When it comes to weather protection and style, the Burton Boys' Apollo Jacket takes one giant leap for mini shredders. Thermacore insulation boosts warmth without adding bulk, and highly water-resistant DryRide Durashell material blocks wetness. On really deep days, shorty can zip the Apollo to his Burton pants with the Link Zip interface, and flip the oversized hood over his helmet to block the elements. He’ll be stoked to throw his MP3 player in the custom sound pocket and his lift ticket into the retractable pass pocket. Fleece-lined, double-stacked cargo pockets give the kid plenty of room to stash snacks. - Fall 2008.
Bottom Line: Your shredder kid will dig the freestyle performance of the Burton Apollo Jacket.
I purchased this jacket for my son who loved it. I thought the overall price was reasonable, and quality good. I knew that this would not be an overly warm jacket and that was confirmed it is quite lightweight, he always wears a thick hoody underneath to provide additional warmth. I was impressed with the great customer service and delivery times. Unfortunately I had to have it shipped to an US address although I am a Canadian Resident, out of Dogfunk's hand as it was a Burton Policy.
