Women chasing deep snow will reach for the Burton AK Cyclic GORE-TEX 2L Women's Jacket, an uninsulated shell with elite storm protection. A top-tier waterproof, breathable membrane seals out the worst weather while a mobile cut lets you layer to taste. It is the storm-ready shell for riders who charge in all conditions.

Why we like it:

The pure-shell design is the draw; it protects like the best hardshells while leaving you free to set your own warmth with layers. Rider-focused venting and pockets keep it dialed for hard backcountry days.

Features and Functions:

The women's Cyclic Jacket uses a 70-denier recycled nylon GORE-TEX 2-layer plain weave good for 28000mm of waterproofing and 20000 breathability, fully taped with a mapped mesh and taffeta lining. Pit-zip vents, water-resistant zippers, and a helmet-compatible hood complete a storm shell built with Bluesign-approved materials and a PFAS-free water repellent.

Fit and Sizing:

A women's freeride fit rides easily over a midlayer with room to layer. True to size, cut for backcountry and resort riding.

Bottom Line:

For storm-day freeride inbounds and out, the Cyclic Jacket is best at elite, uninsulated waterproof protection. A dependable, do-anything shell for women who set their own warmth.
