- Is the Summit Pant warm enough on its own?
- Yes for cold resort days. It has synthetic insulation and a fleece lining, so most riders wear only a base layer underneath. On mild spring days it will be too warm.
- How does it compare with Burton's uninsulated AK pants?
- The uninsulated AK shell pants are lighter and more versatile for layering and spring riding. The Summit adds insulation and a fleece lining for cold days, at the cost of bulk and breathability.
- Does it fit true to size?
- It runs baggy and long. Riders who want a trimmer fit often size down, and shorter riders may need the hem taken up.
- Is it good for skiing as well as snowboarding?
- Yes. The Gore-Tex shell, gaiters and insulation work the same for skiers, though the baggy cut is styled more toward snowboarding.
- What features come with the pants?
- Zippered pockets, integrated snow gaiters, reflective details and a normal waist with a two-layer Gore-Tex membrane.
- Can I wear it for hiking or backcountry touring?
- It is heavy and warm for sustained climbing. It suits sidecountry and short hikes, but touring-focused riders usually pick a lighter shell pant.
- Where is the Burton Women's AK Gore-Tex Insulated Summit Pant cheapest?
- At The Burton Corporation, for $439.95, as of our latest check.
