Bottom Line: The Burton AK Stagger Jacket—wet-weather armor for the seasoned rider.
Truly a great coat. Fits loose, but not gangsta baggy. I'm 6'2 200lbs and the xl is roomy, but perfect with a fleece underneath...
Lots of pockets for all your gear(also has ipod pocket/cord holder) and a great venting system with pit zips as well as front vents that circulate air to cool off quickly..
Truly a great jacket..
Great Shell. Very happy with my purchase. I have a 39" chest. Initially got a Medium, which was slightly too tight in the shoulders and returned it for a Large, which is bigger than I like, but better than the medium. The material used for this jacket is good and tough. I ride Northeast trees so I'm constantly in contact with branches. With this jacket, I've had no worries about the jacket getting snagged or ripping (stay away from the Cyclic line). Keeps you dry and warm with the right layers. Hood fits over my helmet. Perfect pocket placement and number. Ipod pouch is useless though. It's too low in the inner pocket and your ipod will bounce around when riding. I use my fleece layer's pocket instead. I have classic Black. Won't go out of style next year.
Amazing Jacket! Absolutely one of the best jackets I've bought. Was thinking about a couple from Arc'Teryx but the thinner 2 layer Gore-Tex is perfect. It keeps you completely dry but it doesn't overheat you at all. Great pocket location, easy to reach zippers. Cut slightly baggier but it's more so you could layer because it doesn't look like it's cut baggy. My only advice is if you wear a helmet religiously, be forewarned. The hood does NOT have enough room for a helmet. I have a hard time putting the hood on even without a helmet. Other than that absolutely best jacket.
