Burton Snowboard Outerwear in Amsterdam

Shop Burton snowboard outerwear online at Behind The Pines or visit our Amsterdam store for personal advice on jackets, pants, layering and fit.

Burton has been developing snowboard clothing alongside its boards and bindings for decades. The range covers technical shells, insulated jackets, snowboard pants and bibs designed for different weather conditions, riding styles and levels of activity.

At Behind The Pines, we select outerwear based on how it performs as part of a complete mountain layering system. Waterproofing matters, but so do breathability, mobility, fit and how easily a jacket or pant works with the layers underneath.

Burton Snowboard Jackets

The right snowboard jacket depends on the weather you ride in, how warm you run and what you wear underneath.

A lightweight shell gives you the most flexibility. You can change your insulation underneath depending on the temperature and activity level, making a shell especially useful for riders who snowboard across very different conditions.

An insulated jacket adds warmth directly into the outer layer and can be a better choice if you regularly ride in cold temperatures or simply prefer a warmer setup with fewer layers.

Burton Snowboard Pants and Bibs

Snowboard pants need to do more than keep snow out.

Fit, mobility, ventilation, durability around the cuffs and enough room to layer underneath all influence how comfortable they are during a full day on the mountain.

Traditional snowboard pants offer a familiar fit and easy layering, while bib pants provide additional coverage around the waist and torso.

The best choice comes down to personal preference, how you ride and the conditions you normally encounter.

Burton DRYRIDE and GORE-TEX Outerwear

Burton uses different waterproof and breathable materials across its outerwear collection, including its own DRYRIDE fabrics and GORE-TEX technology on selected models.

The important thing is not simply choosing the highest specification available. Your typical conditions and level of activity matter.

A rider spending most days making lift laps in normal resort weather may have very different requirements from someone riding storm days, splitboarding or spending long periods in wet snow.

Waterproofing protects you from snow, sleet and rain. Breathability helps moisture and heat generated by your body escape.

A good snowboard outerwear setup needs both.

For a more detailed explanation, read our Layering Guide.

Shell vs Insulated Burton Outerwear

One of the first decisions when choosing snowboard outerwear is whether you want a shell or insulated setup.

Burton shell jackets

A shell focuses primarily on weather protection without adding significant insulation.

This makes it easy to control warmth by changing your base and mid layers throughout the season.

Shells are particularly useful if you ride in a wide range of temperatures or tend to generate a lot of heat while snowboarding.

Burton insulated jackets

Insulated jackets combine weather protection with built-in warmth.

They can be a comfortable choice for colder resort days and riders who prefer a simpler layering system.

Neither option is automatically better. The right choice depends on how warm you naturally run, where you snowboard and how much flexibility you want from your layers.

How to Layer Burton Outerwear

Good outerwear works best as part of a complete layering system.

A typical snowboard setup consists of:

• a moisture-managing base layer
• an insulating mid layer when needed
• a waterproof and breathable outer layer

The conditions determine how much insulation you need.

On warmer days, a technical base layer underneath a shell can be enough. On colder days, adding fleece or another insulating layer gives you more control without needing to replace the outer shell.

Choosing the Right Burton Outerwear Fit

Snowboard outerwear needs enough room to move and layer without becoming unnecessarily bulky.

When trying on a jacket, think about your actual riding position. Raise your arms, bend forward and check whether the sleeves and hem still provide enough coverage.

With snowboard pants, check how they sit over your boots and how much freedom you have through the knees and hips.

Fit is partly technical and partly personal. Some riders prefer a clean regular fit, while others want a looser silhouette and more room for layering.

Trying outerwear with the layers you actually intend to wear underneath is often the easiest way to make the right choice.

Why Buy Burton Outerwear at Behind The Pines?

Snowboard clothing can look very similar on a product page while feeling completely different once you are actually riding.

At Behind The Pines, snowboarding is a core part of what we do. We select outerwear with real days in the mountains in mind rather than simply comparing waterproof ratings.

We look at:

• waterproofing
• breathability
• insulation
• fit
• layering space
• mobility
• ventilation
• riding conditions
• how warm you naturally run

That allows us to recommend outerwear based on how you actually snowboard.

Caring for Burton Snowboard Outerwear

Technical outerwear performs best when it is looked after properly.

Dirt and oils can reduce the performance of the outer fabric over time, while the water-repellent finish may eventually need refreshing. Burton recommends proper washing and, when necessary, restoring the DWR treatment to maintain performance.

Always follow the care instructions for the specific garment.
