What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I wore the AK Cyclic GORE-TEX 2L Bib Pants through a full storm cycle and never felt a drop get through, the taped seams and 2L GORE-TEX held up lap after lap. When the sun broke out, I popped the inner thigh vents open and stayed comfortable without ever stopping to change layers."We built our storm days around the AK Cyclic GORE-TEX 2L Bib Pants long before the forecast ever confirmed it was worth it. Burton engineered these for the riders who show up whether it is dumping snow or just barely holding onto winter, and the articulated patterning with a crotch gusset means every lap, lift, and hike stays loose and unrestricted. The 2-layer GORE-TEX shell and fully taped seams keep moisture locked out while the recycled soft taffeta lining moves with us underneath. Zippered cargo and chest pockets keep gear organized without slowing us down, and when the pitch warms up, the mesh-lined inner thigh vent lets heat escape fast. Hook-and-loop suspenders and an internal waist adjustment mean the fit stays dialed no matter how many layers we're running underneath.
