Burton Poacher Jacket Review

Burton Poacher Snowboard Jacket

The Burton Poacher snowboard Jacket is a Sig Fit Jacket, so this jacket isn’t super gangster and it’s not super emo either. It’s for the average guy out there that just likes to ride. Now, the 5,000 millimeter water proof material and the 5,000 millimeter breathable material combined with the abrasion resistant fabric is what Burton calls Dry Ride Durashell. It’s a combination of the abrasion resistant and then the waterproof and breathable membrane. This jacket is going to work well in both wet and dry conditions and have a high output energy and a low output energy. So you can sweat in this jacket and it’s going to breathe quite well, and you can be in rain, sun, or whatever, and so it will stay fairly dry. Now, the outside of this jacket has a lot of great features. Of course, it has adjustable cuffs, a contour-shaped hood that’s fully adjustable, and lots of pockets. And the pockets in this jacket are pretty unique because they’re fleece-lined pockets. If your hands get cold, stick them inside. They also have an adjustable waistband, it pulls on the inside of the pocket, and a key ring to attach your keys to that and you won’t lose them when you’re riding. Now, the jacket also has a couple of chest pockets as well which all have buckle closures, but my favorite stuff is actually on the inside of the jacket.

There is a full media pocket as well. It keeps your wires on the inside of your jacket and your headphone wire’s not on the outside in the elements. I’ve had speaker wire or headphone wires freeze up on me. I’ve had them pulled out of my ears and things of that sort. Of course, there’s going to be a powder skirt, and the powder skirt actually attaches to the Burton Snowboard Pants. If you don’t have Burton Snowboard Pants, don’t worry. You can just clip the powder skirt together and it keeps the elements from getting inside your jacket. This jacket gets pretty hot actually in the studio here. I’m glad there’s pit zips, of course. But what makes this jacket actually so warm is the 40 grams of Thermacore that surround the inside of this jacket. There’s a nice soft fabric called Taffeta Lining that keeps this jacket from being to itchy or anything of that sort. There’s going to be a mesh-lined pocket inside to hide your goggles. So if you like an average fitting jacket with a lot of great waterproof and breathable properties, the Burton Poacher Jacket is going to be a great jacket for you to have. It’s bright green.
