Description of Burton AK 2L Summit Vent Pant - Women's: |
|
Pull on your Burton Women’s AK 2L Summit Vent Pants, and go through the gates. Or into the middle of snowy nowhere. These Gore-Tex Performance Shell pants promise to keep you dry, no matter how wet conditions are. Narrow Gore-Seam tape sealed all the seams, so you get max protection and breathability (less tape equals more breathable fabric surface area) and minimal bulk. Water-resistant zippers foil spindrift’s attempts of getting in through your vents or pockets. Burton gave the AK Summit Pants its Sig Fit—loose but not hanging off of you. - Fall 2008.
Bottom Line: Go big; stay dry.

| great pant, with a few issues 04-13-09 |

| These pants are mostly great, but with a few issues.
First, the great:
The color. I got the chartreuse, and I get TONS of compliments on them. My boyfriend also loves that they make me very easy to spot on the slopes.
The fit. I am 5'9", 140 lbs, wear 6/8 pants, and the medium is a nice fit they are even long enough, which is hard to find. I always wear something under them because I tend to get cold easily and can just open the vents if I'm too warm.
The styling. The 2 front zippered pockets looks really cool, and these pants are quite flattering.
The waterproofing. They are guaranteed to be waterproof, and they are. I have worn them in storms, in powder, and in slush, and I have always remained dry.
The venting. I can open them up and stay quite cool on warm spring days.
The extras. The left pocket has a small internal velcro pocket that is the perfect size for stashing some cash, a credit card, and driver's license. The right pocket has an attached glove hook.
Then, the issues:
The waist adjustment. The specs on this site are incorrect. These pants do not have belt loops, and the only source of adjustment is a pull tab on the waist connector.
The waist connector. There is some black webbing that leads to a plastic "belt" connector. This does not always stay fastened.
The connectors. These pants feature a zipper along the back which allows you to connect the zipper of a Burton jacket. This is a really solid interface. However, if you don't have a jacket with the zipper, there are no side connectors to attach a more conventional snow skirt to. I got really frustrated when the Burton AK Baker jacket did not feature this zipper, even though Burton claims all of their AK jackets do.
Overall, I love these pants even though they're not perfect. Although I have several other pairs of snowboarding pants, I have worn nothing but these since they arrived. As long as the issues mentioned above are things you can live with, I recommend them. |

| I am a small in burton's SIG fit pants, however I purchased a small in these and they're huge. If you buy them be aware that the pants are super long and you can fit your whole body inside of one of the pant legs :( |
