An ultra-lightweight, packable GORE-TEX jacket with splitboard-specific utility for the earn-your-turn crowd.
As the lightest weight, most packable jacket in the line, the men's Burton [ak] 3L GORETEX Stretch Hover Jacket combines ultimate performance with a low-volume design that takes up little space in your backcountry pack. GORE-TEX C-Knit stretch fabric delivers best-in-class waterproofing and breathability, repelling heat-robbing sweat vapors for total comfort on both the climb up and the ride down. YKK water-resistant zippers provide further weatherproofing. Utility chest pockets accommodate splitboard skins to keep them warm and sticky for that last lap. It's all backed by a lifetime warranty.

How To Measure
Arms
Measure the distance from the middle of the back of your neck, over the top of the shoulder, along the outside of your arm, over the elbow to the prominent wrist bone, taken with the arm bent 90 degrees and the hand placed on the hip.
Chest
Place a tape measure under your arms and measure around the fullest part of your chest.
Natural Waist
Measure around your natural waist at the narrowest point.
Hips
Measure around the fullest part of your hips.
Body Inseam/ Inside Leg
Measure from the top of your inner thigh along your leg to the bottom of your ankle. If you like your trousers long, measure down the lower part of your foot.
Garment Inseam
Using a pair of pants that fit well, measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the leg. For outerwear pants we recommend that cuffs do not pool in the front to stay clear of binding buckles and connection points.
