The Burton Men's Hybrid Jacket uses heavier three layer fabric in high wear areas and lighter two layer fabric in upper body for increased mobility, so you can tweak and spin without a heavy jacket getting in the way. When you heat up hiking the pipe, the Hybrid jacket's Outlast lining absorbs heat. When you get cold waiting to drop in, the lining magically senses you're getting cold and releases the stored heat. Keep your iPod in the waterproof chest pocket, and slip your goggles into the Hybrid Jacket's integrated goggle pocket when you go in the lodge. *Available for US shipment only. - Fall 2007.
Bottom Line: The Burton Hybrid jacket gives you heavyweight protection wear you need it, lightweight protection where you don't.
The Burton Hybrid Jacket is definitely a snowboard jacket with a roomy, baggy fit. I love this jacket. It is super waterproof and has tons of great features. All the pockets you would expect from a top of the line jacket. I am definitely stoked on the Burton Hybrid Jacket.
