcam in the pocket, and forget it's there! This is a minimalist / purpose built high performance snowboarding shell, if you're looking for the bells and whistles feature package, look elsewhere...
