What’s up? I’m Matt Guf, for the House Snowboard Shop, this is the Burton Mongrel
Snowboarding Jacket. This is part of the Team Fit Series. That’s right, going to be a
relaxed fit. It actually has two inches of length on the bottom and about one inch of
additional length on the articulated sleeves. Now the combination of both a waterproof and
breathable material makes this a DryRide Durashell type jacket. That’s one of the categories
that Burton has in their line. It’s ten thousand millimeters of waterproof material
on the outside. So it expels and sheds quite a bit of water, and also breathes quite well.
There’s five thousand millimeters of breathable material. Now, like I said this jacket has
a lot of cool features, all over the place. It’s a great riding jacket and it looks
cool. You don’t have to wear this on snow, you can wear this the movies, you can wear
this taking your girl out, whatever. Now, on the sleeves it has the adjustable cuffs
of course, if you like them open or closed; you can have them open or closed. There’s
a contoured fitting hood that you can fully adjust of course and lots of pockets. The
pockets are fleece-lined, so if you don’t wear gloves like Joe Sexton you can just have
them in your pockets just to warm up. There’s a media pocket, of course, inside as well.
And you can bring up your headphones through the jacket so the cords aren’t going to
be all over on the outside. Because when you’re busting front ten’s with tail, everyone
once in a while your hands flop in front of your face. I don’t know if you guys have
ever been riding and you’ve pulled your earbuds out of your ear. It sucks, it hurts.
So these jackets actually have the wire opening through the jacket. It’s definitely good.
Now, on the inside of the jacket there’s a lot of cool little features. Of course,
there’s a powder skirt; that is a jacket to pant interface that Burton has, if you
don’t like wind blowing up your jacket, this is a great idea. Definitely check it
out. Now, this jacket also has a quilt lining, it’s called Thermacore quilt lining. So,
it’s going to be warm. It’s going to be warm, like right now it’s like 72 degrees
in the studio. I’m hot as hell. I think I’m sweating a little bit, but like I said
there’s lot of cool features; key rings, hem closures, media pocket, cool 13 or B logo,
depending on how you’re looking at it. Yeah, this is the Burton Mongrel Jacket. If you
dig snowboard jackets that look cool and ride well with ten thousand millimeters of waterproof
material and five thousand millimeters of breathable material, yeah.
