Burton AK Helitak 2L Gore-Tex Stretch Jacket Write Up Review by The Good Ride

The Burton AK Helitak 2L Gore-Tex Stretch Jacket is a 2 layer Gore-Tex anorak Jacket with a great amount of synthetic insulation. It was just too big overall in a size large for me but the purpose of this review was only to try on in the studio for fit and feel. This is actually James personal jacket and Im sure there will be an extended “on snow” review.  The arm length was OK, however the length in the torso was too wide and long. I would like to try a size medium for comparison purposes. It is constructed out of a very soft Gore-Tex fabric that felt very durable and comfortable.
