The 2007 Burton AK Expedition Fleece, AK Fleece Pant, and AK Midweight First Layer Top and Bottom recently claimed three separate Polartec Apex Awards, which are presented to North American and European companies that make the most outstanding Polartec® based products. The Apex Awards call out Burton’s products as some of the most innovative garments in the industry. Garments and accessories are judged on innovation, design, style, workmanship, fit and functionality.
“We are glad to be recognized for our First Layer and Fleece lines,” says John Lacy, Strategic Business Unit Director of Outerwear and Gloves at Burton. “Thanks to our exclusive partnership with the FYI Design Team and the feedback from our pro riders, we were able to take our AK line to the next level. It’s great to be acknowledged for our efforts to create the best gear on the hill.”
The winning Burton products will be on display at the Outdoor Retailer and OutDoor tradeshows in the Polartec® booth.
