Every ounce matters when you're packing it all on your back. The men's Burton [ak] Hover GORE-TEX 3L Stretch Jacket is the lightest, most packable shell in the [ak] line. Its minimalist design stows easily in your pack when you're on the skin track, and it delivers trusted stormproof protection and key features that you can count on for smooth days in the backcountry.

Very High Quality Jacket

The fit and feel of this jacket is perfect. Not too baggy, not too tight, and plenty of room for layering without feeling bound up. It is very comfortable thanks to the premium materials used and you can tell the quality out of the box. The stretchiness is not overly stretchy, but definitely gives a little when you need it. I would say the perfect amount. Plus being windproof and waterproof, this jacket is probably as close to a quiver of one as you can get. 10/10 would recommend

Now with longer arms!!

Appreciate the extra length Burton added to the arms. Jacket is light, but not what I would call ultra-light - makes it a little less ideal for packing, or use as a rain jacket, but likely increases durability. Stretch is quite moderate. I've always sized down with these. They are cut roomy.

Great fit for tall guys

I'm 6'5" and 210 lbs and went for the LARGE in light blue. I thought about going XL, but the large fits perfectly. Great colour, super light and packable, the stretch fabric is subtle and comfortable. My only issue will be being mindful of keeping the shell clean, being such a light colour. After 2 days on the hill in it so far, there are already noticeable scuffs

Perfect jacket for splitboarding

Great jacket for backcountry touring. Nice big collar to keep wind out, stretch fabric makes it easy to move and add layers under. It works out extremely well. Such a well thought out design that includes oversized zippers, key when keeping gloves on in a split-board transition.
