Once you go AK, you can't go back?? The GORE-TEX performance that makes so many people say just that. The best shell for those who are with their gear every day and put it through its paces... that would be the [ak] GORE-TEX 2L Cyclic Jacket. With GORE-TEX 2-layer material and GORE-SEAM® tape processing on all seams, it provides high waterproofness even in bad weather with 5cm of rainfall per hour. At the same time, it also has high breathability that allows sweat to escape to the outside even when hiking on steep slopes. With plenty of vents, a liner placed based on meticulous calculations, YKK® water-resistant matte zippers, and a rider-designed three-dimensional fit that pursues mobility, there's nothing to complain about the functionality-first [ak] design and practicality in the backcountry.
