The bomber feel of the men\'s Burton [ak] GORE-TEX Cyclic Jacket makes it a superb shell for riders who use and abuse their gear on a daily basis. Fully sealed with GORE-TEX seam taped GORE-TEX two-layer fabric, it breathes when setting steep bootpacks, yet provides total waterproofing when it\'s puking two inches per hour. Harnessing the function-first design and backcountry utility of [ak], the Cyclic\'s dialed detailing includes ample venting, a systematic mapped lining, water-resistant zippers, and a rider-driven articulated fit.
