it's hard to tell from specs and pictures exactly how it will feel/perform. i need some comments from people that have this shit. how does it hold up? is it warm? i was personally looking into getting the 3L jacket and it's tough to decide whether or not a shell will be sufficient or if i would need something with a lining.

its a sick jacket, but provides little insulation. you definitely have to layer with a jacket like that. that being said, if you can get good deal on it go for it. burton ak stuff is great.

yeah i work at a shop that deals burton outerwear, and i can get cost+20% off, so price isn't an issue. i just need to know if it'll hold up. anybody have similar outerwear and care to write a little review?

I have an older burton puffy, about 3 season that has a 10,000mm rating on it, it treated me very well last year.
even tho i bailed off a cat track and fell 10ft into a rock garden, it only had 2 small tears, in the elbow which i fixed.
They make some of the best stuff in the industry.
I don;t think you'll be dissapointed.

Burton Ak stuff is awesome. i have some 2l pants I put 100 days on last season at alta and they still are like brand new. I just bought the ak 3l jacket and it is veryyyy sick. the softshell material is so nice, you do have to wear stuff under it though...its a shell. But realyl great stuff.

burton's ak line is the best quality. i'm not quite sure, but i think the 3L is at least 20,000 mm waterproof. it has some third level gore-tex shit that's insane. it's definitely a shell though so layering is key to keeping warm. in my opinion, it's one of the nicest jackets burton makes.

You should get the ak cargo jacket, it would only cost you like $180.
