Zip up the Burton 3L Hybrid Jacket and turn your riding up full throttle. Burton’s Dryride Durashell three-layer construction helps keep you warm and dry, so you can shred the nasty while everyone else blows on soup in the lodge. The 3L Hybrid’s new Engineered Lining System welds insulating panels to the backside of the three-layer fabric in heat-critical zones to retain more heat and increase breathability. Burton taped the seams of the Sig-fit (slightly baggy and long) 3L Hybrid Jacket, and gave it handwarmer pockets with waterproof zippers, a no-chafe chin collar, a goggle pocket, and more features than we can put on one page. - Fall 2008.
Bottom Line: Save gas mileage and shred harder in the Burton 3L Hybrid Jacket.
Just got it, tried it on, and I could not be happier. I am 5'8'', 150lbs. It fits a bit baggy, but in the good way. I love the jacket! The color is more like an olive green, which is AWESOME. I cannot wait to hit up the mountains! I uploaded pics of the extra insulation, which is a nice touch. It is a thin jacket, so be sure to wear an extra layer under. It will work great as a rain jacket too with how waterproof it is, especially here in the Northfresh!
This is by far the best jacket I've ever owned. The patches of fur are awesome and work surprisingly well and if you get to hot just open up the vents. I would recomend this jacket to everyone, especially if you have wet snow or windy conditions becuase nothing penetrates it. The only problem i had was that it runs a bit too baggy, but found it looks even better that way.
haven't been able to test it out in the wild yet, but so far i love it. i've owned enough burton gear to know the quality in their products. and i have no doubt it will be bomb proof for the descents. i just hope it will be breathable enough for the way up. in situations where it is not, it's definitely small enough to fit in my pack. i'm 6'1" 170 lbs. and the small fits perfect, which is a little unusual — generally i wear a medium. but after having tried on the latest burton garb, i noticed that their stuff is running a little big these days, so i went with the small. i also have long arms, so im glad there's enough length there too.the hazel isn't quite as dark as the photo above, which was also a nice surprise.
i'm docking a star for lack of wrist gaiters — even with the velcro closed tightly around my gloves (which btw isn't quite as stylish) i had to hike the sleeves down multiple times to keep out the powder. i'm going to have to sew in my own wrist gaiters.
