Pro Burton riders Jussi Oksanen, John Jackson, Terje Haakonsen, Jeremy Jones and Kimmy Fasani are capable of some pretty incredible feats, but not without a little help from the right gear. In this behind-the-scenes video, Burton heads to Delaware to take us behind the complex manufacturing and testing process that goes into its mountain-tested collaborative line with GORE-TEX, called [ak]. We’re also introduced to the athletes themselves, who give their own perspective on why they’ve come to rely on [ak] when it’s time to go big in the backcountry.
