Burton AK 2L Cyclic Gore-Tex® Jacket - Waterproof (For Men)

lots of features

GREAT JACKET ALL AROUND.

Nice jacket, BUT... I'm 5'11 and 41.5" chest 180lbs. I'm a big medium or a small large. Medium stuff is usually too small. I always get large (better too big than too small) and put up with stuff sometimes being slightly big. However, this large is actually large. I live in Calgary. Boarding in -30C sometimes. This is big even with the intention of wearing multiple layers underneath. Chest not much too big, but arms v long. Large size would suit about 6'2", 43" chest unless you like V baggy w long arms (and the extra trick-inhibiting weight that brings - poser noob!) Returned Large for a Medium. From an inspection of the large, this coat is as well designed/built as you'd expect. If you get the deal I did, it's a bargain even if you have to return one to get the right size. Only criticism is weight. The finish on the fabric is nice, but it makes this a little heavier than some gore-tex shells. A little nicer too. Re looks: I'm no fashion victim. I care about performance/$ and spending my savings on other high performance/$ stuff. I try to avoid the fashion filth the boarding industry pumps out each year [...], it'll still be high performance at a great price. Can wear in town without embarassing yourself and/or making people ill too. Thanks Sierra. Great service on the exchange.

This is an outstanding piece of Gore-Tex equipment. Fit and comfort are great along with the cooling effects of the pit zips. Price was 50% off. I'm glad I bought this jacket.

This jacket was exactly what I expected and more! I wear it on the mountain as well as around town on a cold day. I normally wear a large ( I'm 5'10" and 190 lbs), however, I learned on my last purchase of a Burton jacket that the sig fit runs a little long past the waist and in the sleeves. A medium was a much better fit and the sleeves are still a bit long and there is plenty of room for layering. No complaints though! The off-center zip looks great and doesn't rub your face raw, plenty of storage inside as well, both of which are not true of the 2010 model.
