Mens Burton Quarter Zip Bonded Hoodie
One of our favorite layering pieces that Burton makes is the Quarter Zip Bonded Hoodie. Burton took their best-selling bonded hoodie and added the zip at the neckline for a more customizable fit. Layer it under your jacket for colder days or shred in it alone on those warm bluebird March days. Either way it’s going to help you stay warm, dry and looking pretty good while doing so. DWR coating keeps the moisture out, the bonded fleece adds great insulation and the hidden stash pocket gives you a place to put your…ahem… iPod or something.
Women’s Burton Ayers Down Jacket
Ladies, we know you are out there getting your shred on when the temps are dropping. That’s why we are going to recommend the Burton Ayers Down Jacket.

Whether you are commuting to class and waiting for the bus or riding that windy lift up the peak, the Ayers down promises to keep you warm.
Women’s Burton B By Sydney Jacket
For the fashion conscious snow Betty out there, we love the Burton B By Sydney Jacket. With a long, slim fit, the Sydney jacket offers a flattering silhouette and has some cool details like the quilted sleeves and ribbed waistband. The hood lining gives you a sneak peak to the killer graphic inside and the waist gaiter is removable for those who will wear this as an everyday jacket.
