Even if you only ever followed the world of snowboarding, chances are you have heard of Burton. One of the first snowboarding companies, Burton is known for making some of the best snowboarding gear out there, so it is unsurprising that a Burton product sits at the top of our list.
One of the most stylish jackets on the mountain, riders are sure to appreciate the unique look that Burton brings to its snowboarding jackets without sacrificing performance. This jacket is warm and waterproof for those snowy days.
Those who don’t want to sacrifice style for comfort while shopping at a lower price point will enjoy the Burton Covert (Jet Set for women). This jacket is perfect for places that get drier, fluffy snow, and lots of it! Those who live in wetter climates will want to consider a jacket that stays drier in seriously wet conditions.
