Burton AK 2L Stagger Snowboard Pant Review

$299-$369
We have had AK 2L Stagger Pants  for many years and in many different varieties. If you look on line you can see AK 2L pants for sale that are up to 3 or more years old and in soo many different varieties.  The Stagger Pants are sturdy, usually have a thick material on the outside, have fleece in the butt and sometimes the knees and last for a long time.  These pants are baggy but not super baggy.  They come in a variety of styles but the most common is the AK 2L Stagger Pant.  You can't go wrong with almost any style of these pants.   Another thing that is great about these pants is Burton's customer service.  Keep your receipt and if you ever have an issue with the seems Burton will fix them.   There is one thing to be aware of is that a lot of these pants claim that they have fleece in the knees but they usually only have fleece in the butt unless they were made before 2008.  For 2011 The Fleece is back in the knees so now we can say that 2011 seems to be ok for the AK 2L line.   Check Out the Detailed Review Below.

The Good Ride Take

The Burton AK 2L Stagger Pant Review By The Good Ride

Like we said above we have had many versions of the Burton AK Stagger Pant over the years and for the most part the design is very consistent.  The only issue we have had is the mysterious disappearing of the fleece in some of the pants between 2008 and 2010.  We are happy to see that the fleece is back in the knees for 2011.  The AK Stagger Pant is very similar to the AK 2L Cyclic pant. The only real differences is the Cyclic only has a mesh liner throughout the pant and no fleece.  Other than that it is just a style/pocket thing.  Now back to the Stagger.  We have noticed that over the years the pants have been getting less and less baggy.  As of 2011 the pant now has a similar shape to the Sessions Gridlock pant.  It's more form fitting from the crotch to the knees and then bags out to fit the boots.  We liked the freedom of movement with the baggy pants of the past but so far are pretty happy with the newer fit of the 2011 models.  The price is pretty high but we love how Burton gives these things a lifetime warranty.  It gives you the feeling you get as a skier with Patagonia, Arcteryx, Mountain Hardware and other high end articles of clothing.   Most of our pants have held up well with over 50 days a year on them for many years. Some have over 4 years and continue to block out the elements.  The reliability shows that the AK 2L Stagger Pant is well built and a solid reccomendation for the 100 day a year rider.   It is also a great call for that rider who gets 30-50 days a year in and wants to wear 1 good pant for any condition.  For 2011 the Burton AK 2L Stagger is offering old school buttons instead of snap buttons.

 

In conclusion Burton is doing a great job at offering a pant that doesn't make the snowboarder want to wander over to the high end clothes designed for skiiers.

FEATURES
RiRi AQUAzip™ Water-Resistant Zippers

Every component of RiRi's AQUAzip has been engineered and tested to provide optimal strength and weather protection. First, a water-resistant film is laminated to the zipper tape. Then each tooth is bonded directly to the zipper tape with every half tooth offset to create a “shingle effect” that locks out wind and water. The zipper slider rides right on the teeth for smoother operation and increased durability.
