Burton Snowboard Jackets

What’s so sick about this:

• 3/2 means how much insulation is in the jacket
• Slightly less insulated sleeves for greater range of motion
• Cargo Pockets lined with fleece to warm your hands
• Music pocket
• Powder Skirtwith Zip Links to attach to pants
• ALS lining which brings your body heat back to you
• Pit Zips for ventilation
• Colder to mid climate jacket

If you’re like many savvy consumers of today, a purchase that serves several purposes and has a long life span is worth every penny. How about a flannel shirt that wicks moisture, breaths, adds a layer of warmth and looks clean enough to wear to a parent teacher conference? Burton has made this possible with their Tech Apparel line. Long are the days of wearing cotton hoodies to the mountain. Well, some people still do it. They’re easily recognizable with chunks of snow glued to their cotton snow magnet that hangs beneath the jacket. Wearing anything cotton while snowboarding is just plain silly. Because we’re snowboarders, we don’t want to look like a goof wearing a nerdy mock turtle neck base layer either. Snowboarding is all about style and individuality on the mountain…in the lodge and at happy hour!

This year, the designers at Burton bumped up a few pieces of their tech apparel line with Burton DryRide Mist-Defy. In addition to being quick drying and moisture wicking like the rest of the tech apparel line, DryRide Mist-Defy pieces also water repellent. They look and feel like street wear, but perform like a regular jacket. Take your pick from these mountain and street friendly killer pieces…

Remember when Mom used to dress you in the thickest jacket for winter? The “Mom Test” really doesn’t hold true anymore. Whether waiting for the bus, walking to class or tearing through the trees, a warm, compressible winter jacket with less bulk is where it’s at these days. As far as snowboarding goes, what a drag it’d be to feel restricted when  launching a huge Japan Air. Burton came up with an incredible solution through a blend of 3M™  Thinsulate™, which is a high loft insulation made of compressible microfibers that keep you warm. Compared to any synthetic (non-down) insulation, it’s truly one of the best. Guys, pick your poison - Arctic Jacket, Breach Jacket, Faction Jacket, Groucho Jacket, Hackett Jacket, 2L Gore-Tex® Highland Jacket, Highlife Anorak, Poacher Jacket, Squire Jacket. Ladies, have at it – Delerium Jacket, Elenor Jacket, Jetset Jacket, Logan Jacket, Method Jacket, Penelope Jacket , Prism Gore-Tex Jacket or  Scarlet Jacket.

Burton team riders require ultimate mobility and comfort in all conditions. With 3M, Burton found a progressive solution through a blend of 3M™ Thinsulate™  , an insulation constructed from unique, hi-loft microfibers for increased warmth with less bulk. Breathable, water resistant and durable, it’s proving there’s substance to the cliche, “less is more.”

There’s a wind prone torture section of the quad just above the crest of the first peak that always draws your shoulders right up to your ears. When you pull your jacket collar up over your face, the fleece interior gets damp and your goggles sometimes fog. We’ve all experienced this at one point or another. These days, snowboarding jackets often have extended collars that are intended to act as extra protection for your neck and face. Burton developed the Blowhole Collar, which allows your damp breath to dump out the collar. That way, your goggles won’t fog. Your jacket collar won’t get all wet and gross. Best of all, the vent won’t let the cold air creep in the jacket since it’s strategically placed on the sides of the collar with a slit, mesh opening. Bam! Take that cold lift rides. Check out Burton Snowboard Jackets for the life changing Blowhole Collar.

The Burton Blowhole Collar is a ventilation system that lets you breath easily without fogging goggles, icing up or overheating. When you dip your chin into the jacket’s collar to avoid the cold, your breath and condensation is channeled through the collar away from your face and goggles. Steady visibility through goggles can be key for someone riding all day.

Burton prides itself on being a rider driven company. And for that very reason, they come up with the wackiest, craziest and smartest ideas in everything they design to make riding more practical, comfortable and FUN. The Burton team riders travel the globe following snow throughout the year and it’s a no wonder they demand outerwear that suits their every need and desire. One of our favorite features on Burton pants are the leg lifts. It’s simply a snap system where the back of the cuff can be tucked up to avoid stepping on it…and ruining your pants overtime. Many riders wear their pants a little big, so stepping on your pants will certainly wear them down much faster than the rest of the pant. The leg lifts are a quick and easy way to tack your pants up. Even better, it doesn’t look nerdy. The snap is only on the back, so it just looks like your pants are bunched up a bit. Leg lifts are incorporated into all Burton mens pants, womens pants, boys pants and girls pants.

Burton leg lifts eliminate the need to roll up each pant leg to steer clear of mud, rock salt, pavement or nasty restroom floors. Simply snap up each cuff and you’re set.
