Why we chose the Burton AK Incline 20L Snowboard Backpack: It’s an AK backcountry backpack built to last.

Burton’s AK range is known to produce high quality products that last more or less a lifetime, and this AK Incline Backpack is no different to the rest of the line. Whether you’ll be facing hardcore wind, heavy snowfall or arm-wrestling a polar bear, this thing will make it through in one piece… even if you don’t.

This magnificent backpack is made for splitboarding, and once we’ve finished listing all the tech that’s gone into producing it you will understand why. First off the bat, it’s an AK (meaning it’s got the best tech that Burton’s got to offer). Everything is top notch here, and it’s about as lightweight as a backpack made for its purpose could be.

Everyone loves pockets, and Burton’s made sure this thing has plenty of them. You’ve got a pocket for a shovel, a probe, and a beacon. There’s also a built-in helmet carrier with attachment loops, and a fleece-lined goggle pocket to protect your eyewear from scratching. As if that wasn’t enough, Burton’s also added an attachment feature for ice tools and poles, a pocket for your water bottle, and straps for you to be able to attach your board vertically to the back of the pack.
