So I was at my local ski shop looking for late season deals. I found this awsome jacket for 1/2 off and was going to buy it but then I hesitated. Why? Because it was burton. Im not sure why the ski community wont exept burton outerwear, other then the fact that it is a snowboarding company. My friend thinks its weird but I think its a great coat. Does anyone else on ns wear burton stuff?

I've got a burton jacket from my early high school snowboarding days. It was actually the Sean White signature jacket /puke. As much as I hate the guy and what burton stands for, it was a great jacket. It kept me warm on some really cold Alaskan days, I'm talking 5-10 below, and I would wear it to school in the -30 weather too.

Funny thing is, I went down to alyeska to ski, and I saw a snowboarder wearing a simon dumont jacket. We had a good laugh about it :p

I have a Burton coat. It's Gore-tex, it's high quality, and it has a lifetime warranty. I don't care what brand it is, it's got what I want in a coat.

why do u care what other people on ns feel about what YOU wear?? the only kids that would are little 11yr olds like urself, thats not what matters, if u dont like burton, dont buy burton! snowboarders wear saga, so why cant u can wear burton? and no one reely cares for those "will i look good in this" and "should i buy this" kind of threads, 'cause we couldnt care less and u shouldnt care what others think because u should have ur own style

I wore a Burton jacket my first few years skiing, and comfort/functionality wise it was great. The only reason I buy more ski oriented apparel is because I wanted to support smaller companies more linked to the sport, but in the end it shouldn't matter what you wear as long as your happy with it

I dont see why people care so much about how they look on the hill. I dont have saga or fd or any of those brands and i get pretty dirty looks from the decked out park rats. Skiing is about having fun and throwing down tricks, its not a fashion show.

There's no problem with wearing Burton as long as you don't act like a stuck up little bitch because you wear burton gear. We have a lot of gaper ass wannabe snowboarders at my school that wear exclusively Burton gear and brag about how they can 50/50 a 2 foot fun box. I wear a Rome SDS jacket and half the gapers at school would believe me if I told them it's a snowboard jacket ( shows you how much Burton riders know about there sport).

Let' s face it outerwear is outerwear and the needs of our estranged cousins, snowboarders, are similar, if not identical, to our own. So their gear would perform as well as ours. Same materials, similar technologies, probably the made in the same factory in Asia (or at least nearby). So in the grand scheme of things who gives a shit? The only difference is the significance we give the brands and their respective marketing schemes.

Goddamn, back in the day we all wore Burton because most of  the alternatives were too closely related to the racing scene with tight fits, bright colors (although that seems to be cool again) and lighter weight (good) but less durable (bad) materials.

Wear your Burton, who cares? Oh yeah the poser/gapers will....fuck them eh?

You are 11 years old, is this true?

You shouldn't worry about this stuff you are gonna go through many sets of outerwear in your ski life....please don't waste your brain cells obsessing about this stuff....

a skiier wearing burton is like dividing by zero and the universe will implode upon itself. either that or this guy is right.... im going with the zero quotient theory.

It's a legitimate question, because it's NOT about what other people think if you do wear Burton. It's about whether you shouldn't rather support a skiing brand. So the TE has a point in which case I'd say...



















...oh nevermind, I like my Burton pants :D

Really its no different then wearing any outwear from any of the other snowboard company's. 686, (which is what I wear) Foursquare, Grenade, Planet Earth, Special Blend. to name a few.
