The Burton Men’s [ak]® Helium Hooded Stretch Insulated Jacket is the midweight layer that belongs on every packing list. It brings lightweight synthetic insulation to cool, windy hikes and slides easily under a shell for extra warmth on an exposed ridge top. Stretch nylon fabric moves with the body for an unrestricted feel, while the breathable construction keeps things comfortable on the climb uphill. When the weather warms up, the jacket stuffs into its own handwarmer pocket and tucks away in a small pack without taking up space. A fitted hood, handy pockets, and reflective details round out a slim fit built for backcountry touring and snowsports. This versatile three season piece quietly does its job so the adventure can take center stage.
