[ak]® Japan Guide 35L Backpack (Sample)

When the goal is to leave no stash untracked, the Burton [ak] Japan Guide 35L Backpack brings a backcountry-savvy, top-loading design big enough for full-day tours. Designed in collaboration with Japan riders Masanori Takeuchi and Hiroshi Fujiwara, its fully informed by the deep-snow riding experience that makes winter in Japan so special. Small details like glove-friendly zips and buckles plus a dedicated goggle pocket make for smooth transitions and easy gear management when its cold and stormy.

Rider Designed Features
