"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""This is hands down my favorite shell for touring and storm riding. The AK Hover jacket is ridiculously light, crazy durable, and the stretch GORE-TEX feels like a softshell but performs like a full-on alpine hardshell. I’ve used it on deep powder days and long skintracks—no complaints either way.""From dawn patrol tours to storm-day laps, the Burton [ak] Hover GORE-TEX 3L Stretch Jacket keeps us dry and agile in the harshest mountain conditions. As the most minimalist shell in the [ak] collection, it delivers all the protection we need without any unnecessary bulk, keeping our packs light and our movements unrestricted. The premium 3-layer GORE-TEX fabric with stretch gives us full freedom to skin, scramble, or drop into steeps without ever compromising weather protection. Oversized zippers and glove-compatible features keep transitions smooth, while the minimalist design means there’s no fluff, just pure function. Whether we’re navigating exposed ridgelines or charging down tree runs, this shell is built to move fast and far."
