Winter’s coming! Booked on our Saas Fee or Morzine 10 week snowboard course? Then it’s time to shop for new gear. We asked our good friends at Burton UK for their “must haves” from the Burton Winter Collection 2016 … 

Support local snowboarding

Ok Lads and Lasses, here’s a full run down of what you’ll need for a winter of stoke!

Boards to bags to gloves and goggles – and everything in between.

Remember to always support local snowboarding and hit up this UK local shop finder link on Burton.com.

Karma’s strong … buy from your friendly neighbourhood shopkeeper and amaze as you land every trick you try!

Book on the Morzine 10 week snowboard course and you could ride with a Burton UK Pro

Boards

Lads: Looking for an all rounder that can take on the whole hill? Pick up a Burton Process.

Process

More freestyle orientated? Make sure its the Process Off-Axis.

Lasses: The Process’ sister is the Deja Vu. Great do it all, go anywhere snowboard.

If you like a little added rum in your punch … say hello to the Feelgood!

Boots

Lads: Are you a hardcore ride everyday of the season kinda guy? You need an Ion!

Ion

Love laces? Then the Fiend is your new best friend.

Fiend

Lasses: No contest … the Ritual.

Bindings

Lads: The Burton Malavita is the new Burton Team favourite. Once you ride it, you’ll know why.

Malavita

Lasses: The Lexa is – and has always been – every girl’s “go-to binding”.

Even girls sponsored by other brands are riding them. Look closely and you will see!

Lexa

Jacket

Lads: You’re probably not bothered about a jacket? Instead you just cruise around in a thin coach zip and hoodie?

But when the weather sucks, being wet is the worst.

Nylon zip ups, hoodies and powder equal missing last lifts because you got cold!

So for those days you need an [ak] 2L Velocity Anorak.

The [ak] function with “cool kid” pullover styling. First-till-last-lifts for more stories in the bar!

[ak] 2L Velocity Anorak

Lasses: There is only one way to go here: keep it long, keep it slim and add a “collab” with the L.A.M.B. Riff Parka.

Pant

Lads: The big baggie pant days are long gone, sorry. Keep it mid fit with a tuck at the knee.

Check out the Southside pant that has two fit options mid and slim. Which are you?

Southside Slim

Lasses: You want the pants that the boys like? But would you wear big baggies down to the bar? Nah!

The Vida snowboard pant keeps you looking and feeling good.

That means your guaranteed to ride better. It’s all about confidence.

Vida

Beanie

Lads and Lasses: Keep it “burgler” and turned up! And please … put the BOBBLE down!!

Kactusbunch (for Lads)

Bone Cobra (for Lasses)

Goggles

Lads and Lasses: Not being able to see is going to ruin your day. Full stop.

Get yourself a set of Anon Magna-tech goggles.

With the quickest changing lens in the industry you’re never going to get caught short by the changing weather again.

Unless you left the spare at the bottom of the hill. Doh!

Anon Magna Tech Goggles

Anon MFI: Magnetic Facemask Integration

Helmet

Lads and Lasses: The worst thing about helmets is the weight. So keep it light.

For the lads we have the Talan.

The girls get the Griffon, which at 385grams will having you forgetting it’s even there.

Griffon

First layer

Lads: You want a Mid Weight Crew and Pant because being cold sucks.

Plus if you’re lucky enough to drop a keg later, you’re looking good too!

Added stink-proof tech means you can wear them all week long.

Mid Weight Crew

Lasses: Take on a Women’s Tech Tee with a cute drop tail styling!

UPF 50+ rating so you’re not going to burn catching those spring time rays.

Bottoms, try the Women’s Burton Active Legging. Just in case you come across that yoga class off the side of a red run.

Stranger things have happened.

Tech Tee

Gloves

Lads: The Free Range Mitt is coooooool.

Free Range Mitt

Lasses: Women’s Warmest Mitt: it’s called that for one reason and one reason only.

Bags and luggage

Lads and Lasses: The Wheelie Gig Bag: lifetime guarantee and can fit your entire quiver.

It’s perfect for a weekend trip or a whole season. Hopefully the latter.
