Another one from Burton, the Doppler is a great snowboard option for those wanting a GORE-TEX hardshell, but aren’t sure about the price that is normally associated with it. The Doppler (Kaylo for women) also comes in a rider’s fit, making it a little longer than your typical GORE-TEX hardshell. This jacket is great for riders who spend a lot of time in wetter climates.
The waterproofing is the GORE-TEX standard and holds up to downpours on the mountain, but also allows for ventilation on warmer days. This jacket is also packed with features typically only seen in insulated coats, making it a good jacket for those who don’t want to lose the features but want to maintain the versatility that a hardshell provides.
Those wanting a hardshell will be happy to see the price point of the Doppler. This jacket is great for riders who want to control their layering and who want a hardshell with the features of a purely inbounds jacket. Those who are looking for a jacket with insulation will want to look elsewhere.
