Action Snowboarding

We all know Burton is one the most recognized and well respected brands in snowboard equipment and apparel. Is it any wonder their jackets are also so well received? After a good deal of research and my own personal experiences as well, the verdict is in: Burton Jackets rock.

As with many other clothiers, Burton doesn't just have a couple of jackets in their arsenal. The snowboard culture requires a little creativity when it comes to their gear and Burton certainly steps up to the plate. The designs range from the minimalistic to the outright bizarre. A jacket for every person and personality, you might say. The features and strengths are just as diverse. From women's jackets made to resemble petty coats and business outerwear, to more sturdy offerings that include multi liner inserts and gortex, there are simply so many choices at your disposal.

One of Burton's latest offerings is the "Defender" Snowboard jacket for men. This particular jacket offers micro fleece linings, as well as tapered seams with "Gore-Seam." While this jacket may not be the most appropriate offering for casual wear, it makes up for this with great durability, exceptional warmth and great resistance to wind - which one should expect from a snowboard jacket, in my humble opinion.

But with every silver lining, a cloud is present. The cloud in this case would be the less-than-breathable fabric of the jacket, and the absence of pockets (not totally of course, but in this age of Blackberry's and iPhones, at least a few would do). In defence of the overall shortage of pockets, at least the ones that are present are very easy to access. The most common complaint though, would seem to be with the very micro fleece lining that makes this jacket so exceptionally warm and wind resistant. The lining itself doesn't zip into the jacket, which makes one have to perform a very awkward "double zip" when wearing the two pieces together - which would be most of the time considering the conditions the jacket is designed for. Although this is quite bothersome, the lining is quite stylish for casual wear on its own I must say.

The pros certainly outweigh the cons, and remember that this is only one of a plethora of jackets Burton produces. Make it a point to check out the Burton website to find some retailers near you. Once you have located your local Burton outfitter, read some reviews and find the best fit for you. With the number of offerings alone, I am certain one will be the perfect fit. Pun completely intended.

Burton is one the most recognized and well known brands in the industry of snowboard and ski equipment. One of their products is the binding, which is what keeps your boot attached to your board. They offer models for the intermediate to the advanced skier. The binding has cush padding, lightweight polycarbonate baseplate, which offers comfort and dependability. Prices are competitive with great quality. The Burton bindings are very strong and take a long time to wear down with proper care. Most importantly they offer a lifetime baseplate warranty.

The Burton website is very comprehensive and offers a parts breakdown (excellent for trying to figure out the exact piece that may need to be replaced if required) if parts get broken or missing. You can easily call the toll free number or e-mail their customers service to request the part that you need. Or you may also check with your local distributor as Burton being such a well known brand, chances are they may have the parts you require. The Burton binding comes in small, medium and large. The Burton website provides what size fits for each model.

The Burton binding is easy to put on even with large gloves and believe it or not you can even adjust the buckle while manoeuvring down hill. Another reason for someone who is just starting out to the experienced snowboard / skier to buy and try for the very first time. We all want equipment that is easy to use and friendly when doing something we quite enjoy. We want to be able to have fun with our friends with no hang ups. The binder is light weight which helps you enjoy the ride cautiously or for those who enjoy the rush of speed. They work great on the snow or powder. The binder highback are easy to adjust to a slight lean forward to a bit further.

The rapport on the Burton binding is unbelievable and come highly recommended.
