Matt Guf for The House Snowboard Shop. This is the Burton Tronic Snowboard Jacket. This
jacket has a lifetime guarantee against the manufacturer’s defects, so if anything goes
wrong with this jacket, send it to Burton. They’ll either fix it for you for free or
send you a brand new one. The Tronic Jacket is part of the Sig Fit Series. It’s this
fit right in the middle; it’s not too large and it’s not too small. It’s actually
for the average guy out there, but this isn’t an average jacket whatsoever. The Tronic Jacket
is part of the Dry Ride Two Layer Durashell Technology Series. It’s a combination of
two things: number 1 being the abrasion-resistant fabric on the outside, and underneath the
waterproof breathable membrane, there’s 20,000 millimeters of waterproofing material
and 15,000 millimeters of breathable material. This is going to be a very water-resistant,
very breathable jacket. If you are in [red] conditions or conditions that make you sweat
a lot, this is going to be a perfect jacket for you. Yes, it is just a shell-type jacket,
but you can definitely layer up with any of the layer systems Burton has as well. Now,
on the inside of the jacket there’s some great features. On the outside of the jacket,
again, there are some great features. One the outside, of course, there’s a contoured
lifetime hood. It’s not removable, but it is fully adjustable. So you can have an odd-shaped
head and this thing’s going to fit or a normal-shaped head and this thing will fit
as well. Of course, there’s going to be pit zips. This allows your armpits to breathe
a little bit more. And one of my favorite things, the [POW] thumbs. That’s right.
You don’t have to wear these, but these keep your jacket seams down on your arms instead
of like lifting way up. Sometimes when you grab tail or you tweak it hard, sometimes
that sleeve lifts up. The POW thumbs won’t let you do that. There’s adjustable cuffs
as well and lots of pockets on this jacket. There’s two chest pockets and two sub belly
pockets. The belly pockets actually have a nice, fleece lining and elastic closures as
well. There’s a keyring that keeps your keys intact so you won’t lose them. Don’t
lose your keys; attach them. And probably my favorite feature about this jacket though
is the new Blowhole Collar Exhaust. The collar is actually a chafe-free collar as well. But
when you have your face mask on, you have your goggles on, you’re sitting on the cherry
lift, sometimes your goggles get foggy. With this Blowhole System your goggles won’t
get foggy. There’s actually an exhaust system that when you--when you blow out of the collar,
it actually moves out of the jacket with ease. It’s a great feature, and if you don’t
like foggy goggies, this is going to be a great thing to have. Now, on the inside of
the jacket there’s a multi-zone ALS Lining. It’s a nice, soft lining. You can wear a
t-shirt, again, if you want, and you can layer it up as well. Of course, there’s going
to be a media pocket. It’s a nice, big media pocket if you want to put your goggles in
there. Of course, it’s nice and soft. Or put put your lunch or a bottle of water. And
you can slide your headphone’s wires right out the little slip, so your headphone wires
are going to be on the inside of the jacket instead of the outside of the jacket. This
jacket has a lot of cool features, great fit, lifetime guarantee. The Tronic has a Blowhole
Exhaust System. Sig Fit Series, 20,000 millimeters of waterproofing material, 15,000 millimeters
of breathable material. If you ride in wet conditions, this is going to be your bestfriend.
If your ride in really warm conditions, again, this is going to be a very good jacket for
you with some POW thumbs. See you guys later. Tronic Jacket. Lifetime guarantee.
