Burton GORE-TEX [ak]® Swash Down Insulated 2027 – Insulated Jacket

The Burton GORE-TEX [ak]® Swash Down Insulated is the brand's heaviest-hitting storm jacket — a backcountry-ready shell built for riders who venture out in the worst conditions winter can throw at them. Combining the protection of a certified waterproof membrane with genuine down warmth, it's designed for full days in the mountains, not just lift laps.

Constructed with a GORE-TEX 2L recycled nylon ripstop shell and lined with a Pertex® lightweight 20D recycled nylon ripstop down-proof fabric, the jacket houses 800-fill down insulation that maximizes heat retention without bulk. The regular fit uses articulated patterning to keep movement natural and unrestricted. Crossflow Venting™ — through zippered side body and sleeve vents — handles heat management on the go, while the drop-down convertible hood, ergonomic zip-out waist gaiter with jacket-to-pant interface, shaped cuffs, and fully taped seams complete an [ak]-level feature set built around riding efficiency. YKK® water-resistant zippers, a RECCO® reflector, and a PFAS-free membrane and DWR round out the technical package. Backed by a lifetime warranty.

This is the jacket for the rider who pushes into the backcountry or charges through storms that send everyone else to the lodge. The down insulation and GORE-TEX 2L membrane make it uniquely suited to cold, wet, high-output days where warmth and weatherproofing both have to perform. If your season involves long cold approaches, variable weather, and zero tolerance for gear fuss, the Swash Down delivers.

• Is this jacket compatible with Burton pants for a sealed waist interface? Yes — the ergonomic zip-out waist gaiter is designed with a jacket-to-pant interface for a connected, draft-free fit with compatible Burton pants.
